Hi When I use the ubuntu live CD, I can set up my modem, using pppconfig, (a standard serial port 56k, detected by Suse, Mandrake , Debian etc). When I install Ubuntu, I get "no network devices detected" I have tried pppconfig with TTYS0 etc, but obviously this does not work. Any ideas please? Regards Nick Daniels

Seems fair, as that usually means ethernet or similar, not serial ports.

Why is it obvious that this does not work? What does it say?
Do you have a /dev/ttyS0 or a /dev/tty/s0 or similar? Does dmesg mention serial ports at all? Does "setserial -v" output interesting stuff?
