i recently installed debian sarge by netinst minimal cd and the
installer did not recognise my motorola sb5100 cable modem which was
conneted by usb
i have no router, it was a direct connection
this is a cable modem distributed by Optus which is a very large telco
in Australia so i am sure many people have this problem
debian needs a linux driver on floppy, the problem is motorola doesent
make a linux driver, i have searched extensively and found this is a
common problem among debian sarge users
strangely enough when using "damn small linux" which is a variant of
debian, for some reason it automatically detected my modem allowed me to
browse perfectly, this was the livecd version.
perhaps whatever it is that allows DamnSmallLinux to make this
troublesome modem work could it be put into debian
