Fedora problem with BT V-100 ADSL Modem

[Sym]

Hey,

 

Cool site.

Had a search for what I'm looking for and I found the drivers for the BT Voyager 100 modem on some site and ran them(eciadsl-usermode-0.10-1.i386.rpm file)

 

Restarted the system and I still cant connect to the internet.

 

The device isn't recognised. I've also tried different USB ports too and nothing.

Has someone a step-by-step walk though they could post for me.

Fedora core 2.6 I think. I not entirly sure cause I'm a newbie to linux.

 

The modem don't apear in the hardware list.

 

But I've given up now. I'll probably never try linux again because it's a pain in the backside.

cmon man ! don't give up yet, give linux some time. Rome wasnt built in a day, it takes time to understand linux let alone have it working the way YOU want it to. After time/effort/learning you will get to know and love linux, trust me. It does take patience though and lots of question asking and personal comittment to taking on a challenge

 

good luck

 

cheers

for the impatience in you... buy a router connect to the web that way...

 

setup will be via a web browser.. and dhcp client.. both of which is completely standard in linux
