Hy!
I have KASDA KD318MUI USB ADSL router! I'm running RedHat 8.0 on my P4 machine (1800 Mhz, 1024Mb Ram, GeforceFX 5600..). I can't get it to work, drivers provided with cd that came along with the router are only for windows, but readme says that they have linux support, then i tryed to find their web site, did found it, but no drivers section, terrible support i must say!
Only thing i have left is to ask you for some help, please help, i want to get rid of windows!

Do lsusb and find the ID numbers for the device, eg 0163:5541

Then do a Google search for the id numbers..

And how are you fixing the kernel bugs and other security bugs in RH8?

Thanks, i'll give it a try!
I'm plan to install new kernel into RedHat 8, but if that fails, i'll just download new version of the OS, can you recomend any?

I have found that to keep a firewall for a long time, you need to have an OS that ages slowly, eg Debian, or not at all, eg Gentoo.. Or make one yourself.
Some people are adding packages to Smoothwall, but it's internal structure is quite radical and hard to maintain.

Debian makes updates easy, but some nice versions of packages, eg dansguardian with av patches, only come in the testing version, not stable. This requires building some packages from scratch, most notably the kernel, iptables and any modules built against the kernel, eg dsl, usb and some weird hardware.

The big problem is what to do when the os version is upgraded. Can it be done remotely and reliably. I have played with separate partitions for old and new versions, with upgrading Smoothwall manually, Debian, RedHat and Slackware.
And have moved to Gentoo. It's not the fastest to issue security updates, but I have a modified version on a server in the office and build packages for the other firewalls and update with them. The key is to keep all the source code so patches can be applied and rebuilt quickly. And I know exactly what is happening with it.

Smoothwall would be the fastest one to download, install and get running. Nice gui too, most features, but a question remains about drivers for your usb dsl..
Debian is easier to maintain overall, but lacks the up to date packages..
Gentoo covers all bases, is slow on security updates and is quite manual.

Ok, i'we tryed searching google by device ID, didn't get any results, here's the output:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a5c:6300 Broadcom Corp.

Same here, what's on it's box/book to identify it?

Check on the KASDA site if this is the model you have..
http://kasda.manufacturer.globalsour...page_num-1.htm

or on www.kasda.com.cn/KD318MUI.htm

It looks like usb is an optional connection rather than setting it up with ip addresses on it's eth ports..

This is the model, but no drivers on the page?! KD318MUI

Looks like you'll need to email them and ask for usb drivers.

Can you just connect on ethernet with ip adresses, or do you need usb specially?

I need USB! I e-mail'ed them, but no reply yet!
