Right, being a omplete linux n00b have now got it running (YAY!!) but i was given this link http://dsl-linux.tripod.com/index/ to get the drivers for my Fujitsu FDX310 ADSL Modem, i have downloaded the tar file but thats all i can manage, how do i do those inructions on that page?

Can someone please explain this a bit better so that even me, a lowly linux n00b can understand it and carrie it out.

thanx in advance

okay using a shell, goto where you downloaded them and do the following...


Code: 
tar xvf fdx310-linux-01.tar

that should create a directory, most likely fdx310-linux-01, so change into that directory:

Code: 
cd fdx310-linux-01
 
Sorry for my n00bie qestions but.... how do i get to a shell?, all i know is that im running Redhat 8 using gnome, the driver is stored on a floppy disk, i dont even know how to access the hard drive from redhat
 
There shoulde be a console icon on the taskbar it might look something like this

maybe not exactly but similar. If your really can't find hit ctrl-alt-backspace :)
 
It is fairly easy to set up these drivers, as said tar zxvf them, and go into the directory, do the

make

make install
Click to expand...

Then cd to /usr/local/bin which is where it is installed to.

Instead of manually editing the adsl + chap-secrets files just use the

makeconfig <Login name> <password> /usr/local/bin/pppoeci <ISP DNS 1> <ISP DNS 2> 0 38

command, to set up the config files, though it is also a good idea to double check the files are correct (/etc/ppp/peers/adsl + /etc/ppp/chap-secrets)

After this run /usr/local/bin/eci-doctor.sh (which what it is for me not the ./eci-doctor in the manual)

Which will log you onto the internet :)

In future you need to use the /usr/local/bin/startmodem command to log on, though sometimes I need to do this twice, once for the modem to sync up, a second time for it to log on.

I have done the

Make

but i cannot run the

Make install

it gives a permission denied message, is this because im logged in as me and not root?

HDLC SUPPORT IS OK (NO BUG)
DABUSB MODULE IS NOT LOADED: OK
I CANNOT FIND YOUR USB MODEM: FATAL

i have check the modem conectivity (it works in windows so i know ts connected) but am now stuck please help me :D
 
Open up a terminal and type the following, but before you do so type ls -A in the /usr/src/linux directory and make a backup of the file .config if it's there. if not don;t worry
Code: 
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Once in there you should be presented with a funky menu, drop down the menu to the USB submenu and take a looksee in there, I think theres an option for USB modems.
 
ok, will give that a go, thanx mpemba, I ave found the device liting in redhat and under the system devices it shows a globespan usb adsl modem which can onlu be the fuji one, so if it can see it cold the error be down to me running redhat 8 or somthing?
 
Erh yeah ... possiblily :D ... lol sorry not very helpful but ... I haven't really connected a USB modem to linux before :p ... do you get any insightful messages at bootup. Type
Code: 
dmesg
and look for any signs of your modem and post it up.
 
Well... it nearly worked, it sees the modem now (i changed the port it was in) and i can run that eci-doctor.sh but i get the following

any ideas?
 
Take a look in that adsl file it got to be there for a reason ... it's proberbly some sort of script ... which need modifying for your particular ISP? .. not sure. Also isn't there supposed to be some sort of pap or chap authenication filey-migigan as well?

edit: take a look at this site http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/doc.php?lang=en this is apparently where those drivers were developed

after checking that site and translating the frech forums to english it seems a lot of people are having trouble getting it working in Redhat 8, are there any other versions of linux i could try that are easy to set up and have the excellent boot loader screen redhat has (i found that VERY easy to set up to dual with Windows XP)
