8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Primary PCI_id
Support type needed or chipset:
scanModem could not identify the Support Type needed from diagnosics or
archives.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) >
System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double
click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For
example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID
or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
