Tahnks for the tip, Bernard, but mine does not contain that hardware. 
lspci reports that it is a Lucent/Agere modem just like my 390e had. 
For wireless I have a Linksys WPC55AG cardbus card that MadWIFI
supports very well.

A year ago I temporarily had a T42 with a Contextant modem.  After I
had bought a license for Linuxant, someone pointed me toward the
slmodem, but it did not work.  I continued to use the Linuxant without
issue until I had to turn it back in.  :(  It had a builtin Atheros
chipset that MadWIFI supported very well.  All around nice machine, I
should get one of my own one day, but my T23 works very well.
