[speedtouch] Re: speedtouch connexion randomly fails
Hi Denis, this error indicates some kind of data corruption when talking with the modem, usually due to some kind of electrical problem (bad cable, interference etc). Anyone knows how to solve this problem ? Try plugging it into a different USB port, and also make sure that the cable is far away from any causes of electrical interference (such as power cables, the insides of your computer etc). For example, if it was plugged into the front of your computer try plugging it into the back. Ciao, Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch line going down under Linux
Hi Ed, pop up every 10 minutes. What is strange is that this behavior does not happen under WindowsXP. Distributions like OpenSuSE however suffer from this problem. Ubuntu 9.04 is even worse. Under Unbuntu, the modem is more busy with synchronizing than with serving my connection. perhaps the modem needs newer firmware to handle these speeds. Are you using the same firmware as with windows XP? It may also be that the modem needs to be initialized differently (all kinds of mysterious stuff happens at modem initialization time, and it's not clear what it is). In the windows .inf file you may find settings like BMaxDSL, ModemMode and ModemOption, perhaps not with exactly those names. These seem to be important parameters, and we managed to implement them as module parameters for the speedtch module. The default values are 8128, 11 and 0x10,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x20 respectively. Try changing these to the values you see in your .inf file. The values can be set using modprobe. Good luck, Duncan.

Hi Giampaolo, Duncan, what about adding speed, signal strength, agreed ADSL standard and bins composition to the driver's procfs file? Unfortunately I don't know how to get anything except the speed.

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch line going down under Linux
Hi Ed, A search through the WindowsXP directory brought to light that the very old file alcaudsl.sys is still there. Not a suprise as I used the installation disk from 06-06-2002 to load the speedtouch driver under WindowsXP after I had installed WindowsXP. So I suppose it is the one used by WindowsXp. file: /Windows/C/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/alcaudsl.sys md5sum: 8080b5ea17a763bbce6c92bbc6ceefe8 The firmware files that I have been using for years for all Linux distributions are: /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin md5sum: be58aef97d8435dce070c96574c06564 /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin md5sum: 4dc23adb72007919f30d50ebcf222f8a I tried to find the .inf files that contain the words you mentioned using search commands like: grep -rsiH modem /Windows/C/WINDOWS/* | grep -rsi option grep -rsiH DSL /Windows/C/WINDOWS/* | grep -rsi Max but none had anything the like. try searching for alcaudsl. I only find the files /Windows/C/WINDOWS/inf/oem8.inf /Windows/C/WINDOWS/inf/oem9.inf that contain words like speedtouch or alcatel. So, as a consequence, I do not find any parameter information. Suppose I boot into WindowsXP, is there some manner in which I can retrieve information about the parameters you mentioned? Not really. You can use a usb snooper to see what windows is sending to the modem, but that's not for the faint hearted. Do you see the message OAM not supported in dmesg output? Ciao, Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: is there a way to force firmware loading on RO-root filesystem?
Hi, I have been using speedtouch-330's for a few years now with LFS-based machines. I recently upgraded to kernel 2.6.25.8 and Linux-atm-2.5.1) and all works fine with a system with a hard-disk. When I switch to a mirror system running from a CDROM, the modem is recognised but the firmware fails to load. (It fact it loads but only after the machine is booted and the object of the exercise is to have dialup on booting). ok. In desperation, I tried running ,/lib/udev/firmware.sh but I get the response udev firmware loader misses sysfs directory I would be grateful is someone could explain what this means. Most likely it means sysfs is not mounted. Try mounting it like this: mount sysfs -t sysfs /sys More importantly I am wondering is there a way to force firmware loading? If you unload the module (rmmod) and reinsert it (modprobe) then it will re-initialize the modem and reload the firmware. I hope this helps, Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: i get the provider's configure your setting page
Hi, the fact you see a web-page supplied by your ISP shows that the modem is working: network packets are getting from your ISP to you. I don't know why your ISP thinks things are not configured right (you can always ask them to tell you what's wrong), but my guess is that you authenticated wrong, i.e. used the wrong username or password. These are stored in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. i don't know how to do the debug thing. How do you run pppd? Use the same command but add debug to the list of command line options. Debug output either goes to the terminal or to your system logs (/var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog usually). Ciao, Duncan.

