I’m thinking to install a USB ASDL modem to my Linux box, but I have at the moment only a Redhat 9.0 driver in RPM. Can I use this for my Fedora Core 2?
I’m using a Billion Bipac-7000 ADSL modem?
If somebody has more information about this modem or knows where I can find the right driver(s) then I would be very grateful…..
I have a file what called USBNET_E2_LINUX_062802_REL1.7.tar.gz.
The readme:
First, uncompressing the packaged: USBNET_E2_LINUX_062802_REL1.7.tar.gz
#tar zxvpf USBNET_E2_LINUX_062802_REL1.7.tar.gz
A directory named e2 will be created under current directory.
Second, Changing directory to the "e2" directory.
#cd e2
Third, compiling the source code.
#make
At last, copy the firmware file "CnxE2Fw.bin" to directory "/etc".
#cp CnxE2Fw.bin /etc/CnxE2Fw.bin
Now, you can install the driver by the command below under current directory:
#insmod e2.o
If you would like to installing driver anywhere else, Please copy the e2.o to
the directory: /lib/modules/2.4.xx-xxx/kernel/drivers/usb first.
If the network doesn't up automatically, you must run the following commands to activate the net adapter.
#ifconfig hsb0 up
#dhcpcd -n hsb0
Upgrade the firmware:
Replace the firmware file "/etc/CnxE2Fw.bin" with the new release. Note that the file
name must be case sensitive.
It sounds easy...I have not that much trust in easy things in Linux therefore I wanted to ask if somebody has experience with this?
