Subject: [Sderby] Hello to All from new member Chris with ntl Cable =
Modem prob
Hi Linux peeps - new member Chris here. I've been running MD 8.2 =
since around April. It's the first distribution that worked 'out of the =
box' for me, but (shock!, horror!) I've had to go back to Windoze due to =
this cable modem. Inevitably, ntl supports Windoze, so it's made to run =
as part of the install. When I switch to MadDuck, though, it recognises =
the modem as a usb modem, but requests drivers. That's great - there are =
none anywhere!! Nothing on the mfrs website (it's an Ambit 351000, =
badged as an ntl:home 100), nor from ntl. Prodigious websearches have =
produced nothing. Dear ol' ntl have taken down my dial-up account , so =
I have no net access in MD :-(
Has anyone succeeded in getting this modem running in a Red Hat =
based distro? If so, a few pointers would be really appreciated. =
Thanks in anticipation
Chris
