Hi, It's a known bug. I asked for the fix to go into 2.6.6, but it was decided to wait until 2.6.7 instead. 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.

[speedtouch] [Announce] Updated Speedtouch RPM for Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core
Hi, After a few weeks of testing (that is using a temporary build and attending to other things) I finally got to releasing a new Speedtouch RPM for use with Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core. The speedtouch-1.2 branch finally got out of beta! This latest RPM is based on the final 1.2 code and should work with all versions of the Speedtouch modem. For Fedora Core you probably just want to use the kernel mode driver, but you can use modem_run from this rpm to upload the firmware. Note that with the latest modem_run you have to upload both parts of the firmware, using either the -a and -f switch, or by concatenating the two parts together and feeding them to modem_run via the -f switch. The (S)RPM can be found at http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html . Also available is a tarball for the users of *BSD.

[speedtouch] Re: speedbundle-1.0-pppoe-pppd
Hallo George, Just verifying some issues you seem to be not entirely sure about :) . The provider is Zonnet in the Netherlands. They sell ADSL contracts via both their mother company, Versatel, and via KPN, the old Dutch state telephone company. When KPN provides the technical facilities, you get pppoa, I think. (Anyone who knows better: please correct me.) Correct. I use Zonnet via KPN and indeed they use pppoa. I had just about everything wrong when I cried for help on this list. Turns out the VPI/VCI for Versatel is 0/32 (For KPN it's 8/48, I suppose). That is good to know. Thanks for that info. And KPN indeed uses 8/48.

Hello James, Extract the .pax file with a linux freeware pax extraction tool. In directory ./System/Library/Extensions/SpeedTouchUDSLUSB.kext/Contents/PlugIns/R30 will be the ZZZLP1/2.eni files. Nice hey, these archives that need you to utilize unzip, gzip and pax to extract. All in one. I was thinking of putting the above information on my speedtouch web page (http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html). I might still do that, seeing how easily it is to get lost inside that archive... Note that you need to concatenate these two parts together if you want to use the latest version of modem_run. Martin, you forgot to mention this on your website. Also you only provide part 2 of the firmware, which is not sufficient for use with the latest code. Instead of putting up the firmware on your website you'ld better use a link instead (note that these links avoid the nag screen at Thomsons site): http://download.ethomson.com/download/WebUpgrade_MacOSX_R3.zip for the ZZZLP firmware, for use with the 330 rev.4, and http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip for the KQD6 firmware, for use with the 330 rev.2 (and the original USB rev.0 (?)).

I presume the same firmware gets loaded without problems on the rev.4? Then why does modem_run have a problem with the same firmware when used with another revision of the modem? If modem_run can't load the firmware it will be difficult to establish if the firmware is compatible ;) . Somebody should try from another OS.

[speedtouch] Announce: Updated Speedtouch RPM for RH9 (and FC1)
Hi, A new speedtouch rpm for use with Red Hat 9 is available at http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html . This version is built from CVS (2004/02/20) and should work with the silver 330 rev.4 version of the modem. Binaries are built on RH9 but should probably be usable on Fedora Core 1 as well. On FC1 you probably want to use the kernel mode driver anyway, but you can probably use the modem_run binary from the RH9 rpm. If not, rebuild from the source rpm (and notify me). For other distros that support rpm you should be able to rebuild the rpm without too many modifications to the spec file. BSDers and users of distros that do not support rpm can grab the tarball. Please report any issues you are having to this list. Don't forget to concatenate the two firmware parts when using this version.

[speedtouch] Re: CRC errors with 330 on NetBSB
Hello Gilles, There was corrections done in pppoa3 (in V1.2beta3 I think) to remedy at this trouble under Linux with 330. There were some reasons this change could not flow into pppoa2 as well, but I can't remember which exactly. Could anyone remind me what these were? Could it be that the code to account the number of packets received in pppoa2 also needs to be fixed? Or is that implementation totally different? But before the correction, generaly, use of firmware.bin had given a better result than last brand new firmware That was indeed the case with the 330 using pppoa3, it might help with pppoa2 as well. Note that CRC and VPI/VCI errors can also be caused by poor cabling. My line speed was upgraded from 384 kbit/s to 1024 kbit/s a few weeks ago. After that I saw loads of these errors and frequent disconnects. After all it turned out to be caused by me using low quality and long cables. The problems vanished when I moved my firewall and started using short cables.

