If this is the part I think it is -- the 3COM miniPCI combo LAN and winmodem -- the modem will not work under Linux. The "modem" is a winmodem that contains intellectual property from USR that they will not unveil -- and they won't release any specs on it. This card has been around for a while and several people have tried to get 3COM and USR to be more forthcoming, but without success.
