Hi All,
I'm trying to get my Mother's ADSL USB Router to work on CentOS 4-3. I see the device in Hardware Browser/System devices but nowhere in Network Configuration is it an option. I even tried New/xDSL but it doesn't appear as an option there either. Any suggestions for this? Cheers.

USB, as I mentioned. Cheers.
According to http://whirlpool.net.au/index.cfm?a=h_view&model_id=278 this modem has (Ethernet) LAN connectivity. Using the Ethernet port to connect to the net will probably save you a lot of time.

Hi All,
Daniel, tnx for that. I should have added, though, that I already have another machine using the Ethernet connection, and wish to run a 2nd PC from the USB for now as I'm not anywhere close to a place where I can buy a small switching hub and need to transfer some large data from one to the other. Cheers.

Wow. Bad idea.
You should use either the ethernet connection OR the USB connection of the modem. Connecting one computer to each interface spells trouble.
Why don't you just connect one computer to the other using a crossover ethernet cabe ?

Now have XP(Desktop) and Laptop(Linux) connected to either interface, and they are both working fine.

Well, at the moment, I don't have either a Hub/Switch or Cross-over cable, otherwise I woulda done it by now. Thanx for the suggestion, though. Cheers.
