How to set up USB ADLS modem on Mint

[thebluesky]

I can boot and run the latest version of Mint Debian 64 from my flash disk..even though I see some a few warnings at startup, I am able to run the system smoothly.My only problem I have so far is that I dont know how to set up my UBS ADSL modem..It can only connect via USB..

I use Alcatel Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB

And when I write "lsusb" on " the monitor" I get this

mint@mint ~ $ lsusb

It is detected by your system so it should be configurable.

You are using Network Manager for this and I am not real familiar with it but if you click on your network applet on the panel you should be able to do it with the gui I think. Make sure that it is set for "auto-ethx" where "x" is 0 or 1 and that networking is enabled.

If you find it is set for auto-eth0 just try changing that to auto-eth1.
