Re: SMC tech support CLUELESS online led not according to manual NEW ADSL

I telephoned the dealer who brought me a Linksys AG241.
We plugged it in and filled out just a few lines in the
setup screen. It worked immediately. I got on Google
and got an instant reply to a query. So I sent the SMC
back to the dealer who said that had been the experience
of his other clients with SMC.

I'll probably figure out a way to get in trouble with the
Linksys but for now I am really happy to move from
SMC to Linksys.

Thanks for all your help.
BTW after plugging in the Linksys
ifconfig
ifstatus eth0
and route -n
all show a nice amount of helpful info
and there are no errors.

Also the Linksys has a Internet led that starts red
then turns to green after correct setup.
I think it is the equivalent to the SMC online led
that just blinked occassionaly after setup.
