[speedtouch] Speedtouch and Fedora Core 3
Hi! I am trying to set up a new firewall/gateway to connect to the Internet after a serious hard disk failure in my previous gateway which was set up more than two years ago with Red Hat 8 and Speedtouch USB modem (the green manta). As I am now using FC3 I downloaded the necessary files and followed the instructions given in the http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/fedora/core-3.html pages, but something is just not working ok. The pppd seems not be able to communicate with the modem. The modem initialises ok with the correct sequence of leds. What am I doing wrong? Here's an extract of the logfile: I would be very happy of any help, Jyrki = Jan 25 04:24:46 enigma syslogd 1.4.1: restart. ...

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch and Fedora Core 3
Hi Jyrki, I got the 330 operational by executing the following steps: 1) split firmware 2) copy 2 firmware parts to the right place 3) edit /etc/chap-secrets, /etc/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch 4) edit /etc/resolv.conf 5) connect the ST330 via USB to the PC 6) connect to the provider 7) automate the connection process during the boot process I connect to my provider using PPPoATM (so not PPPoE) and have a purple ST330. sub 1) Compile the firmware program,which you can obtain at http://linux- usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/firmware/firmware.html, using: $ gcc -o firmware firmware.c -DSTANDALONE_EXTRACTER Attention: this means that you must have the c-compiler installed! Then run the obtained program to split e.g. mgmt.o: $ ./firmware mgmt.o As a result you will have the files speedtouch-[12].bin Sub 2) # cp speedtouch-[12].bin /lib/firmware Sub 3) Add a line to both files (chap-secrets and pap-secrets) that contain your userid/pwd to connect to your provider, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * your_plain_password * My /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch contains: # To connect to using this configuration file, do # pppd call speedtch lcp-echo-interval 10 lcp-echo-failure 3 noipdefault defaultroute user [EMAIL PROTECTED] noauth noaccomp nopcomp noccp novj holdoff 4 persist maxfail 25 updetach usepeerdns plugin pppoatm.so 8.48 Attention: the 8.48 numbers (vpi/vci) depend on the country you are in, verify them... It is also wise to set the access rights of the files properly (if not already done): # chown 0:0 chap-secrets pap-secrets peers/speedtch # chmod 600 chap-secrets pap-secrets peers/speedtch Sub 4) Add the (DNS) nameservers of your ISP to this file. My file contains: nameserver aa.bb.cc.d nameserver aa.bb.cc.e Attention: the aa, bb, cc, d and e should be replaced by the actual numbers of your provider. Sub 5) Make the physical connection. The firmware should be loaded automatically in the device (see LED activity on the modem). Sub 6) # /usr/sbin/pppd call speedtch The feedback on the screen should be something like: Plugin pppoatm.so loaded. PPPoATM plugin_init PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:8.48 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 -- 8.48 PAP authentication succeeded local IP address ff.gg.hhh.iii remote IP address jjj.kkk.lll.mm primary DNS address aa.bb.cc.d secondary DNS address aa.bb.cc.e Sub 7) To allow connection at boot I added a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /usr/sbin/pppd call speedtch BTW, the /etc/ppp/options file is not needed, so I renamed it: # mv options options.orig As you will see, I did not follow the page you referred to for 100%, as I use /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch i.s.o. /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. I don't know if this might also solve your problem? I hope this helps you getting connected with FC3. Success! Aad On Tue, 2005-01-25 at 14:06 +, Jyrki Leppanen wrote: Hi!
