Hi!
I use FC3 at home and I have taken a Touchtel/Airtel DSL Connection. The trouble is that I want to use my Micronet USB ADSL Broadlink SP3302 Modem in Linux. This modem comes with drivers only for Windows.
I checked the manufacturer's website. Though they want their products to work with Linux, they donot support Linux(??). I have also checked the eciadsl Linux driver page. No mention of Micronet's products over there either. This modem connects directly to the USB port and does not go through an Ethernet card.
Can you help me use this modem in Linux? What do I need to do?
Thanx
John
Hi John,
You may want to search Google usenet archives in all the *linux* newsgroups for the above product to see if there is any thread regarding your specific USB modem.
You may also pursue the manufacturer for support, they cannot just say they want their product to work with Linux w/o any commitment to support it. Likewise go after AirTel and ask them to support their modem in Linux OR provide a modem with a RJ45 interface that will most likely work with Linux.