Should quotation marks, double and single, be omitted from script entered in text editor? In the section Make a Bootscript, should the letters fi actually be if? Any assistance would be appreciated as this is my first attempt @ Linux and I have been trying to get online for 5 days. Normally everything should be entered exactly as on the webpage (except that bold entries indicate something which you need to replace with your own info, for example username needs to be replaced with your username, etc). The simplest way to do this is using cut and paste. If you only have an internet connection under windows, trying saving the web-page to disk. If you can access the windows disk from linux then you should be able to display the web-page under linux by specifying it in a web-browser. Otherwise try copying it to a USB key then opening it in a web-browser from the USB key. Once you have the web-page shown in a web-browser under linux, then you can select text in it using the left mouse button, and paste into a console by clicking the middle mouse button.

[speedtouch] Re: SpeedTouch 330, ubuntu 7.10, modem disconnects after some time
Hi, I have serious problem with my SpeedTouch 330 modem. Lately i have changed motherboard in my home router. Since then i get random disconnections. Sometimes my connection last for 10 hours, somethimes 20,and it maybe 1 hour as well. After disconnection i can't reconnect it until i reboot my server. First of all there is no way to unload USBATM module. It just stucks. you need to unload the speedtch module. And when i re-synchronize modem and try to use PPPD CALL SPEEDTCH again, it tires to connect and gives up after some time. The previous pppd may still be running - try killing it first. If that doesn't help, send in the contents of the file(s) /proc/net/atm/speed* I really don't know how to hande this problem. My isp is using PPPoE. Here are my logs that i thought maybe useful in this case: ... Nov 2 22:24:16 szymon firmware_helper[9799]: main: error loading '/lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin.2.00' for device '/class/firmware/1-1:1.0' with driver 'spee$ - BUT FIRMWARE IS LOADED ANYWAY AFTER THESE ERRORs. So i really don't know what is his problem. Next: The driver tries to look for different firmware files based in the modem's revision (notice how the suffix changes). Some distributions make the generic firmware loading mechanism complain if a firmware file isn't found (I don't know why - surely it is up to the driver to complain if it is unhappy?) and it seems like yours is one of these. Ignore these errors. Nov 2 22:24:12 szymon kernel: [ 4661.044000] ATM dev 0: usbatm_complete: urb 0xc7770900 failed (-2)!

Nov 2 22:20:12 szymon kernel: [ 4421.592000] ATM dev 0: usbatm_complete: urb 0xc63e6de0 failed (-2)! This is what happens, more or less after disconnection. This means that something unpleasant has happened to your modem. If this is immediately after or before disconnection and doesn't last for long, it is harmless - it just means that the disconnection hadn't yet been reported to the driver yet (so it keeps trying to send packets, but these fail because the modem is not there anymore): it can take a little while ( 1 second though) for the USB core to report disconnections to drivers. As for why it disconnects in the first place, hard to say. Lots of people seem to have this problem, and as you noticed it seems to be related to the kind of motherboard... Maybe the modem is not getting enough power, or the USB cables are too long or passing too close to a source of electromagnetic interference? Try plugging the modem into a different usb port (eg: one on the back of the computer if you were using one on the front before), and try to keep cables away from other cables or possible sources of interference.

[speedtouch] Re: SpeedTouch 330, ubuntu 7.10, modem disconnects after some time
The biggest problem is that only reboot of system helps for this situation. I can't unload usbatm module, even after unloading speedtch and uhci_hcd first. That is not normal. What does lsmod say? What kernel version do you have? Killing all pppd doesn't help either. Module is busy, and when i use force option, i get error that module is temporarily unavailible. The same is for usbcore. And i have to reboot computer, because ppp hangs up. Do you think that PCI usb controller, or maybe newer speedtouch revision will help? ( have 2.00 currently). I don't know. Ciao, Duncan.

Hi Tomy, AAL5: tx 0 ( 0 err ), rx 0 ( 0 err, 0 drop ) this shows that no packets reached the speedtch driver, let alone the modem - not surprising that you're not seeing much connectivity! Something fundamental is broken in the way you have things configured. Perhaps you could paste *exactly* the commands you used to configure (with any output, errors etc).

Hi Tommy, For me VPI = 8, and VCI = 35 and netmask is 255.255.0.0. the IPs of the nameservers are given in /etc/resolv.conf. What else do I need to do? I'm not sure why you mention the IP of your nameservers - this is not the same as the gateway IP. So... do you know your IP address and the IP of your gateway (which may well be similar to your IP address, only with the last digits changed). Ciao, Duncan.

