am trying to install a 3com adsl usb modem to RH8.
i have (i think) correctly installed the drivers. i have copied the 3cinit.bin and 3cmain.bin to the /usr/sbin and extracted the ez-usb.bin firmware to the /usr/sbin as well.
so far so good. i then only needed to initiate the modem:
3cload.sh
whereupon i received the following:
>>>Inits 3Com ADSL Modem USB <<<
>>> Loading USB controller (if it is not loaded)...

Error: I didn't find your ADSL modem
can anyone shed some light on what might have gone wrong?
many thanks

The problem seems to be in the above - the system cannot find your USB controller. Is the modem the only hardware you have plugged into the USB port?
Try the following as root:
modprobe usb-uhci
Does it give you any errors like the above?
If not, you need to edit the startup script so it calls this command rather than modprobe uhci.
HTH,
