Leland,
Sadly it remains true that:
--------
Class 0703: 14e4:4212 Modem: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem
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.
-----------------------------
So Read InfoGeneral.txt about alternatives.