Hi Tommy, For several days I have been trying to configure my speedtouch usb modem on my gentoo box. I tried the documentation for gentoo at http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/gentoo/index.html But I have not been sucessful. I am connected to a LAN with a static ip address, netmask gateway and dns. I do not have a password or a username. I am not sure whther I need to take the connection as PPPoA or PPPoE. My connection through a USB port. So I assume that it is PPPoA. The properties of the workibng connection in my window partition is as follows: Connection VPI 8 VCI 35 Type: RFC 1483B Encapsulation: LLC FCS: Automatic ADSL type: POTS Adsl Mode: Gdmt.A try the following procedure. This assumes your ISP is using routed ip. It doesn't use ppp/pppd at all, however you will need to have atmarp and atmarpd installed (from the atm-tools package, dunno what gentoo calls it). You will need to do this as root.

I'm currently set up for PPPoATM. You have an old pppd hanging around from Dapper. You probably had to install it yourself, right? I think the pppd that comes with Edgy can handle all this stuff, so I suggest you simply install that instead. Good luck! Duncan.

You seem to be right about the version though. I only have one PPPD executable in /usr/sbin. It's dated 10th July 2006 which usually means it came with Dapper. I asked on the Ubuntu forum to see if there's a newer version but nobody responded. apt-cache show ppp This might be significant though inside the folder /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/ I found a file called pppoatm.so. I renamed it to rp-pppoatm.so and after that I seem to be getting slightly further.

Or, if it is plugged in, then it has not initialized, or has been logically disconnected. and typing apt-cache show ppp produced this output:- Version: 2.4.4rel-1ubuntu1 This looks to be the same as the version you already have.

Ok, that helped a bit. I am now getting a more consistent 3Meg, but this is still only half what I can get on the ISP-supplied router. One thing I'm noticing is that IRQ's are taking up a lot of CPU time (5-10%). Could this have something to do with it? Or is 3Meg the most I am likely to get from a rev0? I don't think you'll ever get much more than that from a rev0. With a rev4 you need to use enable_isoc=1 to go really fast.

Here's the output you requested of :cat /proc/net/atm/devices Itf Type ESI/Macaddr AAL(TX,err,RX,err,drop) ... [refcnt] Hope that sheds some light - because I have no idea what it means. It means that the modem failed to initialize properly, or initialized ok but the device was disconnected (eg because of electrical problems or because some part of your system forced a logical disconnect). The usual reason for failing to initialize is that there was a problem uploading the firmware. You said that was ok, so that leaves the other possibility.

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before, but an archive search on error 253 produced no results. Any ideas regarding this modem_run error 253 with openSuSE 10.2? Thank you! First of all, you don't need any of this because you have a kernel driver that's taking care of (almost) everything: Jan 24 22:46:15 krypto kernel: speedtch 2-1:1.0: found stage 2 firmware speedtch-2.bin Jan 24 22:46:22 krypto kernel: ATM dev 0: ADSL line is synchronising Jan 24 22:46:42 krypto kernel: ATM dev 0: ADSL line is up (2272 kb/s down | 288 kb/s up) So I suggest you just use the kernel driver (see http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/). However, if you don't want to you don't have to! As you can see, the script knows about the kernel driver and tries to do something about it (it has to, since otherwise they'll be fighting over the modem): The kernel speedtch module is loaded. This is not compatible with the speedtouch usermode driver. Removing the speedtch module The problem with the script is: mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist Try changing /proc/bus/usb to /dev/bus/usb/ in the script. This problem is fatal.

