Hi,

I'm trying to get my USB ADSL Modem (Billion BIPAC 7000) to work. Tried it with a stinking OS and it works.

I have Suse 9.0, installed the generic linux driver from the Billion home page.

The modem doesn't connect to the access concentrator.

Here's some log info...

Thanks

martinl;check out http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HARDWARE-HOWTO/index.html
modem compatibility supported, nonsupported, also usb devices. these are
now just beginning to be supported.

Hi Martinsl,


I have the same device and compiled the generic driver for SuSE 8.2 since it did not want to compile with kernel 2.6. The network device hsb0 is up but the dialup does not work.

Did you make any progress yourself?
