This computer I'm trying to get on the Internet is a Gateway it uses those small pci cards, that doesn't have a ethernet card in it, and I will have to use a rj45/USB ethernet adapter, does Verizon DSL modems have output ports for rj45 or USB connections.I have a rj45/USB ethernet adapter that works fine in Fedora.
FWIW I have DSLExtreme over a Verizon based landline connection. The
modem DSLExtreme uses is nothing more than a modem. You need to plug
Ethernet into the modem. And the network has to recognize your Ethernet
adapter's MAC address. For DSLExtreme that is as simple as playing with
their website at little. For Verizon - who knows what evil lurks....
I wonder what the story about FIOS and Linux might be....
