      usb based Cable internet in Linux?

      is this possible?

      i just installed mardake 9. it's so sweet. even my dodgy sound card is picked up and configured automatically no problem.

      but for the life of me i can't get internet access with my usb cable modem.


      is it possible?

      thanks in advance.

      I don't know about linux but I do know in windows USB cable modems are slower and have nothing but headaches. IMHO I would say if you have the pci slot get a nic card. Good luck

      thanks for the replies.

      no complications yet.

      my usb modem has so far been a pure pleasure to use. v fast. wow - if pci versions are even faster.

      it is a motorolla surfboard (sb4101).

      any help getting it to run with linux (mandrake 9) would be very appreciated.

      Did you get a CD with drivers on it. I think there is a driver for Linux on it. Also read this information.
