Tiscali With FC3

[Subcynic]

I recently (in the early hours of this morning), installed FC3 and everything seems to be running fine. The only problem that i have is I have no idea how to configure my USB modem. I searched the forum and found another post about this, and the URL of an rpm was given, but this link no longer works. Anyway, the modem is a SAGEM F@st 800 USB ADSL from Tiscali. Any suggestions?

Nevermind, sorted it. It was pretty simple in the end. Found Linux drivers and instructions on Sagems site and the fix of copying /var.run/ppp/resolve.conf to /etc/resolve.conf wasnt working because the file wasnt created until startadsl was used. I always find answers right after i post anywhere...

Hi Subcynic

I too have the same set up - Tiscali broadband and the same ADSL modem with eagle 3 chipset.

There is also a uegale-atm driver for this chipset.
Can you please show how you configured your modem please?
Can you do that from the from the network configuration panel>

The on;y difference is that I have the new Fedora 9 Linux installed.

Any help would be really appreciated indeed.

I have seen the very long winded way of the installation, but if there is no easier way of doing it, I shall simply buy a Router/Modem instead.

Regards.
Paul

Paul2008 did you notice that the posts by "Subcynic " were made on "2005-06-10" and that Subcynic only has 2 posts .That person has not been back( using that name) since 2005.

as for your asdl modem have you tried turned off " Network Manager" and turned on " network" in the system services .
System / Administration / Services
and /or have you set your ip,submask,and dns by hand or just letting dchp do it ?
also is ipv6 turned off or is in on( on by default -- hopeing for MS to get a clue) ?

Thank you for your reply, and I had noticed all of the above.

I shall try and install the modem as suggested in other threads on this forum
I have the Fedora 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Bible by Christopher Negus as a very good guide as well.

The modem is not installed by the network configuration, and has to be done by installing the ueagle-atm driver, then the kernel headers, then the configuration iitself.
Too much hassle, I might try it, if it doesn't work, I'll buy a Router/Modem instead.
