[speedtouch] Resource temporarily unavailable
Hi, I have created a linux boot CD for bonded ADSL in the UK using Speedtouch USB modems. http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/bondedcd.shtml I have a number of people using the latest version of the CD without any problems to "bond" multiple ADSL lines using MLPPP. However, there is one guy I'm trying to help at the moment who is trying to bond 4 ADSL lines using 4 Speedtouch, and he's getting "Resource temporarily unavailable" from PPP with two of the four modems like this: Sep 6 17:05:54 CBI_UK modem_run[215]: modem_run version 1.2 started by root uid 0 Sep 6 17:06:12 CBI_UK modem_run[216]: [monitoring report] ADSL link went up Sep 6 17:06:30 CBI_UK modem_run[215]: ADSL synchronization has been obtained Sep 6 17:06:30 CBI_UK modem_run[215]: ADSL line is up (2272 kbit/s down | 288 kbit/s up) Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[234]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2b3/pppoatm.so loaded. Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[234]: PPPoATM plugin_init Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[234]: PPPoATM setdevname - remove unwanted options Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[234]: PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:0.0.38 Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[235]: pppd 2.4.2b3 started by root, uid 0 Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[235]: connect(0.0.38): Resource temporarily unavailable Sep 6 17:06:32 CBI_UK pppd[235]: Exit. We're using kernel mode driver, with the mainline 2.6.7 kernel, modem_run v. 1.2. I've seen this error message before on this list. Anyone know what is causing the problem? Is it to do with firmware, with modem_run, with the Speedtouch hardware itself, or a bug in USB kernel code? He is using a D-Link PCI USB card which I know works as I use the same card myself with 2 Speedtouch and kernel 2.6.8.1. All 4 Speedtouch report Vendor=06b9 ProdID=4061 Rev= 0.00 in /proc/bus/usb/devices If anyone can shed any light I'd be extremely grateful.

[speedtouch] Best way to keep up with kernel usb developments
I'm running a project at the moment which uses the Speedtouch for bonded ADSL connections http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/bondedcd.shtml I'm trying to figure out, how do I keep a 2.6 kernel source tree that has the latest *stable* USB stuff. I recently cloned Greg Kroah-Hartman's tree using Bitkeeper bk clone bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/usb-2.6 usb-2.6 and have done a couple of syncs since then, but this will give me a "bleeding edge tree", right? On the other hand, the latest stable kernel 2.6.7 from http://www.kernel.org/ won't have a lot of USB stuff that hasn't been merged yet. How can I keep a tree that's somewhere in between, with the latest stable USB patches? Is it a case of getting the latest stable kerne sources and applying the patches from here as they appear? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.6/2.6.7 Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, I ended up going back to 2.4.24, but after all that 2.6.5 suddenly started working for the person I was helping and still works at the tie of writing, so all ended well anyway :) >> I think I will try 2.4.25 or 24 and see if that improves things.

The only thing I had trouble with was I compiled my 2.4 kernel while running 2.6, and when I booted it my modules had unresolved symbols. Then I saw somewhere you need to compile a kernel while running the same version, so I cross-compiled from another 2.4 machine and then it worked.

Thanks! I will try this and report back.

[speedtouch] Re: Line monitoring
I was using the user mode driver in 2.4, then I moved to 2.6 a couple of months ago and also to the kernel driver. I personally have had no problems with it, but I've been trying to help a couple of other people who both hit this problem. I've created a boot CD for use with an ISP here in the UK that offers MLPPP http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/bondedcd.shtml It is based on 2.6.5 and it works for me but two other people who have tested it have had problems. I think I will try 2.4.25 or 24 and see if that improves things. Only thing is I compiled modem_run using 2.6 headers, maybe I should start again with 2.4 headers also.

[speedtouch] Re: Line monitoring
Haven't tried other kernels, but this is useful information to know. Would you say (generally speaking) that many problems with the Speedtouch losing sync at the ATM layer are because of USB code problems rather than actually problems with the line (noise, etc..)?

[speedtouch] Re: Line monitoring
Thanks Duncan, This is very interesting, so there are problems with the uhci code in 2.6 kernels up to now? Are these general problems or something specific to Speedtouch and line syncing?

[speedtouch] Line monitoring
I'm trying to help someone remotely get a reliable connection running. Not sure which modem_run I'm using but it was CVS and the last Changelog entry was 24th March 2004. We're using the 2.6.5 kernel driver. We are able to establish a connection no problem, modem_run uploads the firmware, ADSL line comes up, PPP establishes a connection fine. But it then seems to die once we try pinging through the connection. We then also get this in the syslog: modem-run[150] [monitoring report] ADSL Link went down immediately followed by modem-run[150] [monitoring report] ADSL Link went up Does this suggest the modem is losing sync at the ATM layer? If so, what are the most likely causes of this? Is it hardware, software, or just problems with the ADSL line, or potentially any one of these?

[speedtouch] Multilink PPP works with Speedtouch Drivers
I've recently setup two ADSL lines 'bonded' together using a PC with Linux, PPP with the 'multilink' option, and two Speedtouch modems with the userland drivers and it works brilliantly. It is possible to do this now in the UK with an ISP here called Nildram. I've detailed the whole setup procedure here: http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/bondedadsl.shtml May be of interest to UK subscribers of the list or anyone interested in using Speedtouch with a similar setup.

[speedtouch] Multilink Error with Kernel Driver
I have two ADSL lines with an ISP which supports multilink and two USB Speedtouch modems on one box. Using the kernel driver I can connect to both lines separately and together fine. However, as soon as I add the 'multilink' option to PPP option file, it stops working; I get a modprobe and an ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU) error (see sys log below) when trying to connect the first line and ppp dies, regardless of which line I try first. Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[247]: Plugin usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2b3/pppoatm.so loaded. Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[247]: PPPoATM plugin_init Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[247]: PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS 0.0.38 Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: pppd 2.4.2b3 started by root, uid 0 Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: PPPoATM set to VC multiplexing Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: using channel 1 Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: Starting negotiation on 0.0.38 Jan 2 22:32:51 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): No such device Jan 2 22:32:51 router pppd[248]: Exit. HOWEVER, if I switch to the user space driver, adding the multilink option works fine, I can connect both lines and PPP bonds them together as one without any problem. Can anyone even suggest how I might troubleshoot/find out what the kernel driver problem is, let alone fix it? There's nothing else in any of the logs to give any clues apart from above, even with the debug and kdebug 1 options. I'd like to use the kernel driver if poss. I have all the kernel PPP options compiled as modules, and without the multilink option ppp loads them all just fine, I don't know which module it is complaining about.
