Hi,
I was "trying" to help a friend get a SurfBoard SB1000
cable modem working in a Linux box much to my pain. I mean trying
because I failed horribly. :(
At first, I tried looking for support under FreeBSD but
found none. Then, I tried to get it working under Linux since it
seems to be supported. I'll spare the details since this is not the
place for non-FreeBSD stuff. HEheh
However, Linux has been such a pain to kernel configure
and system update (not to mention isapnp configure) that I am trying
to ask here if there is a beta around or anything that would even
remotely get a SurfBoard SB1000 working. I am sure that most of my
pain with Linux comes from my inexperience with it since I've been
mostly away for the past 4 years which I do not regret from the
damned questionary when I try to compile a kernel. No flame wars
please, I am sure people use it just fine. :)
Anyone? Ideas on how to get the linux kernel module
binary to work? Well, we were lucky with the aureal-kmod port. More
information about it can be found at
- Original driver written for Linux by Franco Venturi in 1998
http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/
The driver can be found under any Linux kernel at
drivers/net/sb1000.[ch]
No flames please. I know the card is old but my
friend has no choices.
Regards,
