Dear Suse Linux Programming members:
Since I could not find a more appropriate Suse email discussion group I am writing here.
I wish to instal Suse Linux (Persoanal or Professional), and I have a major problem: I want to access the Internet using a Cable Modem (Motorola SurfBoard SB4100), however I cannot find it in the list of Suse Linux supported hardware. I assuem there is a (Suse) Linux driver for this equipment. Please, advise: 1) Where may I find this driver, or/and 2) How can I use suse Linux with my Cable Modem ?
With thanks, Emil Marcus bdonau@yahoo.com

Hi Emil,
I have the same cable-modem and although the machine connected to it at present runs RedHat, it used to have SuSe 8.1 (Personal) installed many moons ago. Things worked right out of the box after some tweaking and net-configuring. Ah yes, one thing, The SB4100 can be connected either to your USB or ethernet jack. I used the ethernet. This is reasonably fast and was much easier to get working (smile).
Cheers
Wolf

=============
As Wolf already mentioned, it's just a basic install the Linux and off you go! If you are dhcp to your service, then there is nothing to do but tell it so and things will work for you. As Wolf mentioned also, use the ethernet connection and not USB, because usb just doesn't seem reliable to these things and is infinitely more difficult to connect up too.
Usually the best thing to do is connect those things you expect to use on the machine before installing and let SuSE take care of the rest!

In the future please post such questions on suse-linux@suse.com . This mailing list, as the name implies, is for discussing things related to programming on Linux. Anything else is off topic here.

You'll want Suse-linux-e@suse.com for the English speaking list.
