So far I have discovered that not having firmware.bin in the firmware subdirectory caused a fatal error in make. So that is a must have. The error listed alcaudsl.sys, mgmt.o and firmware.bin as not found. I have removed KQD6P2.eni from my firmware directory remade and recompiled I have made a separate copy of my 2.4.20 source tree and loaded menuconfig from with there. I found the USB Support details via the option called USB Support in the main list of options. I have uhci not ohci, and the Prelim USB device filesystem OHCI and UHCI Options all modularised as in the HOWTO. I also have EHCI (USB2.0) support (marked EXPERIMENTAL) as a module. In the same section following the Miscelleaneous and USB Host Controller Sections, I have USB Device Class Drivers allowing for MIDI, Mass Storage, Audio, (bluetooth is out cos I don't have a bluetooth system installed) and then, still in the class system I get these two modules listed USB Modem (CDC ACM Support) Alcatel Speedtouch USB Modem Support. !!! Both of these are listed M for modules. There s a lot of other configurable bits' including USB Cameras, Human Interface Devices, etc etc Now I know I did an upgrade from Suse and I am wondering if my 2.4.20 is patched to be somethingg else or has this install half worked and the last thing that isn't working is the modem itself because of the After that I hunted down the ppp section in Network Device Support and found that I have PPP as per the HOWTO plus a few other PPP modules selected, including PPP over ATM (EXPERIMENTAL) which is a selected as a module. Now it says in the module that I shouldn't need to patch n_hdlc.c beause I have 2.4.20 and the patch was included from 2.4.18 onwards. And all is fine with the Character devices section, the particular options being either included or modularised as per the HOWTO. I conclude therefore that the kernel is ok and ready to roll on this. I then get to the install the drivers section of the howto, which has me stumped a little cos I am on speedbundle not speedtouch. I assume they are the same thing. I've done that bit. Check for the existence of modem run and it's where it should be; try running it using absolute pathname and find i need su privileges. A plain run on modem_run comes back with a help message. Check /dev/*ppp* and find one ppp, sixteen ipppn, and sixteen pppoxn. Note I have pppd v2.4.2b3 and make a copy of /etc/ppp/options then edit the original. Make /etc/ppp/peers/adsl changing the VPI/VCI values appropriately. Check chap_secrets and pap_secrets are ok. Ad the four missing lines to modules.conf I had to add the alias /dev/ppp and all the alias tty-ldisc lines. The remainder were already in modules.conf. Verifications seem ok. All modprobes return nothing, and the mount records /proc/bus/usb is busy. Can't load the firmware because I haven't got alcaudsl.sys and I haven't made mgmt.o yet. Tried getting onto irc.openprojects.net only to find no server. pings give the same response tho I note the existence of www.openprojects.net So all I need to do is get that alcaudsl.sys or try mgmt.o Happy Christmas everybody :) Lesley -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
