As I said before, I have subscribed power line broad band in July. This broad band use a power line modem and require device driver to function. The provider only provide drivers under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, what a narrow range! However, I found FC4 provided dial-up networks, and I accidentally use DSL for a try, hey, it really works! SUSE also support this kind of modem, I don't know how, it even recognized it as a PLC device and automaticly filled user name and password for the first setup. Is the account information stored in the modem? pppoe is supported in linux, and this power line network is just using pppoe, however, I have no idea about pppoe, and this power line network.
Well, well, I can dial up in linux now, there is one problem not solved, without an accompanied driver, I cannot check the power line quality, and set network device password. If something is wrong, a windows system with device driver is required to reset the modem, I think.
