Dear Sir, I am a new bee. Recently I have default install from Fedora 9 CD.
I have an ADSL Broad Band Modem HUAWEI MT882 Supplied by my ISP BSNL (Dataone) along with Broad Band Connection. The
Modem is working well with WindowsXP (USB).
But the CD that came with the Modem, contains Driver Package meant for Linux-RHL8. As a result I could not Install the Modem.
Then I made changes in the "makefile" for linux-2.6.25-14 and again tried to install. But it ended as "gcc: command not found"
As a new bee I got confused but in the Fedora CD I found rpm for gcc and I installed it.
Still that I installation fails with a lot of error messages.
If any of fedora-india list member had installed MT882 and configured for Dataone Broadband may please guide me in
detail since I may not be able to understand Technica Terms.
Helping Member may help me if you Would you please send me Driver Package (MT882) for Fedora 9 along with
Installation Guide in a ZIP File. I am a new bee. Please extend your helping hand.
(In absence of Internet Connection I am unable to update as well as download drivers/packages.)
Thanking you,
Sincerely yours,
Kamalendu Chakrabarty.

You do not need any driver for that.
Remove the USB connection and simply connect it to your ethernet card.
Make a DSL connection using your account details from system-config-network
(or from the corresponding GUI menu item)

AFAIK, the DSL account details are managed from the Modem itself and we just have to plug the modem to the ethernet card and configure the network to use DHCP. If you are unable to connect to ethernet card, then another option is to use the wvdial utility. But I haven't tested it.
