Installing Hardware and installing hardware again

[tzpow2k2]

Hi I am a newbie at Linux.
I installed this external modem few months ago and it was working. Now turn on the modem and boot up the computer. I got the following message. I remember I had this message first time I installed the modem. It seems everytime I turn on the modem and boot up I get this message, and if I turn off the modem I don't get this message at boot up. I pressed option 2 ignore. I can't find the modem in the hardware manager. Can someone give me some advices on how to install this and eliminate this message. I have a Redhat Fedora Kernel version 2.6.9-1.667

Hardware Added

The following modem has been added to your system:
USR|3080 U.S. Robotics 56k Voice Ext


you can choose to:

1) Configure the device,
2) Ignore the device. No configuration will be added, but you will not be prompted if the device is dected on subsequent reboots.
3) Do nothing . No configuration will be added and the device will show up as new if it is deceted on subsequent reboots.


button : configure, Ignore, Do Nothing

I think you should chose to
1) Configure the device

This will let Linux setup the modem for later use. As
a bonus, you should not be prompted with this question again.

Yes I took option one last time and I couldnt connect to internet using dsl. My eth0 was gone. I guess if I took option one the configuration wiped out eth0.. Can you show me how to install it while my system is on. So if I install it and I turn off Kudzu I think it will be ok..
thanks
