2Wire PC Port Phoneline 10-Mbps USB Adapter?

yuhnstuff · 07-21-2003, 05:56 PM

is it possible to get the 2Wire PC Port Phoneline 10-Mbps USB Adapter to work under Mandrake 9.1? are there any open drivers to make it work? and if so how would i configure them? i am connected through sbc's home portal network... i just recently installed linux Mandrake and dual booting with win2k pro and i am still learning. I would love to switch over to a full linux box but i need to be able to connect to the network for my DSL, please help me. thank you

same problem here, but in my case, i'm the host, the modem connects directly to my ethernet card and I still dont know how to configure it to work on my Mandrake 9.1

I'm having a similar problem right now too. I have a usb Shark pocket ethernet adapter, and I'm trying to connect to my Netgear router.

Mandrake 9.1 recognizes the card and has a driver for it, but when I try to set up the network in the Mandrake Control Center, it can't detect anything. I have no clue as to modifying the boot code, and am not even sure it would do any good if I started messing with it. It seems like the card should be supported since Mandrake detected it...

I can ping myself (127.0.0.1) but I can't ping the router. I'm guessing there is some dhcp configuration I'm missing.

LMAO......I wish I was the one directly connected to modem via ethernet. It'd be so easy. Redhat broadband is configured to use ethernet by default...

I'm having the same problem with BLAG. I have bellsouth DSL and i've recently installed BLAG on my system. When i attatch the 2wire modem BLAG recognizes it but when i try to connect to the internet i cant connect. I'm not sure whether i'm missing the correct drivers or not configuring the PC portal correctly.. can anyone help?
thanks
