FYI, the changes to get this card working was committed shortly before
4.1.1, so FreeBSD 4.1.1 and later will wouk with the ethernet out of the
box. As for the modem port, that's one of those winmodem-ish devices and
is not supported. Actually, I'm not *sure* it's a winmodem, but glanced at
it and assumed it was. Maybe I can take another look when I get my hands
on one, but in either case, there is no support currently.
