I am amazed at how smoothly the DSL booted and the GUI came up without any trouble on the 3 machines I tried it on. Even connected to the LAN (Win). Good job guys.

Here is the problem:
I use a broadband connection to my ISP, I had no trouble connecting with my laptop with a Realtek NIC, but my ancient P1 has a "Myson mtd80x based card" for which I had to install a driver in Win98 and use WinPoET to connect to my ISP. I copied all the settings from Windows 98 to DSL except installing the mtd80x driver. DSL indicates eth0 and ifconfig utility accepts my settings (that I jotted down from Win98).

Does the presence of "eth0" device indicate that I do not have to install the driver? (I am a little wary of installing the driver because I dont know how to copy the file from a USB drive or floppy), I dont want to touch my HD as it has win98 + other stuff on it.

When I run PPOE from the GUI, it complains that the modem did not respond.

I'd appreciate any help.

TIA

As far as I can tell, there is no mtd80x driver module in DSL.

I looked in the /lib/modules folder and subfolders. So unless the driver has a different name or is compiled directly into the kernel, it is not here.

You can see your loaded modules by typing:

lsmod

and your bootup messages by typing:

dmesg | more

Also, you can look at your PCI devices with:

lspci

Maybe they can shed some light on the situation.
