Installing FRITZ!Box Fon ata in a Linux
Operating System
You have to be logged in as root to make the necessary set-
tings.
The example of SUSE Linux 9.1 is used here to describe how
to install FRITZ!Box Fon ata to the USB port in Linux.
1. Open the YaST Control Center.
2. Select the option “Network Devices” and click “Network
Card”.
3. The “Network cards configuration” dialog appears.
4. Select “Other (not detected)” and the “Configure...”
button.
5. The device type of the network in the “Manual network
card configuration” window should be set to “Ether-
net”. Select the “USB” check box as well and click
“Next”.
6. In the next dialog, “Network address setup”, select the
“Automatic address setup (via DHCP)” option. Click
“Next”.
7. For “Network cards to configure” select “Other (not de-
tected)”. Then click “Configure...”.
8. Changes to the configuration take effect when the “Fin-
ish” button is clicked.
In SUSE Linux 9.0, only one Ethernet adapter at a time can be
set to DHCP. If you have an additional network adapter, as-
sign it a fixed IP address. Otherwise problems may arise
with name resolution (cf. /etc/resolv.conf).
