[speedtouch] Re: Fedora Core 2 Test 3 Issues (2.6.5 kernel)

[Aad Rijnberg]

Hi,

thanks to you all I have got the Speedtouch operational with the kernel
module.

This incorporated the following steps:
- install kernel-source rpm
- apply patches of Duncan for usb
- configure the kernel to include ATM, PPP Over ATM support, Speedtouch
  (and RFC1483/2684 Bridged Protocols, but I doubt if that is required
  for pppoatm)
- Âmake and Âmake modules_install install for the kernel
- add new kernel to grub.conf
- use speedbundle-1.0, where the kernel-module part is not built/
  installed.

Then I see still some errors/warnings during boot, but the modem is
operational (I sent this mail via FC2 using the kernel module). See the
part of /var/log/messages related to the ST330:

Duncan, you told that most of them are due to modem_run.c and are not
critical, but the ÂdonÂt look good messages as you called them are
still there:
May 27 07:18:13 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: control timeout on ep0in
May 27 07:18:13 localhost kernel: hub 1-2:1.0: config failed, can't read
hub descriptor (err -110)

Everything operates however properly.

Thanks all for the support! I will give feedback to Eric Brasseur who
already has a webpages online with solutions for the Speedtouch 330 on
FC1 (kernel space) and FC2 (user space).

Regards,
Aad

Got it to work somehow.  Problem was editting my masquerading firewall 
script so that the device was ppp1 now instead of ppp0.  Thanks!

One more question for the list: how do I disconnect the modem?  Just 
unplugging it leaves the drivers loaded and reserved for a VERY long 
time;  I also can't recconnect after that, unless I wait for the drivers 
to clear for removal, or I reboot.

Thanks again in advance!
William

Those modification have been made in modem_run, pppoa2 and pppoa3 in the 
CVS repository of the speedtouch usermode driver.

Look at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32758 for instructions on 
accessing CVS.

FYI, Arjan van de Ven has made available a test kernel (2.6.6-1.383,
"update to 2.6.7-rc1") for Fedora Core 2 that features a "major USB
update". I assume these are Duncan's patches for 2.6.7.

Hi Eurig!

Normally, you have to send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 
the subject "unsubscribe" as this is written at the end of every mail 
sent by this list. Next, you should get a confirmation message which 
need to be answered. Then, you will be unsubscribed.

I am the admin of the list and get tons of error messages/spams from the 
list. Moreover, I no longer have the full control of the list (my usual 
email is banned from the @ml.free.fr domain). However, if you cannot 
remove yourself from the list in FEW days, I can do it for you. Just 
drop me a mail.
