Hi All
I don't know of any adsl2 modems that just work in linux.
Any one know of any such modems for ADSL2 that play well with linux.
Any links to good sites, documentation etc
I have tried Netcomms NB5 which I could not get to work. ( i hope it wasn't
a fault with the modem)
The NB5 supposedly works with adsl1 & adsl2 & supposedly works with MacOS &
linux ... but no support documentation that I can find.
Never was a problem with adsl "one" .
I have been using an Alcatel "speed touch home" modem.
That just simply works with linux ...
& with factory defaults set.
Using Roaring Penquin software ....
rp-pppoe-3.5-32.1.i386.rpm
it is very simple to set up.
Just run "adsl-setup"
Only needs two config files needed for it to work:
chap-secrets & pppoe.conf as shown below.
Any help very much appreciated
Thx
Roger
