Hi, I was "trying" to help a friend get a SurfBoard SB1000 cable modem working in a Linux box much to my pain. I mean trying because I failed horribly. :( At first, I tried looking for support under FreeBSD but found none. Then, I tried to get it working under Linux since it seems to be supported. I'll spare the details since this is not the place for non-FreeBSD stuff. HEheh However, Linux has been such a pain to kernel configure and system update (not to mention isapnp configure) that I am trying to ask here if there is a beta around or anything that would even remotely get a SurfBoard SB1000 working. I am sure that most of my pain with Linux comes from my inexperience with it since I've been mostly away for the past 4 years which I do not regret from the damned questionary when I try to compile a kernel. No flame wars please, I am sure people use it just fine. :) Anyone? Ideas on how to get the linux kernel module binary to work? Well, we were lucky with the aureal-kmod port. More information about it can be found at - Original driver written for Linux by Franco Venturi in 1998 http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/ The driver can be found under any Linux kernel at drivers/net/sb1000.[ch] No flames please. I know the card is old but my friend has no choices. Regards, -- Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature."
