ok, heres the million pound question.

how the hell do i set the modem up using a net card. my computer has an onboard NIC (intel). the NIC is detected by all linux distros (obviously) its assigned eth0, i plugged the ethernet cable into my computer and modem. then ran the command:
dhcpcd -d

the console window hung for a while then back to the prompt, but no net service.

i tried booting using a knoppix CD (USB modem works on knoppix cuz its smart), but ethernet didnt.

By the way my NIC is definately working cuz i've tested it.

Help me Please!
