Thanks, but I connected my DSL ethernet modem to my access point; after I configured my NIC ethX (ex.) to setup DSL connection ... after I change the config. file and instead ethX I put in wlan0 (ex.). I already made it since Rehat or Mandrake ... with Suse is impossible (I hope no!). YAST DSL module configure my NIC (eth0) for the first time and when I try to change into IFCFG-DSL0 with "wlan0" .... brrrrr. So what I made before with other distribution is possible .... now I'd like make it with Super Suse. Thanks Andrea Il gio, 2004-01-01 alle 19:45, Hartmut Meyer ha scritto:

I discovered that Suse named wireless NIC wlanX instead ethX. This it's ok but the problem is that DSL YAST module doesn't give me the possibility to choose it. With Any other distribution is possible to use wireless PCMCIA to use DSL connections.
I think you're mixing things up. At least I'm not aware of any DSL modem that is connected via wlan to the computer. Of course their are plenty of those router devices that have a built-in DSL modem. However, the computer that gets connected to such a device (either normal ethernet or wlan) will not see any DSL specific thing. Therefore there is no need to configure PPPoE or PPPoA on your computer.
All you need to do is to configure your NIC with a default route to your router. The DSL specific stuff is done within this DSL router.
