"Setting up your cable modem using an Ethernet card is exactly like setting up your computer to join a network that uses DHCP. Don't worry if that sounds a bit
confusing as in Linux networks that use DHCP are by far the easiest to setup.
I'm writing this guide mainly aimed at Red Hat Linux/Fedora Core but many of the processes described here may well be the same for other Linux distributions.
In this guide I'm going to show you 3 different ways of setting up your cable modem. The first will be via a program called neat this runs in a GUI such as KDE or Gnome. Secondly I'll show you how to setup the cable modem using a program called netconfig this can be run either in a terminal window or at the command line and is useful if you aren't running a GUI. Finally I'll show you how to setup your cable modem manually by creating all the necessary configuration files that Linux needs to setup a network card"
