Hi Eric,
I installed compatibility package libc207 and was then able to use the version
of modem_run that I have.
In case it is of interest, I modified the interfaces file with a bit of shell
script, so that the interfaces could be brought up and
down without ifup bailing out due to the USB device tree already being mounted.
Since I was also using two modems, I needed the -d
option. I haven't seen an example anywhere on the 'net, so I thought I'd post
it for the next person who Googles for running
multiple speedtouch modems...
#
# Option 1.3: PPP (Speedtouch 0)
#auto ppp0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
pre-up if [ ! -e /proc/bus/usb/001 ]; then mount none /proc/bus/usb -t
usbdevfs; fi
pre-up sleep 2
pre-up modem_run -s -m -d /proc/bus/usb/001/002 -f /lib/modules/mgmt.o
pre-up sleep 1
provider adsl0
# Option 1.4: PPP (Speedtouch 1)
#auto ppp1
iface ppp1 inet ppp
pre-up if [ ! -e /proc/bus/usb/001 ]; then mount none /proc/bus/usb -t
usbdevfs; fi
pre-up sleep 2
pre-up modem_run -s -m -d /proc/bus/usb/001/003 -f /lib/modules/mgmt.o
pre-up sleep 1
provider adsl1
I am still having some trouble with the next stage of the process - pppoatm.so
...
I am taking my instructions on the speedtouch configuration process from here...
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/suse/suse-9.2.html
>From what I can infer (and I can't actually find this explicitly confirmed),
>you don't really need the SpeedTouch specific pppoa2
and pppoa3 anymore, since there is now a generic ppp-over-adsl plugin module
for pppd i.e. pppoatm.so. Incidentally, if this is
correct, this may make compiling up the SpeedTouch drivers for Bering uClibc
easier, since modem_run is the only one that is now
needed, in order to upload the firmware to the modem. Anyway, back to the
current problem...
My provider script includes the line...
Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoatm.so 0.38
...0.38 being the VPI.VCI for my ISP
But invoking pppoatm reports unresolved symbols...
firewall# pppd call adsl
pppd: symbol '__dn_expand': can't resolve symbol
pppd: symbol '__res_search': can't resolve symbol
pppd: Unable to resolve symbol
pppd: Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoatm.so
I have tried running this with libc207 and libc225, in case they need the
compatibility library, but this doesn't help.
The version of pppoatm.so is 13372 bytes, dated 20th March 2005
The version of pppd is 199148 bytes, dated 20th March 2005
These are the current version on the Bering uClibc packages page.
I had a search round for this error message.
To fix this error when compiling fetchmail, it says you must add -lresov to the
LOADLIBS line in the makefile.
I found this here: http://fetchmail.berlios.de/fetchmail-FAQ.html
I hope the fix is as easy as this!
There is also something uClibc related here:
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.general/month=20040701
So any help or pointers you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
If you have anything you want me to test, I can report back quickly.
Best regards
Steve
