hi, i'm new to linux. been a windows user for years (people probly frowning right now lol). but i have decided to give linux a try. i got it all installed and everything,but my motorola surfboard cable modem is hooked up thru usb. i search the web and seen a number of people and problems with usb. just wondering if there is anyway to fix this. most the problems i seen were similiar but different lol. basicly just the modem running right to the machine no router or anything. i know it detected the modem cuz i remember seeing it when it was setting up the hardware. incase anyone needs them my system specs are athlon 64 2800+ epox EP-8dka3i nforce 3 250 chipset 1 gig stick of geil ram. asus radeon 9800 xt 80 gig hd 40 gig secondary everything seems to be working just fine when i boot to suse. except for the internet it says it cant find the page? oh i also have a motorola disk with drivers for cat 5 or usb in order for it to work. and yes in windows i had to install these files to get the modem to work. or else it would only work for a bit and stop. lol but i dont think them disk work for linux right? thx in adv for the help.
