Code:
root@slack~# dhclient eth0
All you have to do is set up the network card for DCHP and the actiontec should sent it the proper settings to connect. You can also run the netconfig utility as root and select DHCP. This is assuming that you haven't changed the settings on the actiontec, but if you knew what to change on the DSL device then you would probably already know what settings to add to Linux so I'm guessing it's set the way it came from qwest.

If you can't get it running and post again, please post the results of these commands run as root:

lsmod
lspci
ifconfig -a
ping -c 4 127.0.0.1
ping -c 4 192.168.0.1

lsmod should be a small enough list you could write it down, the important part in lspci is the section(s) for Ethernet Controller and in ifconfig, for now, the relevant part is whether you just have a lo section or an eth0 or even eth1 section also. You can also redirect the output to a text file and copy that onto your windows partition or a floppy:
Code:
root@darkstar:~# lspci > may_lspci.txt