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch 330 synchronisation speed
Hi Chris,
The distribution of Linux I am running is IPCop, which is a
dedicated firewall system. This is currently running kernel
2.4.31 and as it comes as a dedicated firewall the kernel is
compiled with specific functions. Using a latter kernel is not an
option.
ipcop probably uses the program modem_run to upload firmware from
userspace (the linux 2.6 driver does this itself). I quickly hacked
modem_run to do the extra initialization that the 2.6.19 module does
(see patch below). This compiles but is otherwise untested. Please
let us know if it helps.
Now to the firmware you kindly sent. I see from a latter posting
that you say it is the extended reach drivers: ZZZLP1.eni
ZZZLP2.eni. I assume that these are different to those inside the
package on the Thompson site ZZZL3.012.
I don't know. Try extracting the firmware from ZZZL3.012 and using
md5sum (for example) to see if you get the same files.
And this is my main problem. IPCop expects the modem firmware to
appear as a single file, just like the one on the Thompson
site. Is there a way to combine these two files into one which
will work. I have seen that there is a way to extract the two
files from the Thomson file, what I need to do is put two files
back into one.
The modem_run changes may also help when using your existing
firmware. However the firmware I sent comes from the extended
reach driver, which is designed for long lines, so it may work
better.
Duncan.

OK, it looks like it got a corrupt packet, or part of a packet, and is failing
to recover.
The machines were only handling minute quantities of mail and news.
The mail feed failed at 1:20 and never restarted. News died at a
similar time, although it did make contact a few times overnight.
Pinging the other end of the ppp link this morning reported 40%
packet loss, which might explain why news could get through
sporadically. I guess everything keels over only when packet loss
gets to 80% or so.
What does this look like to you? Noise on the line?
Or electrical interference - try plugging into a different USB port, and make
sure there
are no power cables near the modem's usb cable.
One thing that comes to mind, is that the driver's ability to recover from bad
bulk packets
was weakened slightly when the iso support went in. Does the following patch
help?

[speedtouch] Re: gyp from kernel 2.6.17.8
Hi Steve, There's an experimental feature which only works with speedtouch 330s or better: download using isochronous urbs, rather than bulk urbs. This should improve performance on high speed connections. You can turn it on with enable_isoc=1. It may be worth turning on, because one possible explanation for your problem is that data is coming into the modem faster than it is being extracted by the computer, and some buffers in the modem are overflowing. Of course this wouldn't happen in a bug free world... Try some recent firmware, such as bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni from http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip Interesting. I'm currently using ZZZL_3.012 from http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/download/drivers/USB/SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip this being the only file which the firmware extractor at http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/firmware/firmware-extractor.tar.gz will extract. I tried the URL you quoted but it has moved, so I briefly scouted their web site and came up with a few possibles: None of the links on http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7ProductID=471 work whilst http://www.speedtouch.com/support.htm leads to http://www.speedtouch.com/download/drivers/USB/SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip which looks like what I'm running now. There's also http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/products/faq.asp?ProductID=471. Probably you want the Driver for 8M lines. Any ideas where the new firmware is? Do I need a new firmware extractor too? I've no idea where the extended reach driver went. Since I downloaded it without having to agree to any licence conditions etc (the download doesn't contain a licence either) I will send the firmware to anyone who asks, unless Thomson asks me to stop. Here are the results of booting the box with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG on: If I boot 2.6.19.1 with the modem is plugged in during the boot the results are no different to what you've seen already. I assume this is something to do with klogd not having started at that point in the boot. The results do not change if dl_512_first=1 is in modprobe.conf or not. If I put enable_isoc=1 in modprobe.conf the boot now proceeds past loading the speedtch module, allowing other modules to load normally. The messages are unchanged however. But if I unplug the modem during the boot and plug it in after logging in it all becomes much clearer. Here is an snippet of the relevant messages: ...

