Juzer,
While the mentioned Martian drivers will in principle support your
modem in: PCI bridge slot 00:0b.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems LT WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:044c
there is a functional barrier which cannot easily be overcome:
----------
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
15: 3713133 0 IO-APIC-edge pata_sis
--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:0b.0 ----
[ 0.234109] pci 0000:00:0b.0: reg 10 32bit mmio: [0xe1106000-0xe11060ff]
[ 0.234122] pci 0000:00:0b.0: reg 14 io port: [0xe000-0xe007]
[ 0.234134] pci 0000:00:0b.0: reg 18 io port:
[0xe400-0xe4ff]
[ 0.234197] pci 0000:00:0b.0: supports D2
[ 0.234202] pci 0000:00:0b.0: PME# supported from D2 D3hot D3cold
[ 0.234209] pci 0000:00:0b.0: PME# disabled
-----------
relates that acquisition of serving attention through "interrupt 15"
is shared with functionalities of
O-APIC-edge and pata_sis
These have been given such higher priority under the bootup kernel,
that service of the PCI slot has been disabled, as reported by:
0.234209] pci 0000:00:0b.0: PME# disabled
On your particular PC, there is no particular fix for this problem.
It is in part due to the fact that the modem (though excellent in its
youth is now a few developental phases old.)
Your best option for attained robust Internet service is though
1) a wired etherent connection
2) a wireless connection to some Router, as is commonly available
either as an at home unit or in Coffee shops etc.
