How I got ADSL working:
1) go to your external adsl box and shut it down. then turn it on.
2) start linux, and wish "Bringing up eth0... [Done]" happens
3) Enjoy!
Works with SOT Linux, Mandrake 8.1 < and RedHat 7.3 <, wich are connected via ethernet card (3com) to external Nokia ADSL/Cable box.
Didn't work with Slackware.
Other thing worth checking is do you have DHCP, and how's you service provider acting.
when i run the network wizard i set it to auto IP (as in windows) and when it say "Network must be restarted", it hangs for about 2 mins and then says finshed, will now apply changes.
i click on Apply or OK it then hangs for another 2 mins, i start up Konquerer and it cant connect
my housemate can get it to work running through the same LAN.
but he has a different NIC.
i tried modprobe, insmod, lsmod etc and it detects the card fine.
