> Ok lets start with what i have

Please do.

> a modem which says eth0

You don't have "a modem which says eth0". I doubt it says anything at all.

What is it? Who made it, what model is it? What connectors does it have,
and which ones are you using?

> showing up as ethernet not modem

That's because it probably isn't a modem. What I'm trying to find out is
what it is - again, please tell us what you have, not what use you think
you will make of it.

> an isp with a phone number.

Well that's a good start.

> in windows i install Broadcom BCM 4401 driver

You're not running windows. You already have drivers for the BCM440x
chipset - and that's an ethernet interface.

> help me.

I want to know what kit you have. At this stage, you can either tell me,
or else you can fail to get anything working. It really is your choice...

Look at the piece of kit you claim is a modem. Type the name of the
manufacturer you find on it into a reply to this email. Do the same for
the model number. Do the same for all the connections on it, noting which
you are using and which you are not.
