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. > For a new Ubuntu / Linux user, it is extremely hard to enable networking > when all the documentation is presented online, not offline...

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://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs). Ndiswrapper is generally a universal fix, which is why I included that.
