installing a bt voyager 100 to linux

[Pyraine]

Hey hey, i think i always see myself posting in the pc help section, oh well...

Does anyone here know of anyway to install BT Voyager 100 to a Linux box, the distro I am using is Ubuntu, BT Voyager is DCHP, i've heard about Firmware and stuff but that goes straight over the top of my head

I believe it's pc/mac only, I could be wrong.

Nah, it's not, the install disc is pc/mac only, but it is possible to get it running on linux, but it's hell of alot harder

Well at least that's what officially supported.

I think this is a good idea, might or might not work.

is the Modem Ethernet or USB ?

If its USB it may be difficult to set it up on linux, however if its ethernet, it should be simple enough, just plug it in to a second ethernet port on the machine and setup the NIC to get its settings via dhcp.

 

[urbanfox]

Yeah only USB :/

Hmm, support for that modem under linux is in beta it seems :/ (According to eciadsl.flashtux.org)

http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/nortek-2021/ is the only place i can find a driver for it (same as posted above by UF)

Some of the results here may help:

However, your best option would probably be to get an ethernet modem/router.
My setup here at home is with a Zoom X3 running in half-bridge mode, then it is directly connected to the second nic on my linux machine (which is setup to use dhcp), then all i do is "ifup eth1" and my net connection is there.

(You will need to use iptables and some NAT rules to get internet on other machines, lemme know if you need any help with setting up NAT (i reccomend 2 NICs for the easiest painfree setup))

I've never used Ubuntu before (or even heard of it) so i'm not sure about configuring the actual NIC on it, but IPTables should be the same as on Redhat etc
