    I'm wondering what kind of modem is built into the M6811. According to the built-in drivers it's a PCI conexant. However, when I run the conexant listmodem utility the output is:

    MODEM #1:
    PCI CONFIGURATION INFORMATION READ:
    VENDOR ID : 1106
    DEVICE ID : 3068
    SUBVENDOR ID : 161F
    SUBDEVICE ID : 2032
    REVISION ID : 80

    DEDUCED INFORMATION:
    VENDOR NAME : VIA
    DEVICE NAME : VIA (AC '97 MODEM)
    SUBVENDOR NAME : UNKNOWN
    MODEM TYPE : UNKNOWN
    WINXP INBUILD SUPPORT : NO

    Where the 1106 vendor is not condidered to be conexant. The e4all site

    http://www.e4allinc.info/dir1/motherboards/laptops/arima_W730_K8_downloads.htm

    suggests SmartLink as modem. Who know the answer?

    VIA produces the motherboard, and the modem is integrated into the motherboard.
