Hi there, I've been trying to get the Alcatel drivers to work, and have run into a problem listed at Johan's HOWTO: http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/howto.html To quote: > If this shows something like: > > kernel: usb.c: registered new driver Alcatel SpeedTouch USB > Speedmgmt[1234]: Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Management daemon started. > Speedmgmt[1234]: (C) Alcatel 2001 > Speedmgmt[1234]: bulk_write: Invalid argument > Speedmgmt[1234]: bulk_read: Invalid argument > Speedmgmt[1234]: bulk_write: Invalid argument > Speedmgmt[1234]: bulk_read: Invalid argument > Speedmgmt[1234]: USBDEVFS_SUBMITURB: Invalid argument > > Then you forgot to mount usbdevfs! > Check whether you added the line to /etc/fstab. If you have, type: > mount -a > > If this does not work, check whether you have enabled the usbdevice > filesystem in you kernel configuration. I have this filesystem mounted on /proc/bus/usb as described earlier in the HOWTO, and I have CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS turned on in my kernel config. I am using the following setup: HP Vectra Pentium 233 MMX with USB Mandrake Linux 7.2 Kernel 2.4.3 (with pppoatm-1 and speedtouch-2.4.1-patch) atm-devel-0.78-5.i386.rpm hotplug-2001_02_28-1.noarch.rpm modutils-2.4.3-5mdk.i586.rpm pciutils-2.1.8-102.i386.rpm pciutils-devel-2.1.8-102.i386.rpm ppp-2.4.0-2.src.rpm usbutils-0.7-101.i386.rpm speedmgmt-1.3.1.tar.gz I think I've followed everything in the HOWTO accurately, the only thing which is making me suspicious at the moment is the kernel version, since all the info I've seen is for 2.4.[012] and not 2.4.3 The kernel config help for CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS lists the location of the filesystem as /proc/usb instead of /proc/bus/usb - could this have any bearing on the problem? The hotplugging is all working, and I see the modem show up when plugged in and disappear when removed, so I think that part of it is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do all the versions of the related software I've installed match up with what others are using? Thanks, Corin PS Johan - I've got the following suggestions for the speedmgmt.tar.gz download on the Alcatel web site: i) rename it to include the version number, and repeat it in the INSTALL file and ii) make the directory it unpacks to have the same name as the archive less the .tar.gz bit (i.e. speedmgmt-1.3.1) I think these will both help to ensure everyone knows what version they have... /------------------------+-------------------------------------\ | Corin Hartland-Swann | Tel: +44 (0) 20 7491 2000 | | Commerce Internet Ltd | Fax: +44 (0) 20 7491 2010 | | 22 Cavendish Buildings | Mobile: +44 (0) 79 5854 0027 | | Gilbert Street | | | Mayfair | Web: http://www.commerce.uk.net/ | | London W1K 5HJ | E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \------------------------+-------------------------------------/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
