I looked around but I can't help.
When the manufacturer doesn't list Linux as a compatible system, it makes me wonder if someone wasn't blowing smoke up your butt.
The typical manufacturer will not fail to include ANYTHING he thinks will work.
It is possible that someone else got this to work, but in those cases the results aren't always reliable.
Sorry I wasn't more help.

I have used a linux box before, and your best bet is to switch the modem that way it is going to be compatible with the flavor of linux your going to run..



remember this tho* be it windows or linux, you know whats good for you. i use windows * lol * and surely i dont get blue screens that much*
