Hello IVAN_BEAR_VODKA, welcome to the Forums.

One way is to configure them in Yast to start “on cable connect”. Then plug the cable into one of them and run this console command: sudo /sbin/ifconfig
The results will tell you which one switched on and got an IP address.

I like tittle of this thread, it describes my situation…

I got first Linux ever installed last night, Open Suse 11 with GNOME…

Anyway…First thing that got me is, it’s probably because I don’t know the interface…

But how do I make ADSL connection with it? It’s also a custom provider and

modem is speedtouch…

Anyone able to clear up me with brief instructions, I would really appreciate it…
