[speedtouch] Re: Fedora Core 2 Test 3 Issues (2.6.5 kernel) =G
Hi all, My adsl connexion on my brand new FC2 installation comes back this morning, thanks to all of you on this list ! So, for all the guys that didn't manage to connect yet, here are some RPM I made to make speedtouch green manta modem works (and maybe others) on your FC2 http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2/ maybe somebody can mirror this link on a server with a larger bandwidth than my adsl connexion, in order more people can access it. For the solution, I recompile the kernel of redhat with the patches duncan gave us 2 days ago + all the missing config options (ATM, pppoa, speedtouch), I compile linux-atm, pppd with the pppoa patch find on http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch and modem_run of Benoit papillault (speedtouch-1.2 package). After you install the above packages, you need to configure you pap/chap-secret files and put your username and vci.vpi in the /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch file installed by the speedtouch package. and then you plug your modem and start your connection with : service adsl start you can add in your crontab a script to check your connection : */5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/check_adsl.sh And that's all folks !

[speedtouch] Re: FC2 silver modem
The easiest is my solution because it only consist of doing rpm -[iU]vh blabla and set your account information. And it should work without problem. But if you want to understand all the process or if my solution doesn't work, you can do it manually as Aad explained, but it's a long and time consuming task ;o) I remember the address of my RPMS : http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2/ be carefully to not upgrade the kernel. For all package you can install them with rpm -Uvh, but for the kernel use rpm -ivh to avoid removing the old working one in case mine will not work.

Yes, you should preferably use the command 'service adsl start' The script check_adsl.sh is useful to test that your connection is alive in case the 'persist' option in the pppd speedtch file doesn't work (it happens sometimes for me), especially when your provider stop the connexion every 24h (I don't know if it is the case where you live). This script pings some well known site and if all fails, it considers that the connexion is down and relaunch pppd and only pppd. Because in the case where the modem is in a bad state, you should likely unplug and replug your modem before the connexion can restart (I don't know if it is a bug of the modem or if it is a bug/feature of USB). (I have a green manta speedtouch modem for info) If you don't want to use the service command, you can use the script start_adsl.sh which is called by the init script.

Here a some more details. It doesn't happen since I installed my new FC2 so maybe the problem have disappeared. But when I was running my RH9 with a 2.4 kernel, sometimes my connection stops and it was impossible to restart it without unplugging the modem. I always supposed that it was some bad manipulation from my provider during technical intervention that put my modem in a bad state because it happens very randomly and not quite often. The disconnection every 24h have never cause any problem, relaunching pppd always restored the connection with success. What I would like to have, was a soft USB initializer (a software that stop and start an usb device) but I've never been able to find one under linux. I will send more technical details as soon as it will happen again, but I hope it will not ;o) You're welcome, Fred Duncan Sands wrote: that the connexion is down and relaunch pppd and only pppd.

[speedtouch] Re: New driver version 1.3: ANNOUNCEMENT + New FC2
Hi all,
Following some problems with my ADSL connection, I installed the new
drivers 1.3 on my FC2. I found a great improvement with this version, so
thanks Benoit ! :)
After that, I updated my RPM of speedtouch to version 1.3 and take
advantage of the new improvements.
* Sun Jun 20 2004 Frederic RUAUDEL [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.3-2.GrumZ
- Patch the speedtouch-start script to clean the mutex created by
modem_run and to skip running modem_run if the firmware is already loaded
- Patch the location of pppd pid in speedtouch-stop
- Remove the startadsl.sh script
- Modify the adsl init script to use speedtouch-start/speedtouch-stop
- Add the configuration file speedtouch.conf with the good values
- Remove the creation of /etc/speedtouch.conf in %post section
- Modify the configure line in the %build section to set the good
default path
to avoid having the buildroot set in the speedtouch-(start|stop) script
As you can see, I've had to patch the start/stop script to make it works
smoothly on my FC2. Here are the details :
1) speedtouch_clean_mutex.patch
This patch fix a problem with the new mutex system of modem_run. When
you stop modem_run, the mutex is not cleaned so when you try to start it
up again, modem_run just print in /var/log/messages :
modem_run version 1.3 started by root uid 0
and then stop without any clue ! After looking at the code I found that
it was the mutex deadbeef ;-)
So I had an ipcrm in the speedtouch-start script but this is a dirty
hack and I think, if this is a bug and not a feature, that benoit will
certainly find a better solution :)
2) speedtouch_check_firmware_load.patch
this patch check the state of the ADSL line present in the file
/proc/net/atm/speedtch*, and if the line is reported up and the firmware
loaded, it skip the launch of modem_run and directly launch pppd instead
of failing the load of the firmware and quit.
3) speedtouch_fix_pppd_pid.patch
the last one is probably FC2 specific or maybe a missing configuration
in my pppd package, but my pppd put its PID in /var/run/ppp0.pid and not
in /var/run/ppp-${PPPD_PEER}.pid. So I made this patch to make it work
with my current RPMS.
Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong, if I am.
For other changes, I remove my startadsl.sh script and use the
speedtouch-(start|stop) instead and generate a good default
speedtouch.conf for the firmware that I provide with my package. The
hotplug support works very well for me, another great feature added in
1.3 (I know it's not new, but I never manage to configure it manually ;).
And I added a friendly interface to my RPMs repository with a summary of
the things to do to installed my RPMS :
http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2
Comments and feedback are welcome !
Have a nice day,
Fred