[speedtouch] Re: No traffic
Hallo Irene, Since I was having downstream problems with the user space driver and the alcaudsl.sys firmware, I installed the latest Debian speedtouch packet and built in the kerneldriver (2.4.22). I have no experience with the kernel driver yet, but since nobody else jumps in I thought I might give you at least some answers. I'm using the firmware file from http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html now. I have been using the KQD6P2.eni with the user mode driver for quite a while now (http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip). Ping gives messages like unknown host, also when I use an IP address. Really? Or just time outs in the latter case? By the way, can you ping both ends of the point to point connection? Have you tried traceroute and seen how far a trace gets? I shut down the firewall, but no way. I put the modem_run options -m -f -s in the script, that didn't work either. Could it be that I should remove netfiltering modules from the kernel? If all chains are set to ACCEPT you should be ok. No need to remove the netfiltering modules. Iptables -L -n gives IP-addresses with only zero's. Don't forget the -v option, which shows to which interface the rules apply. The zero's are just IP catch alls, its the destination (ACCEPT/DROP) that matters. Btw, it doesn't seem to be possible to go back to my original configuration, it just doesn't work anymore somehow. And I would still have the crappy downstream: it used to be around 15 kbps instead of the 42 I get sometimes with Wintendo, which I'm forcibly using now. The user mode driver gives me a 40KB/s ftp download speed (same modem as you, same line specs, but using the KQD6P2.eni firmware). Although I don't feel I can pinpoint the problem you are having I hope this is of some use. Maybe somebody with experience with the kernel mode driver can jump in...

Hi Folks, I've got exactly the same problems as you, on FreeBSD 4.x (4.8 right now). I still use v1.1 (I tried v1.0 before, and more recently v1.2beta1) Have you tried using pppoa3? Not sure about the development on pppoa2, but even that is already in 1.2beta3. It could quite well be your problems have already been solved in the newer releases. The last thing is this f***king VIA chipset on my mother board (or the motherboard itself: K7T266A), and I've heard that not enough power was given to the modem when it needs it (and that's why it switchs off sometimes). I have heard about VIA chipset problems as well, but that was on a *Pentium* motherboard, not an Athlon motherboard. Anyway, I'm quite fed up with all this, and I'm going to change to motherboard+nForce2 chipset, or a better Ethernet modem/router. Again, you might want to upgrade your software before you upgrade your modem. There is definitely no need to upgrade your motherboard, since the power problem you mention does not apply to it.

[speedtouch] Re: Problem maybe with USBDEVFS_BULK
Hi Luigi, I followed the howto but, when I execute modem_run -m -f /bin/mgmt.o #just the right led became orange pppd call adsl #nothing appens Try unplugging the modem, issue # rm -f /var/run/pppoa3-modem1.pid # killall pppoa3 and then rerun modem_run again (after you plugged it back in of course). If you are using the bordeaux red Speedtouch 330 you need to add the -s switch as well. Also you might want to use the latest Thomson firmware (KQD6P2.eni, http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip). Another thing, if you are using a 2.4.22 or later kernel you could also try using the kernel space driver instead. Bye, Leonard.

[speedtouch] Re: [CVS commits] Various small things
Hi, (One man thread :) Correction. unused_cells is initialised to lbuf at the first loop, and the value of unused_cells is changed to atm_pointer by the call to aal5_frame_from_atm_cells. This is probably a way to walk through lbuf. Ie the use of unused_cells instead of lbuf makes sense. I'll have to look at this a little closer, but I guess it is correct. The lazy mans way to check if it behaves correctly is by using a small lbuf. Guess I'll have a go at that ;) . Using an lbuf size of 4 * 53 works just fine, so I assume the logic is correct. I do see a kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 123 every few seconds. Probably some congestion due to the excessive amount of calls to pusb_endpoint_read when using such a small buffer. I think the patch I just submitted can not be cleaned up any further, except maybe some stripping of the comments. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?

