Thank you for your time, Tiago Cogumbreiro Hi Tiago, Your patch is welcome, but the list does not support attachments except plain text. I would to discuss about PPPoE support since I think there are two ways to handle it in scripts: - either the speedtouch-start creates only the ethernet interface and let other tools (like pppoeconf) to use it. I think this is the proper solution - either the speedtouch-start takes care of everything, ie creating the ethernet interface and launching pppd/pppoe on it. This is what I have implemented and this is the most straightforward way for beginners. However, this leads to some problems right now (mainly the fact that speedtouch-stop destroy everything ... without waiting for PPPoE to send its last packets...). And right, since the version 1.3, the pppoa2/pppoa3 has been modified to output the interface name on stdout. You MUST use this interface.

Because now the rp-pppo.so plugin is included in ppp-2.4.2, it should be better to support the plugin when available. The plugin may support better high bandwidth usage than the usermode program. But it need atm support, br2684 module and br2684ctl. Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] modem_run behaves different in 1.3 than 1.2b4
haló I have a problem never solved with my speedtouch 330 USB. It can be reproduced unplugging and plugin again. This is what it happens: Jul 6 09:41:34 core /netbsd: ugen0: at uhub1 port 2 (addr 3) disconnected Jul 6 09:41:34 core pppoa2[401]: Error reading usb urb Jul 6 09:41:34 core /netbsd: ugen0 detached Jul 6 09:41:34 core modem_run[371]: Error reading interrupts Jul 6 09:41:34 core modem_run[371]: [monitoring report] ADSL link stays stable (down) Jul 6 09:41:34 core modem_run[371]: Error reading interrupts Jul 6 09:41:34 core modem_run[371]: [monitoring report] ADSL link stays stable (down) Jul 6 09:41:34 core modem_run[371]: Error reading interrupts endless loop, syslogd working at full ... Humly, I think that modem_run should be able to deal with plug and unplugs. Anyways, I was unable to solve that usb urb problem. So, the thing I did in a script every time this thing happened was: · Stopping adsl script · Kill modem_run · Stopping syslogd · Delete messages file (sometimes after awakening, it was very full) · Creating new messages file, empty · Starting syslogd · Starting adsl script again. As far as using 1.2b4, it wasn't a problem because modem_run used to start and stay up. But with modem_run and 1.3 release of speedtouch software, the program just put a message and exits: Jul 6 09:44:22 core modem_run[20171]: modem_run version 1.3 started by cetrox uid 0 It doesn't stay up and my adsl script is unable to find it, no internet connection is possible. That is my problem, I would be pleased to know what can I do to get rid of this problem, or I would be on need of 1.2b4 version of the software. regards César Catrián C. _ Do You Yahoo!?

Visítanos en http://noticias.espanol.yahoo.com Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The design of modem_run has changed. Like you said, it was designed to start and stay up. This is still the same. However, if you kill it, it will no longer starts and stay up. Look at this message for the new design explanation: http://www.mail-archive.com/speedtouch%40ml.free.fr/msg06407.html Concerning your problem, I think the usb library (pusb-bsd.c) does not return the same exit code as in Linux and thus, when you unplug your modem,it is not detected.

Are the cells send or receive? Is-it not a buffer which is sending the cells to the driver or some remaining ip traffic wich try to go out when the door is closed? I too have disconnection mostly between 19-21 hours. I suppose it is related when one computer in my home network is running. It is one XP computer with no peers at all. I suspect the upload traffic goes up to a certain limit and then the connection hang. It is not so easy to see because my graphic had a 5 mn interval, so I miss the upper limit. I did not have disconnection with bewan usb driver during 4 days (appart the daily after 24h), so I suppose the ISP is not the guiltly. It may not be a very reliable test because network condition (inside and out) may vary so much. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
