Re: haven't gotten drivers to work

Brad,

Maybe the driver that you downloaded does not work because of
<quote>
 Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
 16:      13994          0   IO-APIC-fasteoi   sata_sil, HDA Intel
 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:14.2 ----
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:14.2 disabled
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:00:14.2 at offset f (was
10a, writing a)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:00:14.2 at offset 1 (was
4100006, writing 4100002)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

 The PCI slot 00:14.2 of the modem card may be disabled early in
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

Please read DOCs/Bootup.txt for possible fixes and send dmesg.txt to
troubleshoot this situation.

Regards,

Antonio
