Hi John,

I've used a Sangaom S518 with a net4801. The basic process is:

- use their setup script to create a wanpipe1.conf on another system
- copy wan_adsl.list too, if you are using PPPoA
- use their setup script to compile the open source parts of the driver
  and link to the binary ADSL modules
- copy all modules, wanconfig, wanpipemon

On boot:

- modprobe wanpipe
- run "wanconfig card "$card" start -a /etc/wanpipe/wan_adsl.list"
  where $card is wanpipe1, if you are using PPPoA
- otherwise just "wanconfig card $card start"
- ifconfig your interface up and it will start trying to connect

If you are using PPPoE, tell pppd to start connecting on that interface.
For PPPoA it should take care of itself - the authentication is handled by
the driver.
