I want to connect a BT Voyager 210 ADSL modem to my computer via USB.
It says here that it should work with the CDCEther driver.
modprobe CDCEther loads the driver, and lsmod shows that CDCEther is indeed loaded, but netcardconfig says no network cards detected.
Any ideas? ThanksI think netcardconfig only sees certain network names (ie ethX)
Is it's visible under `ifconfig -a`?Thanks for the reply. Here is the output of ifconfig -a:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)No interface there. Not good.
What does dmesg | tail
say after doing
Code Sample
rmmod CDCEther
modprobe CDCEther
dmesg might gives some hint as to the problem, but it looks like the driver is not working with the hardware.<6>cdrom: open failed. <6>kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds <6>EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.19, 19 August 2002 on ide0(3,65), internal journal <6>EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. <6>kjournald starting.

I have Debian installed as well and during booting I can see that it recognises the modem and CDCEther flashes by a few times, but I can't get it working with Debian either.
I think I'll probably just get a NIC and use the ethernet connection to the router.Next Page...
