You shouldn't have any problems with the modem, but note : that you probably won't be able to get the modem and Ethernet parts of the : card working at the same time. These cards appear to allow only one to be activated at a time, from a pccard point of view. There is some code to enable the modem part while the ethernet card is used, but I could be misunderstanding the code (since it looks magical and stolen from equally magical linux code). : If you're planning on using the Ethernet function of the card as well, you : might want to upgrade to -CURRENT (or wait for 5.2). The xe driver had a : major upgrade recently and now behaves a lot better than it did in 5.1. The CEM33 card had the wrong id. It looks like the 56k one might also have the wrong id because it is the same as the 28.8 part.
