i can do to reach these interface is it the terminal
window or what

thanks for help

Unfortunately,you are using 10.1 ( i take it that is openSUSE & not SLED ) there are no updates that will be automatically installed via YaST. All and any updates you require will have to be hand-compiled. The best thing to do in this situation,is, update to a newer version that is still supported,i.e. 10.3/11.0/11.1

I agree with deltaflyer. openSUSE-10.1 is old and not supported any more. If your hardware is moderately new, it will not be supported, and any time spent trying to configure the sound to work with the hardware will be a waste of time.

after upgrade to 11.1 now how far i need to define my speed touch 330 usb so i can access internet

this version seems have alot of problems it show me a lot of errors

thanks for help

Trying to get help on a “speed touch 300 usb” on openSUSE-11.1 with the title “suse 10.1 problem” in the thread is not likely to garner the attention that you need. I recommend you start a new thread in the wireless section of our forum with the title: “suse-11.1 - speed touch 300 usb wireless help needed”.

thanks for reply

but iam ask for dsl connection not wireless “pppoe protocol”

OK, then create the appropriate title. … That was just intended as an example. I know nothing about the hardware.

The point is, don’t use a title that is “openSUSE-11.1 problem” as its not a good title.
