Vista - Windows Update Agere system PCI modem driver keep disappearing

I downloaded the Agere system pci modem driver in Windows and never had a
problem with driver but this month the agere system pci modem driver keep
disappearing and it's gone. I remove the driver and can't get the driver
using Windows Update. How do i download the driver again in Windows Update?

Could you please provide the hardwareIDs of the device?

start --> run --> devmgmt.msc [enter] --> device properties --> Details
Tab --> Hardware Ids

The full enumeration of this device is:

PCI\VEN_01C1&CC_0780
PCI\VEN_01C1
PCI\CC_078000
PCI\CC_0780

Where the additional hardwareIDs of this device are the compatibleIDs.

This device has never been supported by inbox drivers (shipping with
Windows), has never had a driver on Windows Update, and has never been
logo'd through the Microsoft Designed for Windows Program.

Did this modem come with your system? Or did you purchase the modem from a
retailer?

My advice? Chuck this device and purchase a new modem. Even if you find
drivers, the likelihood of them being signed and stable is low. Don't buy
the cheapest modem: Look for ones with the "Designed for Windows Vista"
logo on them.

The 56k modem was replace by bestbuy geeksquad in 2006. OKThe modem appeared
in device manager and it has drivers installed again it says it's working
correctly but i will replace it since it's been unstable for 2 days now.

Is this modem good enough?

For $10 more you get a USR modem:

There is often a very good reason for the adage "You get what you pay
for".
