Brad,
It is too difficult to write scanModem to auto analyse all initially
disabling situations.
On your System, 0000:00:14 was initially disabled while higher
priority functions were configured, but then enabled in the end, by
assigning and interrupt/IRQ :
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.2[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
So that is not a problem.
To uninstall the dell supplied drivers
$ su root
# hsfconfig --help
which will report out options. My memory is that the uninstall is:
# hsfconfig --uninstall
Also you can rid other remnants with a command lile
# rpm -e hsfconfig-rest_or_package_name
Installing the Linuxant package over the Dell remnants should cause no
harm anyway, just overwriting older versions with newer ones.
