Read the lspci -v output carefully! I got mine (Lucent LT winmodem)
working after recognizing that the IRQ was not detected correctly. The
system gave it IRQ 255. I had to set it manually to 169 using setserial,
and suddenly it started to work.
I have a broadband connection anyway, so I did it only for the sake of
the fact that I could do it.
Good luck with yours!
