[Bug 42454] Re: Documentation should include greater detail about setting up difficult network hardware

[Till Kamppeter]

I made the winmodem on my HP Compaq nc4200 laptop with today's Feisty
working. scanmodem told me to modprobe the low-level driver
(snd_intel8x0m) and after re-running it created a file
Modem/ModemData.txt in which it was written that the high-level driver
is slmodemd. With Universe and Multiverse activated I tried to find an
appropriate Ubuntu package trying

sudo apt-get install slmodemd
sudo apt-get install slmodem

and the second command installed and started the desired driver. After
that

sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

communicated with the modem and created an initial config file.

I have ASDL, but I only wanted to tell that it works for me with the
mentioned laptop.
