Greetings,
As I am new to Linux I am unsure of how to install modem drivers for my Acer 5610-2013 (5610Z
Build BL50).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Michael

A modem was not detected among the above PCI devices.
This indicates that the modem, if present has a non-standard or ISA bridge.
Please follow the directions in Modem/General.txt for identifying the modem properties
when booting under Microsoft Windows. Also access any documentation sources
on yourchipset. Guidance can only be provided AFTER
the chipset and/or its drivers have been identified.
