jonathan... this link: did you try this http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/configSpeedTouch.html ? is for the kernel drivers which i remember you never got working the first time. this driver is not supported by this list.

yeah I tried that, its half baked, suse support cant figure it.. got benoit up at last, but now find that ipforwarding is bl*** well hidden rave reviews all over the shop for yast2, but nothing about setting up a gateway,unless you want to pay £10 for a cd that reboots every 8 hours. no thanks! anyway struggling on, may have to return to RH, but didn't fancy the upgrade path, or purchasing the next minor revision... thanks again jonathan Greg MATTHEWS wrote: jonathan... this link: did you try this http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/configSpeedTouch.html ? is for the kernel drivers which i remember you never got working the first time. this driver is not supported by this list.

[speedtouch] Re: problems with alcatel modem and suse 8
i've found redhat pretty much a breeze to update using the up2date facility. i dont think theres much need to upgrade to a whole new distribution (i.e. 7.2 - 7.3) if you've got up2date running regularly. i *believe* that recent versions of up2date will even upgrade the kernel altho i havent tested this personally having been burned by this in the past (easy enough to sort out tho by booting with a boot disk). granted RH sucks in a cpl of other areas tho (kickstart is a painful learning process to say the least), i used debian (woody) for my adsl gateway.

I am running alcatel modem with SuSe8 using Benoit's drivers with no problems. My ISP is Wanadoo. If you have a standard SuSE PRO installation then you ***must first*** install the following packages: auto config, build and make from Develop\Tools\Building as well as gcc from Develop\Languages\C and C++ so that you can compile Benoit's drivers. The process is fairly straight forward after that unless you make a typo!

No I used this http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3 As I already said, you can't do the : make And as root: make install without adding the packages I listed below. The only other problem that I know of would be your motherboard and/or bios settings (for example if the bios are set at safe your PPP support is non existant).
