i recently installed debian sarge by netinst minimal cd and the installer did

i have no router, it was a direct connection
this is a cable modem distributed by Optus which is a very large telco in
Australia so i am sure many people have this problem
debian needs a linux driver on floppy, the problem is motorola doesent make a
linux driver, i have searched extensively and found this is a common problem
among debian sarge users
strangely enough when using "damn small linux" which is a variant of debian,
for some reason it automatically detected my modem allowed me to browse
perfectly, this was the livecd version.
perhaps whatever it is that allows DamnSmallLinux to make this troublesome
modem work could it be put into debian

Why use USB? Use the 100mbps cat5 connector on the back :)
