Help creating a PPPOE connection

Hello, I finally installed FC6. But I'm facing few problems. FC6 didn't install my VGA and Sound Card drivers and I'm not being able to create a PPPOE connection to be able to download the drivers.

Please help with that.

So far, I went to: System >> Administration >> Network

And created a device for my network card which is automatically detected but it's still inactive and I cannot activate it because my internet doesn't use IPs, it's automatically detected.
And another xDSL connection for the pppo which is not working as well.

So please help

Mine does not need pppoe setup.

On device eth0,

It just: "Activate device when computer starts"
and: "Automatically obtain IP address settings with dhcp"
and: "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider"

I did not have to touch anything.

Yes, but my connection needs a username and password provided via PPPoE. Even I have to enter the service name which is Mnets/PRB.
I'm now online using a different connection which doesn't require PPPoE. But please, I need to know how to make the PPPoE connection.

Thanks man, I guess that should solve everything up.
I'm not home to test it right now, but I will be replying tomorrow to see telling you the result of it.
Thanks again.

Now back to the YUM problem.
