USB DSL modem installation

Pog · 09-08-2002, 04:50 AM

I am running RedHat 7.3 I am trying to install a Fujitsu dsl modem and have obtained a driver in RPM format. However I am not sure how to install this so that I can select it from the add new device option.
Maybe a simple question but one I can't find the answer too!!

Search around the site where you obtained the driver to get install
instructions.Where did you get it?

Ignore them, go to command prompt as root, cd to where the RPM is and run:

rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

Where filename.rpm is the filename

who is your provider?
Red Hat 7.3 comes with kernel 2.4.18. I strongly suggest upgrading to 2.4.19. The USB support is superb compared with 2.4.19, and chances are your USB modem will work better.

Ignore what?
That's fine for installing the RPM but there's usually a bit more involved than just that

when you're trying to get a USB device working in linux.
