You should not need any "driver" for this under Linux. You have to find out how your DSL/ISP wants you to connect..whether it's via DHCP, PPPOE or if they are giving you a static ip. DSL modems are not the same as analog modems...you are just connecting through ethernet, so if your ethernet card is configured and your method of logging has been figured out .. then it should work. You should send us more info as to what ISP and what method of connecting your isp uses, then we can help you get it all squared away :) Cheers, * Adar Dembo (a@darr.com) [000728 18:13]:
I'm running SuSE 6.4, with GCC 2.95.2, on an HP P3-800 computer. My question is how to install my speedstream external USB modem in linux. The auto detect for modems didn't find it, and I heard that I need to recompile the kernel, or something like that. I'm a linux newbie, and I don't know much about kernel compilations, so I was wondering whether there is an easier way? None of the setup tools provided in SuSE 6.4 worked, and I couldn't find any specific drivers on Alcatel's website. Any other ideas?
