[wplug] ADSL (Verizon) newbie cannot connect

[Guy Patten]

You shouldn't have to force the card.  I suspect that it's something in 
your firewalling, maybe you need to take a close look at your iptables. I 
use verizon but run it into an all D-Link network (530TX NIC's and a 
cable/dsl router firewall) Mandrake detected and set it up upon install 
with no problems.
