Since I've installed Suse 9.1 I'm trying to understand simple operations which seems impossible to find in any user guide I was reading.
For example, they tell me to configure the modem manually, but how??? First I read that I can do it through YaST, I reached the point in which it starts automatically to do the DSL configuration but then I got the message (always in YaST) that there are no DSL devices to configure... of course, the driver of my modem are in a cd rom and so far I'm still not able to open an exe file from a cd rom!!
Going back to configure the modem with YaST, in the ppp mode, I don't know if I have to put: ppp over ethernet, ppp over ATM, CAPI for ADSL or point to point tunneling protocol...
....put the ppp, VCI,VPI, then somewhere else I read that in order to use that specific modem I have to compile the kernel?! I saw a couple of websites where they explain how to complile the kernel and make my modem work for the DSL but I didn't understand anything...
My modem is a BEWAN ADSL USB.
Does anyone know where should I start?
I've studied the user guide included in the CD rom of suse, and there is NOTHING, I went in some other message boards, NOTHING, I went in some linux website, NOTHING....
I really don't want to go back to windows, but it seems so damn hard!
