I’ve just installed opensuse 12.3 on my pc and faced a problem . I have a dsl connection with Tp-link Td-8811 modem . I configured my modem on pppoe so it will connect to internet automatically whenever it’s available (in windows and ubunto the computer is connected without doing anything) but in suse there is no connection. the Lan led on my modem is off and I couldn’t find any lan connection or setting in suse to fix that
(my modem was off during the installation process)
sry for bad english
Did you try YaST > Network Devices > Modem?
And when you had your modem switched off during installation, you can hardly blame the installer not finding it.
If your adsl modem is connected with PC through ethernet cable then you just need to get working your Ethernet connection on your openSUSE 12.3 desktop. It can be configured in Yast/Network settings.
thanks , problem solved
and I didn’t blame , I’ve just mentioned that so readers know why the modem isn’t recognized in first place