[speedtouch] Re: [CVS commits] Various small things
Hello Edouard, I guess the sourceforge anonymous cvs is still in a pity state and lagging way behind the developer cvs access. This patch was already applied with the changes I listed. It was not a patch modification request but a report. Let's blame sourceforge that made you loose time on this. It's not that bad. Maybe you didn't change the declaration of lbuf to use ATM_CELL_TOTAL_SIZE yet, and there are other changes I mentioned that were not in the patch I submitted to CVS. The changes may show up in the anonymous cvs soon[1]. Ok. Did you also apply the changes you mentioned yesterday (fe using parameters from atm.h)? Note that the merging of the two if (pti == 1) 's is probably still a good idea, as well as the combination of the nb_cells and num_bytes_new calculation. If you send me a g/bzipped tarball of the current state of CVS I will apply these changes to that. Or you'll have to wait until anonymous CVS gets updated and I can patch against that. If I didn't oversee anything that should wrap up this thread. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!

[speedtouch] Re: [CVS commits] Various small things
Hello Edouard, Ok concerning the second patch, i'm going to apply it with slight changes: - the 'idiotic' message isn't good as this driver can be used on networks with mtu 1500. Not all the networks are Ethernet, and it's up to your ISP to negotiate the MTU value through pppd or whatever. Is there a way to check the frame length against the negotiated length, or do you just drop this check? - some cleanup concerning the effective payload used The way aal5_frame_from_atm_cells() is called probably needs checking. I am not sure if the use of unused_cells instead of lbuf is correct. Might just work for small frame sizes. Also it seems that currently lbuf is not used at all so if the use of unused_cells instead of lbuf is correct you might just drop all references to lbuf. Once again, this patch was not written by me, I just did some cleanup and separation of functionality. I did not verify all the details of its inner working, but can verify that it fixes the CRC error problem I saw when using the KQD6P2.eni firmware with the unpatched driver. But it definitely needs another check ;) . - use of constants defined in atm.h Sure. and move n1 to the inner if(pti==1) subcase. n1 has been renamed to nb_cells as well. And sure, sure again :-) .

[speedtouch] Re: [CVS commits] Various small things
Hello Edouard, Just a quick reply, more tomorrow. I just dropped the test. See if it makes CRC problems appear again. Just dropping the test for pos 1536 shouldn't change anything afaict. Remember I inserted the else after that check. Also I always saw both Idiotic frame lengths and CRC errors at the same time (before I inserted the else). That would suggest that dropping the first test shouldn't make a difference. The lbuf usage is still needed, it's the reading buffer. unused_cell is just a pointer that keeps tracks of pppoa3 progress into the read buffer if there are still ATM cells left in. Then that should be changed back. The current patch doesn't seem to use lbuf at all. I have just a doubt about the case where: - num_bytes_read 0 It seems to me, that this case should be checked and invalidate the unused_cell data. Isn't unused_cells set to NULL by aal5_frame_from_atm_cell() after the whole frame has been processed? I did not check that. Again, I only submitted this patch because it addresses the CRC issue, I am not stating that it is entirely correct yet. This probably needs a little discussion (please refer to Ok Overbeek as well) and shouldn't be pushed to beta3 in 24 hours. Can you check if a test like this one hurst the CRC solving: if (num_bytes_read0) unused_cells = NULL; after the pos = 0; statement. I'll look at this tomorrow. Plus see above. By the way, num_bytes_read is the absolute number of bytes read so it will never be less than 0. And again, I assume unused_cells is set to NULL by aal5_frame_from_atm_cell().

Hello Marwan, I'm using RH9 and my ISP is Wanadoo. The problem is, when I run the doctor and it gets to displaying the DNS servers, it just hangs, it never continues. It seems that the connection is already open, so I thought it might be a routing problem, but, to my untrained eye, the output of route -n seems OK. For such simple setups Red Hat usually sets up routes correctly. I suspect your firewall setup is in the way. What does iptables -L -n show you? Is port 53 UDP open?

