You are right. I stopped trying to help, after that, as it has been about three years since I used a USB modem, the netbook used has had the HD reformatted, and by memory I have not much to say. That time, I was using a minimal Ubuntu (installed with the alternative cd, then added, I think, lxde or fluxbox). Anyway, those days, I was trying wicd, which was not able to give me the connection, because it was ppp. ISTR that I needed wpa_supplicante and ppp, not sure if afterwards I notice any of the two was considered not necessary, although wpa_supplicant, from memory, was essential. The interface for the USB device is probably not eth*, but ppp<something>, like ppp0, but sorry, this is from memory. Hope this helps John or anybody else to helping him. OTOH, I believe that if he could install network-manager, all his problems would be solved. I am considering that he has all drivers, do not know if it is necessary to enable this in the kernel. One thing that I do not recall in any previous post from John is which version of LFS is being used (probably a version where udev was using the old good eth* names, if I or Pierre knew that, we would not have written those two first replies), if it is 64 or 32 bit. These data could help others to give better support. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
