I'm seeing a lot of driver issues from this DSL modem with other Linux users. It's possible that the latest kernel for SuSE could support this, and would not surprise me. What version of SuSE are you using? After your system starts, go into the terminal, and type:

dmesg | grep usb

Post what was displayed, if anything.

This is the output I obtained when i typed dmesg | grep usb :

usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #2 chosen from 2 choices

I'm using Suse 10 version..
