There is no support under 2.6.n kernels for the 14e4:4212 modems.
Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.

There is no support under 2.6.n kernels for the
14e4:4212 modems.
There is a driver for 2.2.n kernels called
BCOM_WAN_V20.
Search for it at http://www.dell.com
However the code has not been updated for some time.
For 2.4 kernels, a fix by Giacomo Comes must be
used. See :
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg01652.html
http://cengique.2y.net/~cengiz/BCMSM/
There are BCM Subsystems 14e4:4d64 serving under
Intel ICH series softmodem controllers.
which are supported. Their AC97 codecs are BCM64 or
SIL24.
Kernels of version 2.6.6 or later are necessary. See
success reports:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg02486.html
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03690.html
http://oboc.ucdavis.edu/Marik/inspiron/
The support is typically achieved through the
snd-intel8x0m driver, plus slmodemd helper.

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
