I have having a great deal of diffuculty in getting my laptop to recognize 
the fact that it has a modem. the lspci -v command lists it as a modem, acer 
labs, m5457. i am using mandrake 9.0, and have tried every applicable 
version of the drivers under several custom and the stock kernel. i have 
tried turning off the devfsd, and when i do that and then reload the 
modules, the /dev/ttySHSF0 finally appears, with the link at /dev/modem. 
however, when i try to access it with kppp, sit comes back as modem busy, 
even as root. after loading the modules and running dmesg, i get something 
to effect of that the modem is assigned irq 10, and that it cant find the 
hardware. someone out there has had a similar problem, and fixed it by 
disabling pnp in the bios: guess what. no option for me to do that in my 
bios. so am i just screwed all around, or is there something i am missing?
