(Caveat:- I have not this version of router from MTNL / BSNL, but have used USB cable modems. Did you try plugging it in?) 1. as root, say ``modprobe cdc-ether'' 2. Immediately after, say ``demsg'', and read the output. THEre should be something about a device being created in in /dev/ . If it is not /dev/eth0, please get back to this list with the following info:- (with the modem plugged in) ``lsusb -v '' ``lsmod |grep usb'' ``uname -r'' If the usb device is bound to eth0, then you can follow the instructions in my earlier mail. > by PC Quest.

I hate plugging for any particular distro, but since you seem to be a newbie, why don't you try ubuntu? (I do not use ubuntu because it TOO EASY to use - err.. because I love debian better). Even a proper latest version of Fedora Core may help. -- Mahesh T.
