You should check to see if the modem in the laptop is compatible. The linux driver for the Lucent modems is for their PCI modems, and most laptops don't have pci winmodems (if you do, it should be listed in /proc/pci, but I don't know what as, look for something unkown or by lucent, or that somehow resembles a modem). As for kernel compatiblity, the 2.2.12 module should work with 2.2.13 if you use insmod -f, the symbols shouldn't have changed, as 2.2 has been quite stable (I was able to load the module, but I didn't have the PCI modem, so it couldn't grab the resources).
