This howto shows how to connect to internet with an adsl usb modem.

First method

QtADSL, is an ADSL program developed for usb modems. Go to http://code.google.com/p/qtadsl/ ,download the package and double click the file to install it.

Second method

Before installation

Enter to konsole and be root. Then, run the command:

#adsl-setup

Example:

linux onur # adsl-setup
Welcome to the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client setup.  First, I will run
some checks on your system to make sure the PPPoE client is installed  
properly... 

Looks good!  Now, please enter some information:

USER NAME

>>> Enter your PPPoE user name (default pardus@ttnet):

Summary

Enter your user name to connect.

INTERFACE

>>> Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem
For Solaris, this is likely to be something like /dev/hme0.
For Linux, it will be ethn, where 'n' is a number.
(default eth0):

Run the command "nas0" (not inverted comma) at this chapter and push the enter button.

Example:

INTERFACE

>>> Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the DSL modem
For Solaris, this is likely to be something like /dev/hme0.
For Linux, it will be ethn, where 'n' is a number.
(default eth0): nas0 

Do you want the link to come up on demand, or stay up continuously?
If you want it to come up on demand, enter the idle time in seconds
after which the link should be dropped.  If you want the link to
stay up permanently, enter 'no' (two letters, lower-case.)
NOTE: Demand-activated links do not interact well with dynamic IP
addresses.  You may have some problems with demand-activated links.
>>> Enter the demand value (default 0):

Run "no" and push the enter.

DNS

Please enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server.
If your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS addresses',
enter 'server' (all lower-case) here.
If you just press enter, I will assume you know what you are
doing and not modify your DNS setup.
>>> Enter the DNS information here:

Don't write anything. Push the enter.

PASSWORD

>>> Please enter your PPPoE password: Buraya şifrenizi girin
>>> Please re-enter your PPPoE password: Buraya şifrenizin tekrarını girin

Enter your password.

FIREWALLING

Please choose the firewall rules to use.  Note that these rules are
very basic.  You are strongly encouraged to use a more sophisticated
firewall setup; however, these will provide basic security.  If you
are running any servers on your machine, you must choose 'NONE' and
set up firewalling yourself.  Otherwise, the firewall rules will deny
access to all standard servers like Web, e-mail, ftp, etc.  If you
are using SSH, the rules will block outgoing SSH connections which
allocate a privileged source port. 

The firewall choices are:
0 - NONE: This script will not set any firewall rules.  You are responsible
          for ensuring the security of your machine.  You are STRONGLY
          recommended to use some kind of firewall rules.
1 - STANDALONE: Appropriate for a basic stand-alone web-surfing workstation
2 - MASQUERADE: Appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gateway
                for a LAN
>>> Choose a type of firewall (0-2): 

Choose a type of firewall and push the enter.

** Summary of what you entered **

Ethernet Interface: nas0
User name:          pardus@ttnet
Activate-on-demand: No
DNS:                Do not adjust
Firewalling:        NONE 

>>> Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)?

Run the command "y" and push the enter.

Ex.:

>>> Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)? y
Adjusting /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
Adjusting /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
 (But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets-bak)
 (But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets-bak)

Congratulations, it should be all set up!

Installation

In konsole, be root and run this command: br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35

Ex.:

linux onur # br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35
br2684ctl[3475]: Interface "nas0" created sucessfully
br2684ctl[3475]: Communicating over ATM 0.8.35, encapsulation: LLC
br2684ctl[3475]: Interface configured

Connecting to internet

After stand confessed as root, write this:

# adsl-start

Ex.:

linux onur # adsl-start
. Connected!

Note

If you restart your pc, you must run "br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35" and "adsl-start" again. If you don't want to write each time, open your local.start file, and add these lines:

br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35
adsl-start

Ex.:

# /etc/conf.d/local.start

# This is a good place to load any misc programs
# on startup ( use 1>&2 to hide output)

br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 8.35
adsl-start
