REMARK: THE LINUXANT INSTALLER NEEDS AN INTERNET COMMUNICATION CHANNEL 
IN ORDER TO WORK !
IT IS OF NO RELEVANCE AND MISLEADING FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING ELSE 
THAN A CONEXANT NOT-YET-WORKING MODEM, NO ENTERPRISE OR PRIVATE ETHERNET 
BASED LAN, NO ADSL,  ...
THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG, YOU KNOW.
I HAVE ASKED LINUXANT SEVERAL TIMES TO WRITE IT IN FAT LETTERS.
GO ASK ... I AM TIRED.
