Indeed...

  It seems the non existing reference, might come from the fact my
southbridge chip, ( nForce ), is not being recognized by the driver
package.

  However, the README shows there is a way for this nForce chip to be
taken in charge, should be to recompile my kernel with modem
capabilities, then compile with the ALSA parameter activated.

  Don't mind whether or not, an USB modem could work this way, it's a
bet for me.

  Also, I don't know whether or not, my kernel might already be
compiled, with modem capabilities... :)

  I fully hesitate for the moment...

  Thank you very much for your help.