So can you please do the following: make sure that usbcore is loaded with usbfs_snoop=1 (usbfs_snoop is a module parameter). You can do this by (as root) removing usbcore then reloading it: rmmod usbcore modprobe usbcore usbfs_snoop=1 In new kernel I compiled usbcore into kernel, not as a modules. so IFAIK to load usbcore with parameter, I should append to kernel commandline usbfs_snoop=1 right ?? No, it should (I think) be: usbcore.usbfs_snoop=1 There's a general mechanism in the kernel whereby parameter p for module m can be specified on the kernel command line as m.p Ciao, Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: gyp from kernel 2.6.17.8
Lots changed in the kernel and the USB layer. Nothing changed in the speedtouch driver between 2.6.17 and 2.6.18. There were some changes for 2.6.19. Yes, I noticed. My question was really to do with the USB stuff, mainly because this all started when I experienced massive packet loss with 2.6.17.8. In particular (and I think it was mentioned on this list) I remember reading of problems being experienced with failed URBs when a packet full of 0xff's was received; it seemed that the URBs would get lost somewhere in the USB stack, although I do not remember seeing a fix. Of course my memory could be deceiving me. What host controller driver are you using? uhci underwent major surgery during this time. Also, I understand that the 0xff problem you mentioned was fixed. Are you using enable_isoc=1? Nope. What does it do? The only option I have set is dl_512_first=1, which I turned on in a vain attempt to get speedtch working way back when I first bought the modem and was doing battle with udev. I'm sure I could remove it without it making any difference. There's an experimental feature which only works with speedtouch 330s or better: download using isochronous urbs, rather than bulk urbs. This should improve performance on high speed connections. You can turn it on with enable_isoc=1. It may be worth turning on, because one possible explanation for your problem is that data is coming into the modem faster than it is being extracted by the computer, and some buffers in the modem are overflowing. Of course this wouldn't happen in a bug free world... Try some recent firmware, such as bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni from http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip Do you also have the userspace driver (it could be forceably disconnecting the kernel module). Nope. The only software running at this point is the kernel, udevd, udevtrigger and then udevsettle, plus whatever they spawn (modprobe and the mounting of /proc/bus/usb). Might udev have something to do with this, perhaps by loading modules before their dependencies are properly initialized? Maybe usbatm is built into the kernel, but speedtouch is a module, or vice-versa? On a further note, I have captured an instance of my connection going down inexplicably using 2.6.17.8, and I wonder if you could pass judgement on why this happens. At 21:39 on Boxing Day I started experiencing heavy packet loss. Apart from a few bots (like the news spool) which slowly choked to death, nothing much happened, and nothing appeared in the logs until this: Dec 26 21:59:12 pfw kernel: ATM dev 0: usbatm_complete: urb 0xd7135ba0 failed (-84)!

It has gone down a few times since then without so much as a squeak from the kernel, just massive packet loss. Any ideas? The pppd behavior is known and annoying - it needs changes to the kernel's pppoatm module, but I never managed to convince its author of that. As for the above, I think it would be best to wait for the CONFIG_USB_DEBUG results before speculating. Best wishes, Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: bringing up interface ppp0 fails
Hi, I have the following: Speedtouch 330 silver, 2 hard drives, one with FC6 adn one with FC5 and Windows. I have just isntalled the FC6. the speedtouch instructions work well but: If I boot from the FC5 and Winfdows drive all is well If I boot from the FC6 drive with teh FC5 hard drive PHYSICALLY disconnected, all is well If I make teh FC6 drive the boot disk but leave the other one connected, then it fials to initialize, hanging up at 'bringing up interface ppp0'. Any ideas would be most welcome - diving in and out of my machine pulling plugs out is not a very good idea I suspect! it sounds like a timing issue. It's important not to try to bring up ppp0 too fast after the modem is discovered by the USB subsystem. Most scripts (eg: hotplug or boot scripts) have a delay (eg: sleep 10) to make sure the modem is ready before running pppd. Try increasing the delay. Ciao, D.

[speedtouch] Re: Problem with Usb and pppd on disconnection of speedtouch
Hi Vouno, thanks for your answer. I'd like to have some more details. The only way i found to reestabilish the connection is the reboot of the computer. Hi Vouno, try applying the following patch to pppd's pppoatm.c: I think this is a patch to apply to recompile the kernel so to tell to pppoatm to use every device it is able to find. no, there is no need to recompile the kernel. It is a patch to pppd: you need to recompile pppd. Is it possible there isn't a way to tell to module pppoatm to look for another device without recompile everything ? There is: if you use 0.8.35 (for example) in your pppd options file, then it will try to connect using atm device 0 (check out /proc/net/atm/devices). If you use 1.8.35 then it will try to connect using atm device 1. There is no need to modify pppd or the kernel to get this to work. However, if you want to say: use any available device then the syntax is *.8.35, which is supported by the kernel (more or less), but needs a tiny change to pppd: the patch I sent. You may wonder why I am talking about different atm devices here - after all, isn't there just one device, your modem? Yes there is, but I think you'll find that when the modem gets disconnected and reconnected, that it has reconnected as atm device 1, not atm device 0 anymore. If you have 8.35 in your options file, then pppd interprets this as 0.8.35 and will only connect via atm device 0. I'm not able to read the code in pppoatm.c but somewhere there should be a pointer to the device. Maybe in /proc i could change something via script to give pppoatm the right references. What do you think about it ? Sorry, there is currently no way to do this. However, you could read /proc/net/atm/devices, work out which atm device the modem has connected as, and then pass the right x.8.35 (or whatever) option to pppd. I'm actually using pppd 2.4.3 on kernel 2.6.8. If this is the only way to solve the problem than i'll use it, but before i'll look more infos on this. Another strange thing is the disconnection and reconnection of the usb port. Yeah. Some usb chipsets are buggy (eg: VIA, maybe better nowadays); some have problems with the amount of current the original speedtouch modems draw. Also, a gazillion USB bugs have been fixed in the 2.6 kernels which haven't been backported to 2.4, so try a 2.6 kernel. Googling around i found other references to this behavior, but all with old kernels (2.4.x e 2.6.1). Last question. Where did you find this patch ? I couldn't find refs anywhere. It was easy for me to find because I wrote it :) There was a big discussion on the linux-atm mailing list some time ago, but I can't find it in the archive for some reason. Ciao, Duncan.

