Iburst in SUSE connection problem


Also i have a problem getting my iburst desktop modem to connect.
I create a DSL connection like i would in windows but i cant seem to start the connection.
Now my linux knowledge is limited so it might be something really simple so im hoping someone might be able to help me .
As far as I understand once you created the connection , it should show up when i click on the network icon in the system tray ?
I dont see it there though.
When i create for example a wired network connection , it will show but i never see the dsl connection there.
Advice?

For the plasma problem, have you tried to run that "platform" manager as administrator in Windows 7/Vista?
Usually right lick run as admin works for simple problems like that.

As for the dsl problem, that probably won't work as network manager usually runs pppoe over eth0, and I am sure your ibust modem is not eth0. In which case you need another way to establish that. I for example wanted to use it over wlan0, and the only way I could do that was from the command line use pppoe-connect and manually setting my device for that to wlan0. Thus I would suggest finding what ethernet device that modem pop up as and work from there. I am not sure if the NetworkManager in linux can be set to use another device instead of eth0 for pppoe.

did you click on the link above? that's just searching for linux in that sub-forum. i'd be very surprised if all those threads were complaints and not one of them offered you a starting point.
