Setting up ASUS AAM6000UG USB ADSL modem

IvanV · Apr 6, 2006, 05:36 PM

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
It wasn't detected, and I failed to install it manually (but I'm quite new at this so that's not really a surprise). I've got SUSE 10.0 x64 distribution. ASUS doesn't offer Linux drivers.

You're lucky. Maybe. It seems that eagle-usb driver supports your modem. Check this site a bit: http://faq.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=ModemSupport
Do you know how to compile kernel drivers?

Wo-hoo! Thank you!

No, I have no idea. There are some very brief instructions on the download page, so I'll give it a go and re-post.

In any case, you will almost certainly have to have gcc, make and kernel source installed, and maybe some other build utilities, depending on the way driver compilation is done. Post as you progress.

Yes, I needed gcc and kernel source. I think that compiling went well. I used the following sequence of instructions:
./configure
make
make install
Next, the instructions say that I should run eagleconfig, but my ISP is not in the list. Is there a way to manually set it up?

You will have to experiment a bit. Maybe you can adjust the list somehow?

Thank you.

I'm just wondering is that compiling of drivers really necessary or they just made it that way to make the noobs' lives more complicated?

I'm planning too. I just couldn't find the righ file (I tried some whose names sounded "suspicious"). I'll try them all.

UPDATE: I have to set encapsulation type to pppoe llc, but pppoe (apparently) isn't supported (only pppoa).
