Dan, Not familiar with the Intel Pro/DSL 2100, but I recently had good success with installing DSL over a FlowPoint 2200 DSL router between Debian (Potato) and the provider.
The provider's installer didn't know much about Linux, so he established the connection over a laptop with Windows2K. It was cute when he looked up and saw the image on my 17" monitor melting before his eyes, and worriedly asked, "Did I do that?" It was the screensaver, of course :) His establishing the DSL connection over his laptop was fine by me since the Debian box is also my firewall and I prefer being the one to set up that connection. Connecting Debian to the router was pretty straight forward. I used the LinkSys 10/100 (mfg #: LNE100TX, version 2) ethernet card which claims to be "100% Compatible with Cable/DSL Internet Access". Linux-2.2.16's standard tulip driver worked fine so I didn't have to download their Linux driver off the web. BTW, LinkSys has surprisingly good Linux support on their website: http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=25#otherdist Other than that, it was just a matter of cabling, pinging and reading the PDF files on the FlowPoint's support CD to get Debian to communicate with and 'take control of' the router. Actually, it was a lot more interesting re-doing the firewall rules and establishing the ssl, ssh1 and ssh2 protocols to handle the public, static DSL IP. Anyway, good luck. montefin > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am going to install Debian Linux, but don't know if it will suport > the DSL modem I am using, the Intel Pro/DSL 2100.
