Hello, I finally got the Aztech ADSL USB Modem working in my system. I am now sending this mail through the ADSL connection from my home. I am writing the steps I followed for the information of others who may be interested.
1. The driver eagle-usb is not supported anymore after August 2006. Instead, we now have the driver ueagle-atm driver built-in with kernel 2.6.15 and later. (See http://atm.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=NewsEn200608EagleUsbNotSupported and http://atm.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=PagePrincipaleEn) 2. Download the driver file ueagle-data-1.1.tar.gz from http://eagle-usb.org/ueagle-atm/non-free/ueagle-data-1.1.tar.gz 3. Check that the ueagle-atm module is compiled and loaded. You should have the files ueagle-atm.ko under the directory /lib/modules/2.6.16.27-0.9-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/atm/. You have to substitute 2.6.12.27-0.9-smp by the kernel that you are using. You can get the kernel details by the command 'uname -r' in the terminal window. 4. Opensuse 10.1 does not have the firmware for ueagle-atm and this has to be loaded as per the steps given below. 5. Copy the ueagle-data-1.1.tar.gz in your root directory. 6. In a terminal window in the root directory give the command 'tar xzf ueagle-data-1.1.tar.gz 7. Then issue the command 'cd /eagle-data-1.1' 8. Give command 'mkdir /lib/firmware/ueagle-atm' to create the directory for the firmware. 9. Copy the firmware by the command 'cp -a * /lib/firmware/ueagle-atm/' 10. Type "kedit /etc/ppp/peers/ueagle-atm". It will open a new file. 11. Copy the following : user "username" plugin pppoatm.so 0.32 noipdefault usepeerdns defaultroute persist noauth 12. Open YAST and click on DSL under network devices. 13. Click Add 14. In the next window, select 'PPP over ATM' 15. Under VPI/VC enter '0.50' 16. Select 'At Boot Time' for device activation and check the user controlled box 17. Click Next, and select 'custom providers'. Select new to enter the details of the ISP. 18. Give any name for the provided (in my case 'etisalat'). Enter your username and password and uncheck the 'Always ask for password' box'. Click next and YAST will save the connection. Please note the device name for the dsl connection. 19. Use 'Kinternet' and after selecting the dsl device (dsl0 in my case) and the service provided (etisalat), click dialin. You are connected to the net.
