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

      Primary PCI_id  14e4:4212
 Support type needed or chipset:        Broadcom
 Under Linux 2.6.n kernels, the chipset is NOT
SUPPORTED . Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.

 Vendor 14e4 is Broadcom http://www.broadcom.com/ ,
now focusing on broadband tools.
 14e4:4212 is the PCI id of a  BCM V.90 56k modem
 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.

 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.1.2



 Compiling resources appear complete:
