2007-09-25 Thread Ed Vaessen


 Hi Ed and Paul

 Paul: thanks for the link to the UBuntu help site.  The set up procedure
 looks very similar, so I will have to go through them carefully and
 compare.

 Ed: I have no file  /etc/ppp/peers/usbadslmodem, so this is something else
 I
 need to look into, thank you.

 Whilst switching between desktops, I did notice the message come up on
 booting stating The Speedtouch Firmware did not load.  This seems to be
 a
 vital clue; does anyone have any suggestions ?

If the firmware doesn't load, no connection can be made at all.
Are the files speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin present in /lib/firmware?
This is how my /lib/firmware looks:

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root   4096 2007-04-15 13:53 2.6.20-15-generic
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root   4096 2007-09-24 14:00 2.6.20-16-generic
-rwx-- 1 root root991 2007-07-31 20:18 speedtch-1.bin
-rwx-- 1 root root 762650 2007-07-31 20:18 speedtch-2.bin

Ed

 Regards and thanks

 Roger.

It seems that your line is up. This may mean that something is wrong in
your  configuration files.
Here follow the contents of some of my files. My provider is xs4all in

  Hi Ed
 
  Thanks for your reply.  Basically, I am not really that au fait with
  Linux.
  I dabbled a while ago with Dapper Drake and got the Speedtouch modem
  working
  after some help from this forum.
 
  I've just started out again with Feisty.  I have followed all of the
  instructions on the site
  http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html, but it isn't
  working.
I'm sure it's something very simple I have to modify, as I did
 before,
  but
  my lack of experience in using Linux doesn't help!
 
  Any suggestios will be gratefully received!
 
  Regards.
 
  Roger.

 Hello Roger,
 
 I have a working speedtouch 330 connection on my laptop on which
 Feisty
 Fawn is installed.
 
 Perhaps I can help solving your problem?

I have no connection through Linux at the moment - I have to
switch
   back
  to
Windows to e-mail you which is a bit of a nuisance!
   
I have checked the contents of /proc/net/atm which is as
 follows:
   
/proc/net/atm/arp
/proc/net/atm/devices
/proc/net/atm/pvc
/proc/net/atm/speedtch:0
  That mean your speedtouch is there as the first atm device.
  
/proc/net/atm/svc
/proc/net/atm/vc
   
These are all empty texts files registering 0 bytes.
   
  This is special files
  You have to do so to see the content
  cat /proc/net/atm/speedtch:0
  
  You could report content of all files inside /proc/net/atm with
 this
  one
  liner
find /proc/net/atm -exec cat {} \;
  
  With the informations displayed by those files, you could know what
  has
  been
  send and received.
  
  Please report too what appear when you start the connection.
  
  Gilles

Yes, however Roger previously sent the contents of /proc/net/atm/speed*
which showed:

  Speed Touch USB  (usb-:00:03.0-1)
  MAC: 00:90:d0:37:b0:ab
  AAL5: tx 0 ( 0 err ), rx 0 ( 0 err, 0 drop )
  Line up

i.e. the firmware is loaded.

Maybe he is running one of those scripts you can find on the web which
tries to set up your speedtouch connection for you, perhaps using modem_run
to load firmware?  Or perhaps he just misread the boot message (Roger, you
can read all boot messages by running
dmesg
in a terminal.  Maybe
dmesg | less
is better, otherwise you'll maybe get too much stuff).

Ciao,

Duncan.

Hi Duncan

The  dmesg | less  command reveals 100s of lines of info!  However, an 
initial visual scan reveals the following 2 lines:

[   28.813332] speedtch 1-1:1.0: found stage 1 firmware speedtch-1.bin
[   28.966755] speedtch 1-1:1.0: found stage 2 firmware speedtch-2.bin

I'm afraid I'm a bit out of my depth interpreting some of this information, 
but the above at least looks a bit positive!

Roger.

It does.  Almost certainly it is pppd that is having problems.  How do
you run pppd?  Try running it in the usual way, but with the word
debug
added to the command line.

Duncan.
