.......how i can configure the driver of the modem card???!!!!!
please any one can answer me?!!!!!!!
To get "fast help" here, you need to give complete information. For starters, we would need to know what your modem is. Try "lspci" and "dmesg" to get info on the modem.
Have you tried configuring with whatever is in the setup menus? If so, tell us what specific problems you found.
THX ..for all of ur useful comments ..actually i tried to use openSUSE 11 and i executed lspci command and av got the follows:
