DarthEshpo86 Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 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 http://sandra.firenze.net/linuxpppatm.html What must I do? Thanks very much! Daniele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 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 ? roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plati Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Does the modem use USB or LAN to connect to your computer? Try and scan through the manual/help pages for any mention of a chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbman Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 ADSL is the 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plati Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 gabbman's idea is a great one. Id recommend it personally since I use that method too. Once linux picks up the network card (eg. eth0) youre in business. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
