Hello!

 

I want to install my "AtlantisLand I-Storm" modem to surf on Internet with my ADSL line. B)

But I don't know how to install the drivers and configure Linux. :(

I've found this How-To (it's in Italian) but it's too difficult to understand for a newbie like me! :D

What must I do?

 

Thanks very much!

Daniele.

Hello and welcome :)

 

On www.google.com/Linux i've found only italian pages about your modem. Is it a name/brand special for the Italian market ? in this case do you know an other name/brand with the same chipset used in the international market ?

I know nothing about chipsets, but the Italian link mentions the ITEX chipset. On Linux.com, I found this:

IteX PCI ADSL modem based on the Apollo chipset, also sold under various other brand names such as Dlink and ALH110. http://www.itexinc.com/.

The Itex site has nothing about drivers, in fact the company has recently gone into liquidation...

 

Hope someone can use this information... :unsure:

ADSL is the :devil: spawn. I lived in ppp0e H3LL for years. Then one day in a 'best buy' store, I bought me a smc router for under $100.

 

Now it's like having cable, you just install software and 99% of the time it's detected. In fact with about 15-20 linux distro's I've try'd, it's never failed to auto detect. Just make sure you have a popular nix card .... like a d-link 530 or along those lines, if the kernel see's the nic, your online.
