Thank you for the reply and the warning. After the previous postings from you and others on the list, I had no intention whatever of getting the PCI modem. The forwarding of the message with the two URL's was simply information in case anyone was interested. Thanks again. Cheers Keith Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Keith The Access runner Conexant chip set is the one I warned you about. It is REALLY HARD to get working. I helped a friend get one working and it took 2 weeks of email support from a guy in New Zealand before it worked, and that was with the 2.4 kernel, now he dare not upgrade the kernel for fear it stops working. The problem is the driver is a binary driver which is no longer maintained by Conexant. Trust me, anything is preferable to that dog. If you search the Linux forum at adslguide.org you will find lots of posts from people trying to install that driver. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have received the following message regarding a PCI broadband modem, and am forwarding it just for information in case anyone is interested. Keith Not sure if the following refers to the same PCI modem, Keith, but it will hopefully be of some help: Subject: Re: Plusnet PCI ADSL Modem and Fedora 2 From: Simon Arlott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: plusnet.tech.linux Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 10:51:58 +0100 Rod wrote: > Has anyone had any success in persuading Fedora 2 to recognise the > PlusNet Connexant Access Runner PCI ADSL Modem.
