Dot,

 RE: Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
 11:       7481    XT-PIC-XT        ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb3,
ohci1394, yenta, eth1, yenta, Intel 82801DB-ICH4, eth0
---
The problem is probably to many devices sharing IRQ 11 with the modem
having the lowest priority.  Detach as much external hardware as you
can before reboot.
Afterwards:
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 down
$ sudo ifconfig eth1 down
Unload and reload the driver:
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
$ sudo modprobe  snd-intel8x0m

and rerun:
$ ./scanModem

Hopefully there will not again be:
[  456.755680] Intel ICH Modem 0000:00:1f.6: PCI INT B disabled
[  456.755699] Intel ICH Modem: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -13
which must be cured  before the modem can be responsive.
