I'm not positive, being somewhat of a newbie myself, but I think that support for NIC's and modems is built into the Linux kernel, and most new, cutting-edge distros are going to be using the same, latest-greatest kernel. If I'm wrong, hopefully, one of the list gurus will jump in and correct me. On the 'linux' Yahoo list (Linux_Newbies is operated by the same people) there is a person having a similar problem with a D-Link modem. It could be that D-Link is just not very Linux-friendly. >>>>From what I have read, I have determined that I need to install a module >>>called 'sundance.o', it is supposed to initialize my NIC, but I can't Interesting... I think the person with the D-Link modem problem mentioned this module in reference to his difficulties, too. He had it successfully installed, but it still did not help. You might want to join the 'linux' list as well, and check out the 'internal modems' thread. I'm subscribed to both lists, so I don't miss anything. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . ------------------------ Yahoo!
