I did this but, when I try to "Activate" my modem,  Iget a message from 
"system-config-network":

    Cannot activate network device netwood!

    /sbin/ifup: configuration netwood not found.
    Usage: ifup <device name>

Can anybody tell me how to create a configuration for my ISP (netwood.net).
