Yup!
That's the card that I use on my system, both when I had Mandrake

I have an Actiontec PCI modem the directions for installing it in Linux can
be found at www.actiontec.com/support/modems/cwifag.html . As long as yours
is a hardware based modem you should be able to install it the same way.
Another thing you should also check if you are using Kppp is the
