Hi,

I'm posting in this forum because I think this problem is rather complex.

I'm totally new to linux and even though I'm already getting used to it I still have a major MAJOR problem, ubuntu works mostly by downloadin extra packages and stuff the problem is that I CAN'T connect to the internet. I use a 2wire modem connected to my usb, i have no wireless, no ethernet card. The 2wire modem is perfectly recognized in the device manager, yet the networking wizard has no option to set a connection through USB. The pppoeconf command automatically requests a network card, is there actually any possibility to set a connection through usb?

I guess there is a way to set this up manually yet i have not the slightest idea how to do it. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
