Yes, that's it.
Transcribing the call was something like:
Me: Hi, I would to install my own cable modem and cancel the modem rent.
ISP: Ok, you can use your own cable modem but you have to install it yourself.
Me: How can I do that?
ISP: Just connect the power and the coaxial cable and that's it.
Me: But I already did that and the modem can't get an IP address, I think you have to allow my HMAC or something.
ISP: I can't help you with that, we used to do that about a year ago and charge for it once but now this service is suspended.
Me: But how can I use my modem then?
ISP: Sorry, we can't help, you have to install it yourself.
Her assumed there is a way to activate the modem by myself but I think it's lack of knowledge of the attendant that the ISP doesn't allow that (although I see no reason to not allow).
I guess there is a HMAC filter on the network.
These hacked firmwares is supposed to allow changing it? If they allow I will have trouble to configure it properly?
I looked some posts and users always quotes about a certificate that I have no clue how it works.
