Installing USB ADSL Modem on Mandrake10.0???

[sick_of_MS]

I have just installed Mandrake10 on my laptop, but can't get the Siemens ADSL10 USB Modem installed.
Yeah, I'know USB modems are rubish, but what can I do?

I just started with Linux, so I don't know much about this op-system.

How do I get linux to see the modem, or how do I install drivers? I downloaded some drivers that is supose to work, but I don't know how to install it. Linux is a bit different from Windows.

Could you run lsusb and post the output?

I'm new to Linux... I don't have a clue what you are asking!

Open a terminal (there should be a shortcut for a terminal in the panel at the bottom of your screen named konsole; if not, it will be in the start menu). Once you've got the terminal open, you can type

su

and hit enter. Give it your root (administrator) password that you set up during the installation process. Once you've done that, you can type in

lsusb

and hit enter; you can then copy and paste the output from that command into a post here.

Sorry it took so long.
It is the modem I'm using one PC that I'm trying to install on a laptop...

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0681:0019 Siemens Inf...

Does that mean anything to you?

Could you post the output of lsmod and lspci? It really is too bad if your router doesn't have the ability to use an ethernet cable...that would make everything so much easier

Does that make any sence?

I use an ordinary dial-up connection 56K USB Modem using ttyACM0
It works fine for me and I think it mighg work for ADSL also


I can provide info on setup if you think it's worth trying.
