Hello,
I'm trying to get my DSL connection to work under Mandrake 7, and am having
some troubles. If anyone has any insight, I would be very grateful.
Pertinant details are below. Thanks for any help you can provide,
ian
The gist: I have a Cisco 605 Internal DSL modem. I guess it's technically a
bridged ethernet router, but they call it a modem anyways. When linux boots,
the light on the card never comes on, leading me to believe the device is
never recognized. I have a static IP from my ISP and USWest, and under
windows, TCP/IP is the only protocol installed.
The Mandrake installation process seems to have tried to deem it an isdn
device, as looking at the bootlog gives a lot of isdn4linux issues. Under
netcfg, I tried to create an entry for eth0, which netcfg has no problems
with, but error messages under boot-up and shutdown indicate that "no ne
device found".
If I 'cat /proc/net/dev' the only network device is loopback.
Under Windows 98 (hopefully I'm not committing faux pas by mentioning it),
the modem/router appears as following:
PCI ADSL Adapter Driver for 1483 Bridging
IRQ = 11
I/O Range = 1400 - 14FF
Looking under KDE Control Center -> Information -> PCI, I get the following
info for my modem, which leads me to believe that linux at least knows about
it:
Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
ATM network controller, unknown vendor, unknown device(rev 1).
vendor id=12ce. Device id=1.
Slow devsel, Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11.
Master capable latency = 64. Min Gnt = 5. Max Lat = 21
I/O at 0x1800 [0x1801]
Non-prefetchable memory at <long memory string>
As I've probably already demonstrated, I'm a bit out of my league trying to
figure out next steps. If anyone has any thoughts or insights, I'd be
forever grateful. If all else fails, I can always buy an external DSL modem
and then hook in with my 3com nic, but I'd hate to have to spend another
$150 to achieve the same functionality. Thanks for reading,
ian