[speedtouch] USBDEVS_BULK failed's probably pppd issue
Hi, The USBDEVFS_BULK failed's that I was seeing after prolonged inactivity of the line turn out to probably be a pppd issue, and not an issue with the (user space) driver. Shortly after installing the speedtouch rpm I set the kdebug level to 7 in the pppd config file for testing purposes. I only realized that I never set this back to a more reasonable level until about two weeks ago. Since I removed the kdebug option from the adsl config file I haven't seen any USBDEVFS_BULK failed's. Setting kdebug to 7 of course eats a lot of CPU on activity of the line, but I still wonder why I saw the USBDEVFS_BULK failed's after a period of *in*activity. I thought you might want to know that after all this turned out not to be a driver issue. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?

[speedtouch] Re: Connexion (et reconnexion) automatique
Hello KnuX,
Voici mon problème :
- Je cherche à pouvoir reconnecter automatiquement ma machine à Internet
lorsqu'elle n'y est pas (donc au démarrage et après des plantages pour une
raison X ou Y de cette connexion).
For automatic reconnection I use a cron job that checks whether ppp0 is
still up and/or if there are USBDEVFS_BULK fails. Note that I reload the
USB modules to achieve this, so if you are using other USB devices this
might not be an ideal solution.
To start the connection I just run /etc/ppp/peers/runadsl, which is a
variant of runadslclean that doesn't check for stale runfiles etc. You can
use runadslclean for this. Note that the script uses Red Hat specific
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions.

[speedtouch] Re: Firmware questions
Hello Jim, Does the old SpeedTouch (that looks like a sting ray) use the same firmware as the SpeedTouch 330? Yes. Could someone please tell me where I can get a linux-specific firmware for the 330? On the official product website I can find only Apple and Windows drivers; I can't extract the Apple driver, You can use the Linux specific driver for the SpeedTouch USB with your 330 as well. Note that for other OSes the drivers are separately shown for both modems, but they are actually the same driver. See http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/support.htm or use http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip to avoid the annoying registration page. The Apple package is packed with StuffIt, for which you should be able to get a free Expander for. Iirc it contains the same firmware. and the Windows driver does not work well (extremely high CRC error rate and 75% drop in throughput). I also see a lot of CRC errors, which I reported to this list, and for which I recently made a patch available. See http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html .

[speedtouch] Re: read_from_usb_thread fix
Hi Ok, I thought I was the only victim, but to my relief you're my companion in distress (maybe it has to do with us being Dutch??). My distress was mainly that I can't use the official firmware (KQD6P2.eni) with the vanilla speedtouch driver. Even if there are different issues with the line in the Netherlands the driver shouldn't crash on that, and the changes you made to read_from_usb_thread definitely fix *that* problem for me (not the occassional USBDEVFS_bulk fails that I keep seeing though). Anyway, the extra pipe didn't do anything (good or bad, that is). So is it necessary or useful or just redundant? During the time I was keeping myself busy with that, Duncan advised me to try the 'kernel'-version; according to him, that would do its job flawlessly. I will have a look at it some day (probably still this year ;), but I didn't want that to stop me from getting some fixes into the user space driver.

[speedtouch] read_from_usb_thread fix
Hi,
The rpm I made available yesterday
(http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html)
contains the speedtouch_usbpipe patch, which I received from Ok Overbeek and
cleaned up slightly. This patch does 3 things:
1) Some code cleanup
2) Add an extra thread (USB pipe) to speed up the reading from and the writing to
the USB device.
3) Fix the behaviour of read_from_usb_thread.
I thought I'd split the patch, so the three parts can be looked at individually.
Part one of the patch is straight forward. Just some code cleanup and minimal fixes.
I'll post these later.
The second part, the adding of the extra thread, I want to study a little closer
before
posting it here. I am not sure if it actually speeds up things, or whether the possible
speedup costs a lot of CPU. I need to investigate a little more before forming my
opinion.
As I mentioned before I see a lot of CRC errors when using the latest Alcatel/Thomson
firmware with the plain CVS code. The third (part of the) patch fixes this. I split
the patch
yesterday and applied the third part to the CVS code. It changes the behaviour of
read_from_usb_thread. Indeed this is the part that fixes the CRC errors I was seeing
when using the KQD6P2.eni firmware. The patched driver functions correctly and most of
the CRC errors are gone. I still see a few CRC errors and some idiotic frame lengths.
Please have a look at it.

