UBUNTU and ADSL. I pray you helped me!!! 4881

What "native (original) message"? News is not mail! I do not see everything you post, nor in the order you post it if I do see it.

Like the name says, it is a "news (onthingthatisnotpaper)".

You do not seem to understand how news works or is perceived. Because YOU see it like that, does not mean that I or WE see it like that! All you can rely on is that I see the ONE message you post. Please read the netiquette faq in that regard.

You do, if it is necessary for comprehension, just as the newspaper does! What is the problem?

I have no idea what your "initial message" is! That is a purely personal subjective thing.

Then it doesn't sound much like a router to me! If it's USB, then it requires a driver. If it requires a driver, it is internal. Since it is internal, it cannot be a router, since a router interfaces between two DIFFERENT nets, and you are on one of them.

Well, all I can say is "please don't". The canonical way to work ADSL is to have a router sitting on the end of the telephone line, and to plug your ethernet cable into one of its inward-side ports, the other end of the cable either going to the NIC on your computer, or to a hub to which your computer is connected (the two cases require DIFFERENT CABLES, or differently configured router ports).

Great, and what driver have you installed for your (USB) DIgicm Michaelangelo usb cx? These things do not happen by magic, you know?

You select or compile a driver, load it, and see what it tells you.

What do you mean? I have never heard of anything called "installed devices"! The term is some sort of windows-derived horror.

That's meaningless, since the term "installed device" is meaningless. What driver have you loaded and what does it tell you in the kernel messages (dmesg) output? That's all you (and I) need to know!

There is nothing to "install"! You compile and install a driver, not a modem! Do you say that you cook your plate, not your meal?

How would you verify such a thing except by compiling, loading and reading the output? And if you have done so, why don't yu

TELL US?

Why? What is in it?

If there is a deb, then why are you ownloading a tar?

One does not "recognize" a kernel! No more than yu "recgonize" your shoes. The module is the wrong architecture, and maybe the wrong kernel version too, is what you mean!

So great! Why tell us! Simply tell us that you compiled a module, loaded it, and tell us what it (the kernel) says!

Anything else is annoying.

Why? What possible relevance does it have?

Why?

Why? What does it contain? If it contains a module, did you load it? What does the kernelsay as a result?

Why?

This is NOT where drivers are installed! Drivers are inlib-modules.

What are you doing? You haven't loaded a module yet! Why are you doing all this?

Please stop!

Just answer the single basic questions!

What module did you compile, what did you load, and what did the kernel say as a result?

Anyway, it sounds like you have a horrible usb device. Throw it away. You want a router.
