Great article and I wish it I woulda found it when I first got dsl, but there're some few things I needed to point out:
1. dynamic firmware loading was added around 2.6.8-9, so if you're using an older kernel it's about time to upgrade (2.6.12-rc1 is out, check your kernel version with uname -r).
3. you need CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y and CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y in the kernel (if you're building one on your own, to check if they are enabled or not in your current kernel type : zgrep -e 'CONFIG_HOTPLUG|CONFIG_FW_LOADER' /proc/config.gz )
4. "8.35" depends on the isp, it could be 0.35 in some cases, depends on the numbers your isp gave you.
i don't understand anything, i just installed xandros and i can't make the modem work, i am new to linux, please tell me what to do exactly and simply.
Thanks for that Gr8 post!
I did the first 2 steps I should be doing part 3 for now I did 3 files in the respective folders and with the respective contents .... but I don't understand the last task
create the startup script adsl.sh
/sbin/modprobe pppoatm
/usr/sbin/pppd call adsl
Amm How can I do this .sh file and where should it be ?!

it should be, just make sure
you can check kernel log $dmesg or /var/log/messages to see if the modem is being detected by the kerel or no
