Cable modems usually emulate Ethernet adapters. Check your network interfaces - the modem should be eth*, e.g eth0 in case you have no other NICs in your computer, otherwise it depends on driver loading order. Offtopic : this "driver loading order" makes me pretty sick :-( In case of USB, you never know, which storage device will get sda and which sdb, which printer would be lp0 and which lp1, whether the cable modem will get eth0 or eth1... > Does it matter that it is connected via a USB multiplexer? Do you mean USB hub?Yes and no. As long as the USB hub is supported, there should be no problem for the system to see the modem. Although, if you have USB 1.1, there may be bandwidth conflicts between the modem and other devices on the same root hub, as the modem will use maximum bandwidth. Nothing serious, but your download/upload rate may go down as you use another full-bandwidth device on the same root hub - scanner or printer, for example. > > -- > Thanks. > > David Harel, > > ================================== > > Home office +972 4 6921986 > Fax: +972 4 6921986 > Cellular: +972 54 534502 > Snail Mail: Amuka > D.N Merom Hagalil > 13802 > Israel > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
