If you need it to work, and now, then you have two options:

i)	Remove it and replace with a IBM miniPCI card, and use the Lucent
	softmodem from ports (/usr/ports/comms/ltmdm), which works great (and so
	does the 'fxp' part on the card).

	The Linux drivers for the Conexant are BETA and buggy. There's no 
FreeBSD
	support AFAIK, although people were considering porting the Linux stuff.

	The Lucent part has no controller, but has a DSP. I've never looked back
	since replacing my $%@&%^ 3Com softmodem.

ii)	Use a PC-CARD for the modem.

No idea, sorry.

HTH.
