Conexant AccessRunner DSL USB
I recently installed Mandrake 9.1 and it doesnt recognise my modem, i found drivers for it on sourceforge (its an eTEC USB DSL modem using the conexant PT-3806 chipset)
here is the site: sourceforge.net/projects/accessrunner my probelm.....im a n00b....the drivers are complicated to install and i aint got a clue....all the guides and stuff are for Mandrake 9.1 and for PPPoA which is what i need....but they're all in Spanish....:mad: the software translations on they're projects website (accessrunner.sourceforge.net) are awful..... does ne1 here have a USB modem like mine or with the same chipset and know wot they're doing??.....some help installing would be very very nice....i wanna be able to use the net in Linux.... |
Hello Stephan,
I have the same problem as u do...PLease let me know if you figure out a solution...plzzz !!! Thanks, Athen |
I have excatly the same problem too lol
|
Hmmm, yes it is particularly nasty.
Does this modem have an ethernet connection? If so, connect a network cable from it to your pc and run it that way. Should give you less problems and is unlikely to need a driver. |
Darn....It doesn't have an ethernet connection....I managed to find some drivers for it...But it says
"I HAVE FOUND AN ADSL USB MODEM. Ver=xxx Model=xxx" But it has some problems with establishing a link.... Too bad... Cheers, Athen :newbie: |
I had a look at the forums. It looks as though most have used the tarball rather than the rpm files. It may help you to look at the forums too - they are here. The source tarball will have the most options:
download it unzip it (either in console or browser) open a console (if not already opened) cd to the directory you just unzipped run ./configure && make && make install as root follow any instructions Post back if you hit any problems. |

Where abouts did you find the drivers for it? From that link posted further up?
