woosh and linux help

Hi there

Can anyone tell me how I use Woosh with Linux?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Wont Woosh help you? Come on seriously this is getting ridiculous, I knew woosh was bad, but THIS bad?

Sell you the hardware and charge you but dont even make sure it runs?

Tell us something about the Hardware, Software, copy of the documentation they supply and someone may be able to help.

If they supply windows only software and there is no Linux equivilant then there are few options.
(me I own VMware for such disasters, but thats another story)
First up, details of the guts of the hardware - there my be something already out there if we know what it is.

Get the ethernet cable and then you use PPPoE - look for the roaring penguin package for you distro.

It needs to be set up on a windows machine first to put the username and password into the modem thingie they told me. That may be the case, I dont know for sure because I used it first on windows.

says it all.

boooooring - what has probe got to do with getting woosh running on linux? Get a life Mad-Mendez - your posts are dull and boorish (look it up in a dictionary)

Anyway - Baphomay, have a look at http://rodent.za.net/MyLinuxDrivers - this is some South African dude who has written a driver for the modem. Looks like you don't need to program the modem using windoze - looks like he gets it in there with an AT command on the modem - you don't need an ethernet cable either. The whole thing seems to handle the ppp session nicely.

Unfortunately i am no expert on linux, it seems you can only get the source code for the driver - but he has a step by step thing to get you up and going.

Hope that helps...

I see that with the Sveasoft firmware for the WRT54G/Ss they completely replaced the PPPoE code with the roaring penguin code. I can confirm that it made my router go from 190-210kbps to up to 270kbps which is what it should be at

I'm trying to make the transfer from XP to Linux but I can't find drivers for the Woosh PC card.
Any help appreciated.
