Linux + USB Adsl Internet

[mediator]

Hi,
I am having a tough time connecting to internet via USB/ADSL internet. I want to connect the knoppix and fedora box via USB to internet.

Thanx in advance!

Well, I have been trying to tackle the same problem for the past months with no results... USB modems jus lack the support it shud have... better get a NIC and do the work hassle-free... btw, whats the modem name/model? that might help for an answer perhaps...

well I have d-link 5200 modem that mtnl provides.It has one slot for ethernet and one for USB and I have NIC but i want the *nix department to work with both ethernet and usb like windows so that i can connect 2 pcs at the same time both on *nix!

Get another NIC. One for your modem and another one for the network. They are too cheap these days. If you want support for USB modems then annoy the hardware manufacturers. Ask them to either release source of their drivers or to release drivers for *nix.
