Yes, as I said above, those sections still need work. That's why this

Yes, I used the wiki information to write the ndiswrapper section, and
we can do the same for the modem section. It's quite difficult because
there are so many models of modem, and really difficult to confirm
whether the instructions for each of them are accurate.

This is a wireless chip right? I'm not completely sure about whether we
can document individual wireless chips, because (a) it's quite hard for
the user to find out what chip they have (as far as I know), and (b) the
information we have available is vast and probably not particularly
accurate (https:/
generally a universal fix, which is why I included that.
