Product: drakxtools
Component: DrakConnect
Summary: connection to Free D�group� with sagem fast800 to be
adapted
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-17mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: DrakConnect
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Following bug 5690, there's still some work to achieve to make it work flawlessly
Here's the translation from a thread on eagle-usb forum
http://fast800.tuxfamily.org/forums/read.php?f=1&i=6761&t=6761
- in /etc/analog/adiusbadsl.conf, replace
VCI=00000024 (instead of 23) and Encapsulation=00000004 (instead of 6)
- files pap-secrets and chap-secrets are modified, which is useless as ppp is
not used with Free D�group�, /etc/ppp/peers/adsl does not seem created though
(which is correct)
- connection in action tries to launch both dhclient and dhcpd (one should be
enough, static configuration may be better in the end, just a suggestion below)
: erasing dhclient package makes it work correctly (to be reproduced)
Doing all this, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up launches dhcpcd and
establishes the connection (as soon as Free makes it's own work).
Suggestion : dhcpcd is an heresy IMHO, asking for the static IP may be better in
order to configure (and establish) the connection, which would happen this way
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 @ip_static netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/route add default gw IP_GATEWAY
ip_static should be asked to the user (there's *always* a way to know it, either
with an URL or with a mail from the ISP)
I haven't yet found a way to determine IP_GATEWAY automatically : it depends on
the interface which is mounted.
This static manner of connection is correct for Telefonica "IP fija" in Spain as
the eagle-usb driver - formerly known as adiusbadsl - works with Sagem Fast800,
Comtrend CT-350 and AT-AR215 as well, modems distributed by many ISP worldwide
France, Spain, Germany, Poland, England to name a few... (VCI may have to be
adapted, though).
