Hi Pavel, the user-mode (UM) and kernel-mode (KM) drivers both work
fine with 2.6 kernels. As far as I can see your problem is that you are
trying to use them both at the same time! pppoa3 is part of the UM driver.
The -k switch is for the KM driver. The modem_run program is used by
both drivers.
If you want to use the user-mode driver, try adding the following line to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist:
speedtch
(I never tried this myself, but it should work. Otherwise you can delete
the file /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/speedtch.ko)
If you want to use the kernel mode driver, then you need a pppd with
pppoatm support (most distributions supply one). You need to set some
pppd options: create a file /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch containing:
# To connect to using this configuration file, do
# pppd call speedtch
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 3
noipdefault
defaultroute
user "username"
noauth
noaccomp
nopcomp
noccp
novj
holdoff 4
persist
maxfail 25
updetach
usepeerdns
plugin pppoatm.so
0.00
You'll need to replace username with your ADSL username.
You'll also need to add a line like this to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
and to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets:
username * password
where username is the same ADSL username you used above,
and password is the password your ISP gave you.
Finally, you can launch the connection automatically by creating
a file called /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtch containing
#!/bin/bash
case $ACTION in
add)
echo "uploading firmware"
if /usr/sbin/modem_run -k -f /usr/lib/speedtouch/firmware.bin ; then
sleep 10
echo "starting pppd"
if ! /usr/sbin/pppd call speedtch ; then
echo "failed to start pppd!"
fi
else
echo "firmware upload failed!"
fi
;;
esac
This assume that modem_run lives in /usr/sbin, and that the firmware
is in /usr/lib/speedtouch. You'll probably want to change this line if you
have a recent "two firmware files" modem_run. You can always start
the connection by hand by running modem_run, and then doing
pppd call speedtch when you want to bring the connection up.
I hope this helps,
Duncan.
