Hello, I'm really new to Linux and have just installed OpenSuse 10.1. Most of it seems to be working OK, but I can't get connected with my USB DSL modem. It's a Sagem eagle chipset based modem and I'm trying to connect to Tiscali broadband in the UK. I've installed the modem drivers and they seem to be working OK - the modem lights come on and the /var/log/messages entry seems OK (but i might not be interpreting it correctly). The KInternet log says this: SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.59 on linux-ts86. Status is: disconnected trying to connect to smpppd connect to smpppd Status is: disconnected Status is: lurking pppd[0]: Plugin pppoatm.so loaded. pppd[0]: PPPoATM plugin_init pppd[0]: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded. pppd[0]: PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:0.38 pppd[0]: Renamed interface ppp0 to dsl0 pppd[0]: Using interface dsl0 Status is: lurking pppd[0]: Couldn't increase MTU to 1500 pppd[0]: Couldn't set up demand-dialled PPP interface: Inappropriate ioctl for device Status is: lurking Status is: disconnected pppd[0] died: Fatal pppd error (exit code 1) Does this give anyone a clue to what might be wrong? Do you need any other information? -- -- With best regards, Derek Carr, Birmingham, UK http://alldruid.co.uk/
