Hi,
   I've installed an internal "Smartlink HSP56
Micromodem" pci modem on the first pci slot of my
H30CF jetway motherboard with(if i'm not mistakem)
only one com1 port and a com2 header which i think is
just an extra or something. I'm really having a hard
time configuring it unlike before when i've installed
an external modem. I've went to their actual
site(smartlink) and found a driver but it says its
only for Linux. I've read that freebsd can run Linux
programs(that's why I've swithched to it).
   My question is, in my case, can I also use Linux
drivers so that I can get my internal pci modem
working properly or is there something that i can to
do to make it work properly?

I've also cut this message during bootup:

pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x134d, dev=0x2189) at
13.0 irq 11, 

which I believe is the message of the kernel detecting
my pci modem.

Please help me. I'm just an average student here in
the Philippines and I can only afford to learn, but
not to by an external modem..

Thanks and regards to all of you BSD people!
