    Why you don't do lsmod when it does not work and then lsmod when it works to
    see which modules are loaded/installed... what are the differences... then
    try to install the module you think you need when the PCMCIA modem does not
    work with insmod... i.e. insmod themodule... and if that works just add the
    name of that module to /etc/modules.
