</I>Nope, it will be only useful if you have the same bug with wireless as Kristoffer,
won't help you with the DSL (pppoe, i suppose?) setup at all.
And please don't top-post ;)

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> If you read Yes somewhere in the output you type rfkill unblock all or

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Type following as root: rmmod -f and the name of the module that the card uses.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Type modprobe followed by modulename to load the module again.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Afterwards I'd disable eth0-interface by typing ifdown eth0 as root.
