i don't think you need to set up a dsl device on your linux box.  try
deleting that device.  the ethernet card should do all the communicating
from your speedstream to your box.  the speedstream should do all the
adsl stuff.

after you have only the ethernet device on your linux box, do ifconfig
and see if you've obtained an ip address.
