Fedora won't detect D-Link USB DSL Modem

[titobill777]

How do you get Fedora to detect a USB D-Link DSL-200 modem. As I understand it, the computer has to enitialize the modem before it will work. This does not happen during Boot. I was running Fedora 4 before. Now I have Fedral 8 test 3. Both versons can't see the modem.

Can anybody help.

I have the same problem with a D-Link and after allot of frustration talking with the company I called Geeksquad and somehow they got it working,
And although I have not a clue what we did it worked free of charge.
But I think a simple solution would be to try activating the connection by going to system then administration and hit network when the app opens hit activate at the top and that should work on all the modems except the one I used.

[titobill777]

Unfortunately there is nothing to Activate. Fedora does not detect the modem, so there is no item in devices that correspond with the modem. The only item in the devices for communication is the ethernet card. It works fine. The USB modem is the problem. Kppp doesn't work either. It says no modem detected.

Try this I compiled and got it installed but I don't have hardware to test it.

I tried the patch that brr872002 suggested. It Configured OK. It had no errors in Make and also Make-install. So, if it compiled ok and installed ok, then something else is wrong. I wish I could see the USB devices it did find. I vaguely remember a method of probing the USB bus from a Terninal using linux commands. Unfortunately I appear to have forgotten how. While pokeing arround trying to get the modem working, I discovered that the printer is also not working. It generates a CUP error when I tried to print the test page. It is also USB driven. I pluged in a flash drive. It worked ok. One other device it finds is a Saltek X52 flight control.
One thing at a time though. I need to get this modem working.

Run
#/usr/local/bin/eciadsl-config-tk

[titobill777]

From eciadsl-doctor output. Under that is the output from the probe. I know I setup up the correct device with eciadsl-config-tk. It is there but it won't play ball. Anyone got any ideas?
