Can't change speed with a L298N

I want to use a L298N to control an electric motor.
When the protection for the ENA pin is on, the motor run, but without me beeing able to control the speed.
And when I take of the protection and conect the ENA pin to my MEGA, the motor stops and refuses to run.

I've tried 2 differents L298N with the same problem.
And I've also tried with the ENB and same problem.

Do you have an idea why I have this issue ? And if so, how can I fix it ?
Thanks for your help.

You missed to connect ENA to an Arduino PWM pin, whose duty cycle will affect the motor speed.

Instead of writing so much explanation you could have shared a schematic. Now we have to guess and this is not our strong point - after all, we are in a forum for electronics and not for psychics. Do you have a common ground connection?
