Dear Jérôme, I haven't tested it, but I'm confident it's ok.

Date: Wednesday 14 April 2004 19:25 From: "Jérôme Staal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Martin, I hope you won't flame me to ask some help on this mighty/f...king ADSL modem -_^ I am an average new user of Linux, I choose a Mandrake 9.2 distribution, whose kernel version (adapted by Mandrake) is 2.4.22-based. My ADSL modem is the Speedtouch 330 (silver color; rev4 verified w/ usbview utility) from Alcatel/Thomson. I installed again a fresh new distribution, and I took the time to configure the modem at post-install step: I didn't choose the PPPoE protocole because I guess it is a PPPoA one. As there was no explicit choice for it, I choose the most explicit option, named "Speedtouch ADSL modem" (or something near this). I also configured my 10/100 Ethernet card, even if I do not use it. A eth0 interface was created at this purpose. Once the installation finished, I log in, run DrakConfig and get a view of the physical devices section ("material"). I see my modem in the list but when I select it and then display in the right panel the related information, I see that the "module" slot says "unknown"... while I strictly did the install of GPL 'user-side' drivers of B.Papillaud as described in the How-To. --> Does it means there are still no drivers for the modem???? As my kernel is 2.4.22-based, I did *not* patch the HDLC and I did *not* compile any new configured kernel. I checked the USB interface: usb-uhci (in graphic detailed load mode, Mandrake show me its initialization) pppd version is 2.4.1 I downloaded the new firmware (is it the same thing as 'microcode' ??) named ZZZLP2.eni (I also found it on my Windows partition) and put it with the compiled and installed binaries (modem_run, pppoa3, pppoa2) i.e. /usr/(local/)sbin/ directory. Finally I edited the 5 configuration files, and runned the modprobe and other instructions at the command-line. The mount -t usbdevfs (...) line got me a message explaining the mount was already done. Good. During the whole thing the modem was plugged in, the two LEDs were immediately and constantly *green*. I go to the directory containing the firmware ZZ*.eni and launch: "modem_run -m -f ZZLP2.eni", the console spend a little less then a minute to hang on and get me the invite back. LED have still not changed. I finish w/ "pppd call adsl" and... LEDs still don't change. ifconfig give me a report for interfaces: -lo, -eth0 and something POINT-TO-POINT ifconfig ppp0 tell me that the modem was not found where info was searched on the interface... How can I get some help to understand what I did wrong or, better, how can I produce the info that will allow me to get helped? I cannot say it in another manner: I am completely lost with this modem. I read a lot of tutorials, read Usenet and Web boards, subscribed to mailing-lists but nothing/nobody seems to be able to tell me: "look: you did this, and this produced this error". I am ready to check anything necessary to get this damned modem working and to be able to clearly explain and understand my problems. A big big thank to you if you take the time to read and answer :) Jerome Staal (Sorry for the bad english writing, I am French and not a great writer :/ ) ------------------------------------------------------- -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
