Finally I got connected to internet with my Tata Indicom Bipac 7000
USB ADSL modem!
I have P3 machine and I installed slackware 11 on it recently.
The steps to setup the modem are as follows:
- downloaded and compiled cxacru-fw utility.
- using cxacru-fw and the Windows modem driver, extracted firmware and
placed it in /lib/firmware (as cxacru-fw.bin).
- downloaded br2684ctl source code.
- it requires libatm and headers, which are in linux-atm-2.4.1 package.
- compiled linux-atm-2.4.1 on following configuration:
slackware linux 11 (kernel version 2.6.17.13
gcc version 3.4.6
This required following changes in the source code of linux-atm-2.4.1:
src/lib/sapequal.c: match_blli()
src/sigd/proto.c: send_release(), send_release_complete()
src/maint/enitune.c: main()
<Note>
I don't know if this is a problem with the source code OR with my
compiler OR
with my grey matter, but the problem with the linux-atm source code
was with "switch"
construct. It was something like this:
switch (xyz)
{
case a: ... ...
break;
default:
}
The compile generated error here. The so-called "fix" is:
switch (xyz)
{
case a: ... ...
break;
default:
break; /* ADDED THIS */
}
This seems to work. Can somebody enlighten me about this?
</Note>
- installed compiled libatm (library and headers)
- compiled br2684ctl utility (and copied it to /usr/local/sbin)
- gave following commands:
/usr/local/sbin/br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 0.32
/sbin/ifconfig nas0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
- used rp-pppoe for link activation since I wanted it on-demand only.
Hope this will be of some help to people trying to configure this
particular modem on
slackware 11.
Best regards,
Atul.
