EciADSL & rp-pppoe over Zyxel Prestige 630-41

[TC207]

Linux noob here.. I need some help :confused:
I have this USB-ADSL Modem (Zyxel Prestige 630-41), which works fine on Win2K.
Anyways, I installed Fedora a few days ago... Zyxel does not do any drivers for Linux, so I took EciADSL (which says it supports my modem). I installed rp-ppoe too...
It seems like these two (modem driver & rp-pppoe) don't find themselves...
And I'm too much of a newbie to know how to make them find each other.
has anyone ever done anything similar?
How do I get them to work together to bring me online?

Every bit of help appreciated.. Thanx!

first check to see it is linux compatible www.linuxhardware.net

second open terminal and type: /sbin/lsmod and post it here

[TC207]

Good morning!

I checked on LinuxHardWare.net and there it says it's partially supported (where some forum folks there mean they can put it on green as it works for them...)
I've heard of other people using it successful, so there must be a way - just nobody was able to tell me how until now... :(

Not really clear, right? As there seems to be no device at all on the USB...
But:
root@localhost root]# probe_device.sh

WARNING: before probing, please ensure that your USB devices are plugged in
and that your system's USB support is properly configured

USB modem to probe must be UNinitialized, it will surely appear as an unknown