This patch fix a problem with the new mutex system of modem_run. When
you stop modem_run, the mutex is not cleaned so when you try to start it
up again, modem_run just print in /var/log/messages :
You undo my change in a way. The mutex is designed to be kept in memory
forever (you can remove it if the modem is unplugged, but this currently
lead to some race conditions, so it's never removed). If you remove it,
speedtouch-start will not work properly (if your stop the connection
with speedtouch-stop and start it again using speedtouch-start, the
mutex prevents modem_run from loading the firmware again).
So, it's a feature ;-)
Maybe it could be helpful to had a message indicating that modem_run
found that the firmware was already loaded and skip its work. After
reflexion, I maybe found this solution following a false problem,
because my first RPM have replaced my peer file so my login wasn't set
and the connection failed. As I didn't notice that first, maybe I was
disturbed by this behavior. If I have time, I will try to investigate on
this problem to see if it was a false issue or not.
But my solution works thanks to the redundant patch :)
modem_run version 1.3 started by root uid 0
and then stop without any clue ! After looking at the code I found that
it was the mutex deadbeef ;-)
So I had an ipcrm in the speedtouch-start script but this is a dirty

What is important is the exit code from modem_run, 0 indicates that the
line is OK and -1 indicates that there is some problem.
2) speedtouch_check_firmware_load.patch
this patch check the state of the ADSL line present in the file
/proc/net/atm/speedtch*, and if the line is reported up and the firmware
loaded, it skip the launch of modem_run and directly launch pppd instead
of failing the load of the firmware and quit.
Redundant with the modem_run's mutex.
3) speedtouch_fix_pppd_pid.patch
the last one is probably FC2 specific or maybe a missing configuration
in my pppd package, but my pppd put its PID in /var/run/ppp0.pid and not
in /var/run/ppp-${PPPD_PEER}.pid. So I made this patch to make it work
with my current RPMS.
Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong, if I am.
Two pid files are generated by pppd:
/var/run/pppN.pid
/var/run/ppp-${PPPD_PEER}.pid [only if you use the link option in your
peer file).
The later is easier to locate if you have multiple PPP connections at
the same time.
I didn't know this link option that's why I made this patch, but I was
conscious of the problem with multiple PPP connections. So you just had
to put 'link' alone on a new line in the peer file to make it works ?
If its the case I will fix my RPM ASAP.

One more thing, I don't know if you have already rebuilt a RedHat/FC kernel, but if you don't, I can give you this advice to make you win some time. In order to have a working kernel, you have to set the architecture you need. By default, on intel platform, the arch is i386 and in the default spec, the rpmbuild program compile nothing, so you have to use the following command to set the good arch (eg: i686) : rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec If you need more advice on this, feel free to ask me, because I had lots of problem to manage to build it correctly so if I can share my experience, I will be glad to. good luck, Fred RUAUDEL Frédéric wrote: Tiago Cogumbreiro wrote: snip Yes it is on the original kernel, nvidia users are having troubles with FC2.

When I start my connection, modem_run give me this log after loading the firmware : modem_run[26470]: ADSL line is up (608 kbit/s down | 160 kbit/s up) So my questions are : - Are they reliable values ?

[speedtouch] PPPoE support on FC2 and kernel for NVidia users
Hi all, Thanks to Tiago Cogumbreiro, I've just added on my webpage (http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2) the RPMs for FC2 to support PPPoE modem and fix the problem with NVidia cards (8k stacks problem).

