[speedtouch] Re: VPI/VCI problems

2004-01-19 Thread Chris Bolton

err no, I've followed the doc through on installing it but returns about a
million errors in /var/log/messages.  Does the kernel module tend to work
better?  I'll try and persue that route if so just so annoying that it only
seems to do this when using both modems.

  Ive tried the mentioned firmwre and it was worse than ever,  CRC Errors

  bothers me.  Every 10 mins or so for 2-3 mins. I've noticed though its

(2

 Does the kernel module work better?

Although the connection doesnt become unusable, only while the

a min or so (still very annoying) and then the conenction returns to normal.

Subject: [speedtouch] VPI/VCI problems


 Hello,

 I recently upgraded to beta3 and am now experiencing errors that never
occurred with beta1 (I skipped
 beta2). The errors relate to incoming ATM cells with wrong path/circuit
identifiers. For example,

  Cell had wrong VPI(1150)/VCI(62309) (OAM?) PTI=0x03

 After several hours, syslog reports that a cell has been received with
with a VPI and VCI of 0 and
 the connection becomes unusable. Is this a known problem?

 Regards, Steve.

 I've since started using different firmware and the situation is rather
better. I still
 get cells with wrong vpi/vci but I never get CRC errors (in fact I haven't
a single
 one since upgrading to beta3), never had a  USBDEVFS_BULK error and
 the connection stays up permanently.

 The firmware I am now using is KQD6P2.eni from the Thompson homepage

 http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip

 All other firmware files, despite working fine with beta1, cause the same
problems
 for me as I described in my original mail.

 Steve

2003-09-11 Thread Chris Bolton

Thank you,

Although I have the same firmware and modem_run files so its not that.  I
found out that it could be something to do with APIC and I've changed grub
so it loads the kernel with the noapic option, its better (touch wood) but
has done it once since changing it.  If it does it again I'll try what
Duncan says and change it to the USB 2 port etc.

Cheers

 modem_run: 1.2-beta1
 built from source last entry in change log:-

 
 31/01/2003
 - src/modem_run.c src/pusb.h src/pusb-linux.c src/pusb-bsd.c: GomGom
Added kernel module support into modem_run as an option -k
 - debian/changelog: GomGom
I am now the debian packager
 - Makefile.in (all): GomGom
Updated dist rules.
 

 I have not tried any of the newer versions or CVS etc as i am happy enough
for the minute!

 If this exact version is no longer avaible i can send the original tar

 I have not seen the entire thread so appologies if this has been said or
is just stupid!

 i also get the same error but it occurs infrequently, maybe once or twice
in a month, i have not seen a problem for many weeks now. The problem also
depends on which firmware i use. If i use the firmware from the CD it is
terrible, this problem occurs within an hour, if i use the acatel linux one
(can't remember which checksums or versions at the moment) it is much much
better, as stated above. This is repeatable for both my modems (home/work)
on a MDK9.0 and a MDK9.1 system. I never see the error at home as the system
is not up for long enough, my work system is up 24/7.

 Robin

 what firmware are you using (the modem_run from V1.2beta2 show you a
 reference)

 try with firmware.bin on the download page

 Do you use peer to peer on your network? You may need to limit connection
 number to avoid uplink congestion or use QOS

hmm I'm using the v1.2beta2 but still getting thos usb timeout errors.
Seems completly random though, stayed connected allnight and not a problem,
but had a load of those usb timeout errors this morning.  Once they start
they dont stop and accessing the internet becomes impossible.  the only way
I've found to cure it is to reboot :(

 Firt use V1.2beta2 of the driver
 Second don't mix PPPoA and PPPoE (waiting for PDO packet), you can use
 one of them with FT framework, don't know with LDCOM
 Third set you VPI/VCI according to your provider (on FT framework VPI=8,
 VCI=35 but it's not the same I think with LDCOM 'dégroupé' )

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
  That seems a bit excessive. Just unplug the modem and rerun modem_run
etc.
 However, the unloading of the USB module might be useful to automate the
 task.

I wish I could just unplug the modem, I forgot to mention its quicker to
reboot the machine than to walk all the way over to the comms room and back.
Unloading of the USB module didnt really help, pppd kept trying to redial
and so the firmware couldnt be reloaded as the modem was sortof in use.
Although I suppose I could of killed pppd oh well.

Cheers,

Chris

[speedtouch] correction

2003-09-04 Thread Chris Bolton

correction to my previous email...

the lines in the adsl peers file read

pty /usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -c -m 1 -d /proc/bus/usb/003/002 - vpi 0 -vci 38

and in the other file

pty /usr/local/sbin/pppoa3 -c -m 2 -d /proc/bus/usb/003/003 - vpi 0 -vci 38

the second file has the option -m 2 and not -m 1 as previously stated

[speedtouch] Re: RH9 and speedtouch USB green and club-internet HELP

2003-09-04 Thread Chris Bolton

Hi,

I've just started using Linux so by no means an expert but from what I've
found out by stumbling through my self is this...


 Sep  3 21:28:38 localhost modem_run[26577]: modem_run version 1.1rc1
 started by root uid 0
 Sep  3 21:28:44 localhost kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

 Sep  3 21:28:52 localhost kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout

I had loads of these errors myself and in one case stopped my from
connecting alltogether.  Solved it by downloading a different version of
modem_run.  I'm using version 1.2-beta2 (speedtouch-1.2-beta2.tar.gz)  and I
get 2 time out errors at the start and nothing else after.

 ...
 Sep  3 21:30:07 localhost pppd[26612]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0

 Sep  3 21:30:07 localhost pppd[26612]: ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP):
 Inappropriate ioctl for device(25)
 Sep  3 21:30:07 localhost pppd[26612]: tcflush failed: Input/output error
 Sep  3 21:30:07 localhost /etc/hotplug/net.agent: NET unregister event
 not supported
 Sep  3 21:30:07 localhost pppd[26612]: Exit.

As far as I know ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP):  Inappropriate ioctl for device(25)
means that modem_run failed to load the firmware, I suspect that if you get
another version of modem_run the timeout errors will cease and the firmware
will load correctly and the device will be found by pppd.

Like I siad I'm new to this as well so I might be wrong, but thats what I'd
do :)

Hope it helps.
