[Tutorial] Configuring an Always On DataOne on gnu/Linux

[adithyagenius]

my eth0:avah is up by default on install or on live CD boot. So I up eth0 (not avah) and it does get up. My wiring is fine because windows xp and vista dont have a problem. I find this mess wierd because I didnt have problem with fedora 5 & 6. Fedora 6 was my first linux and I didnt need any help from anyone for configuring bridged dataone connection on it. I was expecting later versions to be easier with better drivers support and hardware detection.

I recently bought Netgear DG834G wireless adsl modem cum router. I m using Linux Mint 3.0 on my laptop.

Mint required no configuration at all! My wifi netwrk was detected immediately n I just had to enter my security key (WPA-PSK). Dat is it! I cud access internet (Dataone Broadband) immediately without havin to do any configuration.

So config. atleast in some areas wit Linux seems to b easier den doing it in XP.

Sometimes, a Rs. ~150 for a LAN Card is an easier way out of things.

Can any one tell me how to reset my Huawai SmartAx MT880 modem to factory defaults. Actually i can't access it by 192.168.1.1. If I type 198.162.1.1 it asks for login and password, both of which I put in as "admin". But I still can't login. I think resetting it will solve my problem.
BTW, keeping the reset button pressed is not helping. Even though the modem restarts it is not being reset since I still can't login with the default address
If the reset button is broken can I find out the address of my router(192.168.1.1 is not working). ifconfig command gave:
