The audio card hosts a softmodem chip:  0x11c11040
There is only support currently under a 2.6.21-20 Fedora like kernel,
from a precompiled binary driver
pair.  If you can first  do the upgrade from Ubuntu Gruby? withits
2.6.20- kernels  to Feisty with 2.6.22 level support,
then there is a at  http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/

linux-image-2.6.21.0-22_2.6.21.0-22.i686.deb
it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
Upon reboot there will there will be an option to use the new
2.6.21.0-22 kernel+modules,
where under the modem drivers agrmodem amd agrserial are located at
/lib/modules/2.6.21.0-22/extra.
http://archives.linmodems.org/30178 is a Success report.
http://archives.linmodems.org/30207 relates that there is little hope
of support under other kernels,

I'll add you to a list to be informed in the situation improves, for
support of other kernels.
But for now, read the InfoGeneral.txt about hardware alternatives, if
you don't want to bother with support only under 2.6.21.0-22
