hey.....i'm having a MT882 SMARTAX modem and i need to configure my broadband connection (VIA USB) I have read some posts related to problems activating xdsl connection using modem via USB........but i cud'nt really figure out any good solution to it!!!!
any body who has gone through the same prob can easily get it.....i have activated my eth0 (globespanvirata smartAX mt882) but i cannot just activate broadband.....automatically obtain ip address does not really works.....n i think i'll need to statically enter ip adress, subnet amsk n gateway!!! i've even tried that but i get n activation error
/usr/sbin/adsl -start line 217:3424 terminated $ connect "$@" >/dev/null
2>&1
i cannot figure out anything!!!! i know someone must have faced dis problem b4 ..... but the solution lies in working with least available than making it all via ethernet card.......that perhaps is the last option i have!!!!! do u have any better options to dis????

how is your broadband configured is it a pppoe or directly configured in your router

how is your broadband configured is it through pppoe or configured directly in your router and which distro are you using

its ppp0e........i think d problem lies in installing linux usb driver on fedora??? i have got a router cd...which has come with a driver on it .......if any one has installed usb driver in linux b4???
plzz put the commands to do that.....hopefully that will help!!

yah i had the same globespanvirata usb adsl modem given by airtel broadband and it had a linux driver in the cd. i just installed it and configured the vci, vp, ATM settings and then configured the pppoe in kppp and had my broadband connection up and working. first get your settings for adsl from your service provider or note down the settings from windows in control panel -> adsl settings. if you don't have the linux drivers in your cd you can search in google and download it in windows. or it's better to call the service provider help if you don't know to setup the adsl connection. by the way what version fedora u r using

The problem lies in the installation of USB drivers for linux fedora 7
i have a cd which came with my modem...it had linux driver (usb) for
MT882
i tried the installation following user guide but it failed when i went for make all in terminal!
i guess their is a problem with the USB driver i'm trying to install and the kernel......does any one have USB driver for linux
(MT882)
i have googled out but did'nt actually got a free downlaod!!!!
so if sum 1 can???

Fedora has excellent usb driver support built in only you have to figure out which one fits your device. first post the output of lsusb & dmesg this will show your device status in fedora. did you compile the driver before doing make, if so do you pass and extra options to compile. you can find the extra compiling options by typing ./configure --help and post the error you get while compiling and making. by the way who is your internet service provider.

thats the output of make all that i did during installation of USB driver frm cd

http://rapidshare.com/files/67318828/output.txt.html
thats when i did lsusb and dmesg!!!
hope if someone configures the problem!!!! bcoz m not able to do so!!

i have configured my DNS settings on windows, ip, sub and gateway!!
made eth0 active on fedora! but i guess there is some prob with the DNS address i have provided! does anyone knows correct dns settings for broadband?
my DNS section in networkconfig (fedora) is still empty!
so.....is the prob with DNS???

i configured it this way on windows........

it seems you are using bsnl dataone. bsnl never gives any router with usb connection. did you see properly is there any RJ45 ethernet port in the router and have you connected it to your computer's ethernet port. if you have ethernet port on both your computer & router forget about the usb option and disconnect the usb cable from your computer. regarding DNS you cannot give the DNS address if you're using PPPoE type connection bcoz when you dialup the ppp connection it will automatically assign the DNS and routes. Just plug your router's ethernet cable to your computer's ethernet port and goto terminal and type system-config-network or open system->administration->network and click the ethernet interface displayed there(eth0) and click edit and give it a static ip viz 192.168.1.2 or 3 and in gateway give 192.168.1.1 and save the settings. goto terminal and as superuser type pppoe-setup
and give your username and password given by dataone and leave the rest blank if you don't know. and start the ppp connection by typing pppoe-start. if every things goes fine you will be connected to internet. but remember there is a problem with fedora and pppoe, i tried a lot and later configured the pppoe connection in the routeritself. i you feel any difficulty in setting up ppp it is always better to call your local bsnl office and have the settings done in router itself and just plug your router and start browsing.

yes i have tat ethernet part on my router but i don't have the ethernet card in my pc!!!! so i was trying to do it all via usb!!! but now i guess its tedious to do all that way n i must go for ethernet card!!!!

Don't worry if you don't have ethernet port in your system. now you have eth0 displayed in your system so your router is installed and is working fine, all you need is to setup the pppoe in your fedora system. forget about dns and all other stuff as pppoe itself will take care of these things when it dials up. so try to bring the eth0 active by going to system->administration->network and just add the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, if it fails just give the option to assign the ip by dhcp. pls do not try to give any dns as in windows bcoz linux will try to resolve the dns while starting and it will fail on pppoe. after doing all these things open your browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar it will ask for user name and password give "admin" as both username & password and it will show up your router configuration page, if it shows up then you have setup your network succesfully. now start to setup pppoe by typing pppoe-start in terminal and give your username and password given by bsnl. after setting up pppoe you can start pppoe by typing pppoe-start and start browsing.
