- launching drakconf, "New Connection", "ADSL", "Sagem" (bug: eth2 was here too!), DNS auto.
- restart connexion? => "yes"

As I said on the mailing list, modem virtual interface is not activated automatically (unless you apply patchs to ifup-ppp and ifdown-ppp scripts, see
Mdk101RFE)

Other bugs
- bug 1
Instead of installing kernel-up-4Go (necessary for 1Go RAM), the installer choosed default kernel so only 900Mo are recognized.
[root@localhost root]# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal?: 905968 kB
I may be due to the fact I only used CD1
- bug 2
[root@ibmcrasher eagleusb]# ifup eth0
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
invalid argument .
