Why you don't do lsmod when it does not work and then lsmod when it works to
see which modules are loaded/installed... what are the differences... then
try to install the module you think you need when the PCMCIA modem does not
work with insmod... i.e. insmod themodule... and if that works just add the
name of that module to /etc/modules.
