Installing the rpm won't suffice. U'll have to run sm56setup script in order to actually insert the driver module into the kernel. A fairly decent guide is given in *man sm56* (without stars). I'm assuming that u've not run the aforementioned script. If u've already run the script, then in all probability, u're trying to connect to the net while being logged in as a normal user. Either login as a root or issue *su root* at the command prompt and then when prompted type in the password. Then try to dial-up. Another reason cud be an earlier than 2.4.x kernel version. SM56 driver in Linux _do not_ work with earlier versions. To check which kernel version u have type *uname -r* at the command prompt and see the output. > please help me out Hope this helps.
