Your most likely situation is:
High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 8086:284b.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 8086:284b does not
host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 8086:284b, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
so try
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full_k2.6.24_18_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See DOCs/Testing.txt for details.
Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
Please report back after thus testing,