return 0;
Then, in your pppd options file, change the VPI.VCI you use
to *.VPI.VCI, for example if you used 8.35 before, now put
*.8.35
If you have a recent kernel, this will hopefully fix your
problem. If you have an older kernel then either it will
work or it will crash your kernel... so be prepared for
bad things.
Ciao,

Duncan: replies to your questions. Did you do this at a time when pppd was failing to connect? Thanks, D. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] Re: failure to connect suse to speedtouch modem
1 Logged in as myself, switched to root then issued pppd call speedtch. Output appended below. Click on Firefox and page opens and allows me to visit other websites. ping 68.142.226.54 produces the line '64 bytes from 68.142.226.54 icmp_seq=31 ttl=57 time = xxx'. The value of xxx increments for several seconds until eventually I close the terminal window. 2 Switch user from root to myself and Firefox opens without problems; ping result as before. 3 Reboot, click Firefox, get 'www.novell.com cannot be found' message; open terminal window, issue su and pppd etc commands, this time Firefox opens OK. From this is seems clear that pppd is not being run, or is being run unsuccessfully at system boot time. 4 Reboot into Windows, back into Suse, open terminal window for su/pppd etc, this time I get only the first 7 lines of the script below, just up to 'sent' but with no 'rcvd' (although line 4 says 'using channel 0'). This line repeats over and over again. When I try to open Firefox I'm back to the 'www.novell.com cannot be found' message. Retrying pppd call speedtch has no effect. This is interesting. It seems clear that the firmware loaded ok, since otherwise pppd would have failed at once. The most likely explanation is that the line is failing to synchronize. Next time you get into this situation (pppd call speedtch gets stuck at send), can you please send me the output of the following commands: (a) dmesg | grep ATM\|speedtch (b) cat /proc/bus/usb/devices (you may need to do mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb as root before trying (b)). Also: (c) cat /proc/net/atm/speed* Thanks a lot, Duncan. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

2 If I try to open Firefox I get the message 'www.novell.com could not be found'. 3 ping 68.142.226.54 generates the message 'network is unreachable'. If you do pppd call speedtch as the super-user (root), and then try again 2 and 3 above, do things work better? If so, that would be very informative.

pppoa is easier because you don't need br2684ctl to create the nas0 interface. Go with pppoa He may not have the choice. He needs to ask his ISP whether it uses PPPoA (ppp over ATM) or PPPoE (ppp over ethernet) or something else. Duncan.

[speedtouch] Re: failure to link suse with SpeedTouch modem
Just out of curiosity, the file to configure etc/ppp/peers/speedtch had 6 commented lines to disable compression. Would uncommenting them have changed anything? It would have suppressed this sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x1 deflate 15 deflate(old#) 15 bsd v1 15] sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 compress VJ 0f 01 addr 0.0.0.0 ms-dns1 0.0.0.0 ms-dns3 0.0.0.0] rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 addr 62.25.198.171] sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x1 addr 62.25.198.171] rcvd [LCP ProtRej id=0x1 80 fd 01 01 00 0f 1a 04 78 00 18 04 78 00 15 03 2f] rcvd [IPCP ConfRej id=0x1 compress VJ 0f 01] Your side ask for deflate and compress and this is rejected from the server side (ProtRej and ConfRej) Just to clarify: it wouldn't make any difference to whether you get connected or not.
