Hello,
I'm new user of linux... I activated a Linux Mandrake v9.1 (Also I served it with togather WindowsXP)
I'm using USB connection ADSL (Mercury) Modem.
Linux can not find the modem...

How can I solve my problem?

Thank You...

linux is a pita with usb modem drivers, i had a 105 bt voyger or something with cough, cough, bl*** aol i never got it working, however you may enjoy more luck download ndiswrapper from:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

and use your windows drivers.

Hallo

I've been using this http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ for years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

Eventually, I bought a modem router. It always works. Easy. Simple.

Have a lot of fun

buy an ethernet rooter with an inbuilt ADSL moden

USB modens dont work well with linux and if you get it working it will never work as well as it did in windows

you will need to make shoure that linuxs sees your ethernet card with is usually fine. The advantage with this is that you can wire up lots of computers and shear the net connection with as many computers as you like with no extra cost to you internet bill and tend to be more stabler than USB modems and the like. make shoure that your rooter has an in built ADSL modem


if you need dail up the a serial modem will do that job rember
that they are all hardware modems with an easy interface that is easy for linux and windows to command

the reasion for these silly USB modems and many if not all PCI cards is that they use computer programs to take a way electronic hardware that cost the consuma letting the computer doing some of the work and tend to be smaller to and cheeper [ some times they may say hardware moden PCI or USB, just egnore them ] often called
winmodems






here are such models UK web site.
