[speedtouch] silver modem
Hi, I have just got a silver modem and I'm unable to get it working with Gentoo. I have read on this list there seems to be issues with the firmware uploading (and I'd agree with this happening on mine also). I just wonder whether it is worth me keeping this modem, or getting a different type? Perhaps there is a fix for it already? Thanks. AJ.

As of yet, I haven't had the time to work on a fix, and I don't believe anybody else has either. I'm keeping my modem, I don't like to walk away from it. The choice is yours.

[speedtouch] Re: silver modem
This is the first time I have been able to get broadband, and as you could imagine I'm busting to use it!! :) I wish I was more technical so I could help, but I'm pretty useless in hardware things. How long does it usually take to get these types of things fixed, not that I am pushing, just for information so I can decide what to do (I only have 6 months use out of it). I appreciate you do it when you can of course. Thanks. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, one day one of the developers will get one of these modems and then all your problems will be solved... It will happen, but it may take a while. Of course, you could try to fix it yourself. Some work was already done towards fixing the firmware upload problems - what happened with that? Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: Silver Rev 4.00 SpeedTouch 330 firmware - progress?
Hi Lewis, Snooping the behaviour of the modem in windows, it would seem that it is doing something very different in the 'run tests' phase, but omitting the run tests phase from modem_run doesn't make the modem work. I would stress, however, that I have very little experience with USB, and interpreting the sniffed interactions, so I could be very, very wrong about this. I don't think you should take the name run tests too seriously. Remember, the whole thing was reverse engineered so we are just guessing as to what that step does. I guess it is some kind of extra initialization. At this point, I'm stuck, lacking the understanding of USB and the internals of the speedtouch to identify and fix the problem. Well, the thing to do is to log all the USB packets sent and received during this phase under windows, and try sending the same stuff in that part of modem_run. My guess, however, is that the firmware for the 4.00 behaves differently to the others in some way, rendering it incompatible with the linux driver. Hopefully, the 'french' firmware will be compatible with the 4.00, but behave in a way the linux driver can understand. A little bird tells me that the Thomson engineers may have a fix in the works. But I wouldn't let that hold you back. All the best, Duncan. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] Re: silver modem
If every owner of a silver speedtouch would mention the town, where they're living in, a willing developer in the neighbourhood could 'switch' modems for a while and take a look at it.. Would that be a good idea? Ok Duncan Sands wrote: On Friday 23 January 2004 09:14, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have justgot a silver modem and I'm unable to get it working with Gentoo.

[speedtouch] Re: silver modem
I'm another new USB Silver Thomson SpeedTouch 330 modem owner with firmware issues. I'm currently running it on a Windows ME box but ideally want to run it on a SUSE 8.2 linux router I have. What can I do to help? I have some programming skills and a bit of time to test stuff but don't have much firmware knowledge. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?? ed -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ok Overbeek (mz) Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 10:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [speedtouch] Re: silver modem If every owner of a silver speedtouch would mention the town, where they're living in, a willing developer in the neighbourhood could 'switch' modems for a while and take a look at it..

[speedtouch] Re: silver modem
Yes, I can certainly write code, well, browse it even :P, but firmware and hardware I'm pretty clueless, but willing to give it a try. Even if I get a new modem for the time being, it would be an interesting thing to play with and give me something to do! So, pointers to this sort of thing could be helpful.

[speedtouch] Speedtouch on Fedora Core 1 with 2.6 kernel
Dear all, I've succesfully installed the kernel-model driver for the (red) Speedtouch USB modem on a standard Fedora Core 1 installation using the HOWTO from Eric Brasseur (see http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/speedbundle_fedora.html). Next, I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6 by using the HOWTO from Jorge Gallegos (see http://www.fedoranews.org/jorge/howto/howto01.shtml). However, after rebooting into the 2.6 kernel, the Speedtouch modem isn't working (as I more or less expected). What are the required steps to get it to work? Should I redo the procedure as outlined by Eric Brasseur (i.e. reinstall speedbundle)? Or is there another way of doing this. Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards, Emiel.

Did you turn on support for the kernel module in your 2.6 kernel .config? Ciao, Duncan. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
