[speedtouch] Re: New to Linux
Andy I feel that I'm inching closer to resolving this issue (with your guidance). I copied the speedtch files over as directed and now have flashing modem lights during boot up. However, it still hasn't made a connection. I'm still a bit suspicious about this resolv.conf file in /etc. It is showing a broken link to the same named file in /etc/ppp but the file does not exist in the latter location. Do you think this is another problem area?

[speedtouch] Re: New to Linux
Andy Seems you've hit a nail on the head! I looked at the folder /lib/firmware it contains a folder entitled 2.6.15-23-386 which in turn contains a folder entitled acx along with several files. However, nowhere is there a sign of speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin. When I run the command ls -l /lib/firmware I get the result: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-05-31 01:53 2.6.15-23-386 speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin do exist in my home folder, so I suppose my questions are now: 1) how do I get them to where they should be; 2) how do I recreate the resolv.conf file to mend the broken link I previously mentioned; 3) what else do I need to do?? Sorry for appearing so thick about this but, as I said, I'm completely new to Linux and don't want to throw the towel in before I've given it a chance! Thanks for you help and patience.

So do you have the correct firmware for your modem in /lib/firmware? There should be two files, speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin what do you get when you run the command ls -l /lib/firmware Andy Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