[speedtouch] Re: PLS. HELP!
It is quite strange, because if it is really what garry said, it means that you shouldn't have been able to boot with the default fedora kernel (I use exactly the same config with only some options *added* for the need of the speedtouch modem). What is the filesystem of your root partition (ext2, ext3, reiserFS, xfs...) you should have this information in the file /etc/fstab. If you have a NVidia card, try the kernel-2.6.6-1.427.8kstacks_st.i686.rpm that have a special patch for it, maybe it can fix the problem. Last thing is to verify that your /boot/grub/grub.conf file is configured to boot on the good primary partition. If all these don't work, you maybe will have to compile the kernel to adapt it to your config but it shouldn't be necessary. good luck, Fred Garry Atkins-Coolman wrote: On Aug 20 mario writ wiv much luv: hi Frédéric I rpm -ivvh your kernel+atm+ppp+speedtouch packages.

Hi Nigel, For the modified kernel on http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2, here are the changes I have done to make it works with the speedtouch modem : - apply patches to fix some usb bugs (have they been integrated to the last kernel ??) - add some options that are not present in the default FC2 kernel : - Device drivers-Networking Support-Networking options-Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) : build as module - Then also select RFC1483/2684 Bridged Protocols: build as module and switch off Per VC IP filter kludge - Device Drivers-Networking Support-Network Device Support-PPP Support-PPP over ATM: build as module - Device Drivers-USB Support-Alcatel Speedtouch USB Support: build as module the patches are in the source RPM available on my site above. this RPM is based on the default kernel of FC2 For my part, I have the kernel driver working with the RPMs of my site.

Hi Aad, Aad Rijnberg wrote: Hello, I have been trying to get the SpeedTouch 330 operational under Fedora Core 3. In the end I succeeded, and want to give some feedback on problems I encountered so that others can benefit from it. Some time ago I read in this list that it was needed to copy the atm header files that belong to the used kernel from /usr/src/linux-some-version/include/linux to /usr/include/linux. Therefore I downloaded the source code of the kernel that came with FC3, and installed it. It appeared to end up in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. I untarred linux-2.6.9.tar.bz2 such that the kernel source tree ended up in /usr/src/linux-2.6.9. Then I copied the /usr/src/linux-2.6.9/include/linux/atm*.h files to /usr/include/linux. Concerning the headers problem, I found later that the includes of the current kernel are located in the directory /lib/modules/kernel-version/build/include/linux/ in the fedora distribs. So you just have to make your ATM makefile point to the folder instead of the default one (/usr/include/linux). Following a Linus Torvald's directive, the header present in the /usr/include/linux are those used to compile the glibc present in the system, IIRC.

[speedtouch] Re: speedtouch and FC4
you copy the content text between the dash line (-8-) in a file name for example fix.patch, then you go in the root dir of the source and you use the command : patch -p1 /path/to/fix.patch that's it. Or more simply, you can edit the file speedtouch-1.3/src/modem_run.c and remove the word static near line 91. I don't know if the official speedtouch dev team agree with this patch but my modem_run program works well for 2 weeks now with this patch applied...

[speedtouch] Re: RES: Re: RES: Re: RES: Re: speedtouch and FC4
Hi Herva, Maybe you could give a try to gnome-ppx at http://gnome-ppx.berlios.de/download/. This is a GUI frontend to speedtouch that worked well with FC2 and if I remember correctly take care of all the configuration steps. But I don't know if this software works with FC4 because it was done for FC2 You can also try to see if there is any interesting clues in this old FC2 page : http://s1x.homelinux.net/documents/fc2_speedtouch Don't get the RPMs because there are too old but the instructions could be interresting and sometime we just miss a little thing that make everything else just doesn't work! Regards, Fred PS: If you need I can send you a RPMs of the speedtouch package for FC4 (I'm not sure if you already have one). If anyone want to host this package feel free to contact me (I don't have enough bandwith to do it myself).

I have any familiarity with these stuffs like Kernel compilation, system logs, etc. As you said, it's getting to hard for me. If one day I have enough money, I'll follow other simpler suggestions, which recommended to buy an ethernet modem. I'm sorry, but I think I can't go on! Best regards, Herva --- Duncan Sands [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu: Hi Herva, I have just done the step one, because the ADSL line is up was not anywhere in /var/log/messages. is your telephone line plugged into the modem? Did your ISP turn on their equipment down at the exchange? However, the messages: found stage 1 firmware speedtch-1.bin found stage 2 firmware speedtch-2.bin were there, after the message New full speed usb device using ohci_hcd address 4 Please send me your system logs. It would be helpful if you rebuilt your kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y, but I understand that that may be too hard. Ciao, D.
