as far i understand the above lines, you have sucessfully loaded the kernel driver for your device. the "link is not ready" probably means you have no ethernet cable connected, or the cable is broken. > My main purpose is creating Live CD with some unicodes support, should I > consider something about USB modem? no. usb-modems are obsolete - at least here in CH and DE. most users have adsl- or cable-routers to connect to the internet. just connect an ethernet cable (or use wifi) and use dhcp. the last usb-modems i got hands on was about 4 years ago. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
