In your case, actually identifying your modem and finding where Linux thinks it is is a problem. Probably if I had it here it would take me a few minutes to an hour. Pavel just hasn't provided enough info to work on. I like to see transcripts (by cut and paste) of what's on the screen, model numbers on devices and such. If I was working at your location I would insist on seeing the screen for myself. What Pavel said is akin to, "My car won't start." I could make some guesses about the car if I knew what noises it made. I can't make any guesses at all about his modem problem with what information he offered. -- Cheers John.
