Re: question regarding hardware conflict and linux
Um, which PCI-based modems work with Linux? As far as I've been able to
tell, none of the PCI modems we have where I work are detected, even the
controller-based ones. I'd love to be able to get one to work.. Most of
the modems we have are built around the Lucent PCI chipsets, either the
software controller or the "software upgradable" hardware controller ones.
