RE: 0780 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem Controller
Primary device ID: 1106:3068
----------
Thus this is your onboard modem. Unfortunately this problem wasn't alleviated.
[ 16.972315] VIA 82xx Modem 0000:00:11.6: PCI INT C disabled
[ 16.972359] VIA 82xx Modem: probe of 0000:00:11.6 failed with error -13
which is blocking modem function still.
read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
the Creative Modem on the PCI card you removed has the AgereSystems
11c1:048c chipset
