Well there's a similar incident on MandrakeExpert... incident n� 72614
Thanks Clement, your description is very correct, I had not though of adding
internet start to startadsl script, that will do for others.
I still propose to work with Mandrake for the next version of the driver.
We have a developement wiki available here :
http://fast800.tuxfamily.org/eagledev/ and integration is running here
http://fast800.tuxfamily.org/eagledev/wakka.php?wiki=DeveloppementIntegration

First step would be to stabilize Drakconnect with eagle-usb 1.0.4 version before
moving to latest.

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).
