I choose to buy a Alcatel SpeedTouch USB modem because of pppoa port exists. PPPoA port doesn't work because my ISP don't support PPPoA connections, only PPPoE. (Bad luck!). I've searched google and I found that the solution for this problem is to emulate a ethernet device and then use PPPoE protocol to connect. I found a patch that make this works: http://www.prout.be/ECI/speedtouch.html Description: ... Which enables the Speedtouch USB driver to support PPPoE with rp-pppoe, as some providers don't seem to support PPPoA Does anyone knows if there is any solution for my case? Thanks very much, Nuno Teixeira -- /* PGP fingerprint: C6D1 06ED EB54 A99C 6B14 6732 0A5D 810D 727D F6C6 */
