Just thought I'd mention that I tried running Ubuntu (as a LiveCD) and the internet worked straight away even with the router connected via USB - I didn't need to do anything, just open Firefox as soon as Ubuntu was loaded and I could use the internet.

Hi, I'm new to this site

.

I revive this thread because I have a USB Modem (in the box says only 'ADSL USB' but my winxp tells me that it is a 'PTI800 ADSL USB WAN Adapter', and I read somewhere that this is really a Amigo HMX-CA85UR-K8 USB modem (based on a Conexant chip). My doubt is if this modem is supported on DSL. If this is supported, the question will be: how do I configure it? As the other USB modem was configurated?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

I'm sorry to go back to this issue again, but I am sure that it is possible to get my USB ADSL modem working. As I said it works straight away in Ubuntu without any configuration. DSL actually knows that it is there, but it doesn't seem to know what driver to use with it.
In 'DSL System Stats - Net' it shows "ADSL USB Network Interface" but says Driver Unknown. In 'DSL System Stats - harware' it shows the same thing under 'Netcard'. DSL also automatically loads CDCEther on start-up, and as I said my modem is supposed to work with that... Any more ideas? Thanks

Here's exactly what it says:

FULLNAME="ADSL USB Network Interface"
DRIVER="unknown"
# Insert nameservers here
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 206.13.28.12

Some more info in case it helps anyone:

lsusb lists

which is correct, according to the link in my first post.

DSL also automatically loads CDCEther on start-up

Is this the same driver as Ubuntu uses? Is this the driver that Askey Computer Corp recommends for their device?

It might help the trouble-shooting if you could boot from the Knoppix 3.4 CD and see if things work with that.
