Want to use USB for my dsl modem
I have recently bought the jetspeed520 adsl router and i want to use USB to connect it to my PC ( not ethernet ) under suse9.2 . I have googled to many sites and searched in many forums but i cant find something helpful. The manual has no reference to linux setup. I have setup successfully the router through ethernet in the past , but right now i need to connect it through USB, because the ethernet is reserved by another PC .
Please dont reply me asking why i dont use ethernet or that I should buy a hub/switch. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx in advance...

well it can usualy be done though if the other machine is a windows box you will have an easier time getting the usb to work with a win box! than with a linux box though it can be done but we need
or you can simply get a ether hub or switch with more ports on it for ethernet cables~Mike ~~~ Forum Rules

You first port of call would be to plug it in and see what happens. Hotplug should do something dmesg it and have a look.
