hi..i've recently installed SuSe 9.2 and after much searching downloaded and installed driver for my Sagem Fast800 dsl usb modem which works fine but have to reinstall driver EVERY time i boot the system, doesn't seem to 'hold' the driver for modem after a shutdown..any ideas? compiling driver is no problem but surely not EVERY time i switch the pc on??!

I think the problem you are having has something to do with modprobe, not drivers. When you know that your usb modem is working, do "lsmod | less" and look for a module name that is similar to dsl-modem or anything that looks like your modem. If you find it, make sure to add this /etc/modprobe.conf so that your system will load it during the next bootup. I really do not think that you need to reinstall it every time you boot, instead you can use "modprobe modulename" to load it on-the-fly. I am not on a linux machine, so please read man modprobe for better syntax and better ideas.

thanks for ur help, all is working ok now
