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.
HTH,
Arun Khan
