DSL on Mandrake 10.1 - hardware problem?


Hi,
I am desperately trying to get my DSL connection work under Mandrake 10.1.
I`ve tried with rp-pppoe, following a Howto that suggests I try via a "fake" LAN connection.
Mandrake correctly identifies my Ethernet card as RTL-8139.
But when I type pppoe -I eth0 -A or pppoe -T20 -I eth0 -D pppoe.log > /dev/null I get the error message "pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets" and the connection fails.

I`ve followed other online suggestions, trying to connect via ADSL over ethernet or ATM (using ppp-pppoatm etc.) but nothing has succeeded so far.

Could this be a hardware problem? I am trying to connect via the AR400 by CastleNet Technologies, it is shown as a "Conexant USB Network Adapter" under WinXP.
Mandrake shows is as an unknown device USB Net Card; Bus: USB, BUS PCI #1, Vendor ID: 1394, Device ID: 51969.

Do I need a special driver for this device? Are there RPMs I need to install for this (I prefer RPMs if they exist as I am not very firm with shell commands.)
What else could be the problem?

I`d be really grateful for any help/advice/useful links!!
Regards,
Kathy

This looks hard. Usefull link: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/

The 0572:cb01 chipset is one of the ones listed http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/modems.shtml that Roman Kagan is working on supporting. I don't have any experience with this modem, but I think you will need to install the drivers for the modem and get them to load the firmware into the modem. Then, to use pppoe you will (probably) need the br2684 bridging utility http://home.regit.org/br2684.html and use it with ifconfig to create a bridge between the atm and ethernet interfaces. Then you run pppd. Like I said, this looks hard. Ask on the mailing list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...runner-general and you will get the attention of people who know more than me
