question regarding modem installation on laptop

[alok khemka]

hi, i was trying to configure my modem on my laptop (dell inspiron 8200) but 
was not able to determine what exactly to do. i don;t know for sure whether 
my modem is a winmodem or not. the "lspci" shows that the chipset is intel 
8086:2486(probably) at irq:11 and i/o 0xd400 & 0xdc00. the manufacturer of 
the modem id "Actiontec". do i need to find an appropriate driver for that 
or it's bundled with the kernel itself???
