getting a usb modem to work on knoppix

**bulio** · 07-06-2004

Hi guys,

I have version 3.3 of knoppix (on a bootable disc) and I have noticed that I new version of knoppix is out. I have a speedstream 5200 adsl modem with usb cabe and ethernet, but since I have no ethernet port I use the usb connection. Is there any way to configure the modem so it will run in knoppix?

I have tried the knoppix noapic cheatcode and it didn't work. Can anyone let me know if they know a way?

thx

the modem should junt run on it's own' however you need to comfigure rp-ppoe to make the connection to the service ... and that is done with the command

Code:

adsl-setup
adsl-start

and that is if knoppix installed the support for usb....if it didnt i suggest first plugging in everything that you want to use then booting up KNOPPIX and it should auto detect it.

thanks, I was using adsl setup in knoppix, which would only detect ethernet modems. I will try this out. thanks

unfortunetly, the commands didn't work and were not recognized in the knoppix shell.
