Starting from SuSE Linux version 7.1, you can also perform the installation with YaST2. For more information, check the article --> ./hoe_adsl_pppoe.html.

If you use a SuSE Linux version prior to 7.0, please check the article --> hoe_adsl_pppoe_vor70.html.

The following information only applies to kernel versions 2.2.x. If you use a 2.4 series kernel, please first read --> jsmeix_adsl-71-kernel24.html.
