I'm on Fedora Core 3, and there's a tool called system-config-network which I used to get wlan0 up and running. I use a Linksys WUSB54G Adapter, and I downloaded the XP drivers from Linksys.com, used ndiswrapper, and now wlan0 is active. ndiswrapper -l tells me Now I need to configure xDSL. I have a DSL Internet connection, my ISP being Verizon. I am unsure as to what information I am supposed to get in order to configure DSL (Digital Subscriber Line, not Damn Small Linux).

Here are the results of a failed attempt at activating a no-doubt falsely configured ppp0 (it calls DSL interfaces ppp - is that correct?):

Are you connected to a DSL modem? Router? Do you use 'PPPoE'? (If you're not sure about this, then your provider probably provided a CD for windows containing a program called 'WinPOET') Tell us more about your setup, please.

DSL interfaces are called ppp if they use pppoe. (Physical ethernet, protocol is ppp)

It's PPPoE, I'm sure.

I have a Linksys Adapter on my computer. This wireless receives a signal from a Linksys Router, which is directly connected to my DSL modem. Verizon is my ISP.

So it goes like this: Computer < Adapter < Router < Modem.

In that case, you won't need to configure it as a DSL connection on your linux box. Either the modem or the router will be handling all the PPPoE-ness of the connection. You should be able to get by just with a standard "LAN"-style setup.

What do you mean "the standard LAN setup"?

I already set up my wireless LAN, but the automatic DHCP configuration is not working, even though DHCP is enabled on my settings. What else must I do to get the internet to work?

Is your router set as a DHCP server? Are you connected with the router with no problem?

Under Fedora, my wlan0 is 'active'. I'm assuming that this means everything is configured properly.

I just realized something! My router calls itself a PPPoE, not an automatic DHCP configuration! But DHCP is enabled, it says. The options are as follows:

• Automatic Configuration - DHCP
• PPPoE
• PPTP
• HeartBeat Signal
• Static IP

Mine is set to PPPoE.

Let me show my configuration screen:

Should I change it to DHCP, and if so, will I end up destroying the current wlan0 setup? What should I do now?

Your router should be set to PPPoE. Your DHCP server seems to be enabled, so all you should need is a DHCP client under Fedora. Please post the output of the 'iwconfig' and 'ifconfig -a' commands.

ifconfig -a:
iwconfig:

Your problem here (as shown in iwconfig) is that your wireless card has not associated with your AP. So you're going to want to go back and take a look at that first.

How would I solve this problem? I am unsure as to how to do it.

You'll need to go back through your network config to get the wireless working first.

It isn't working?

Under system-config-network, it says the device wlan0 is active, and wlan is the wireless-lan. Do I need to reconfigure it, and if so, how?

You can see that, in the output of iwconfig, it's not associated with any access point. Do you use WEP, WPA, or None of the Above?

I use WEP. I already know the channel, mode, SSID, rate, and WEP key.

I don't know what WPA is, and I don't know what an AP is (access point, but no more than that).