[speedtouch] Announce: CVS 20031016 rpm for Red Hat Linux 9
Hello, I prepared an rpm from CVS (2003/10/16) for use with Red Hat Linux 9. Also available is the source rpm, so it can be rebuilt for use with other versions of Red Hat Linux. The prebuilt rpm contains a (slightly cleaned up) patch I received from Ok Overbeek. It fixes CRC errors I am seeing when using vanilla CVS with the latest official firmware from Alcatel/Thomson (KQD6P2.eni). If you want to use vanilla CVS you can download the src rpm and disable the speedtouch_usbpipe patch in the spec file and rebuild that. The rpm can be found at http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html . Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!

Hi Chris, Oct 5 23:32:05 serpens pppoa3[7329]: pppoa3 version 1.2-beta1 started by root (uid 0) You might want to try to use 1.2-beta2 instead of beta1 and use the -e switch for the Speedtouch 330. Install the source rpm, get the 1.2-beta2 source, edit the spec file to use the beta2 source (or tar gzip CVS) instead of beta1 and rebuild the rpm.

[speedtouch] Re: void report() code comments
Hello Edouard,
I oversaw this email, so some of my comments in my last mail don't apply anymore. I
see you
already applied the verbosity patch to pppoa2.c as well. For the verbosity patch for
modem_run.c
see my previous mail.
Waiting for your patch, i'll then judge if it's worth it (for the
beauty of code)
I had a closer look and noticed that since vsnprintf(msg, 256, format, ap) nor
vfprintf(log,
format, ap) use va_arg the reordering of the report() parameters is not as trivial as
I expected.
Let's forget about that (for now).
However, I still feel the log level should be separated independent of whether
REPORT_DUMP is set.
This results in the following patch:

[speedtouch] Re: [CVS commit] patches suggested on the ML
Hello Edouard, Summary: Some patches suggested by PATCH requests. Revision: speedtouch--trunk--1.2--patch-6 Great. I thought my comments had gone unnoticed. Thanks. * Added a 3rd verbose level: - level 2 does not dump packets anymore - level 3 == level 2 + dump packets You might also want to do the same thing for modem_run.c and pppoa2.c. I didn't bother to make the patch for pppoa2 because I don't use it, but it is of course very similar. Also it might be that modem_run is not affected (ie won't be killed when dumping packets) for a couple of reasons: 1) It does not generate as many packets as pppoa3. 2) It does not lock a report_mutex like pppoa3, which I suspect might be why pppoa3 gets killed after a while (it locks the mutex for too long when dumping packets). Maybe moving the pthread_mutex_unlock(report_mutex) to before the call to dump fixes this problem, but I am not sure what that does to the order in which packets and other messages are logged. Here it the patch for modem_run.c: diff -pruN src.report_cleanup/modem_run.c src/modem_run.c --- src.report_cleanup/modem_run.c 2003-09-28 07:04:26.0 +0200 +++ src/modem_run.c 2003-09-28 07:00:08.0 +0200 @@ -618,7 +618,7 @@ static void usage() fprintf(stderr, modem_run version %s: $\n, VERSION); fprintf(stderr, usage: modem_run [-v level] [-m] -f microcode \n); - fprintf(stderr, -v : verbose level [0-2]\n); + fprintf(stderr, -v : verbose level [0-3]\n); fprintf(stderr, -m : monitor the line\n); fprintf(stderr, -s : skip the first 512 bytes read\n); fprintf(stderr, -f microcode : upload this microcode file first\n); @@ -1239,7 +1239,7 @@ void report( int minlevel, unsigned int fprintf(flog, Reason : %s\n, strerror(errno)); #endif - if(flags REPORT_DUMP) + if(flags REPORT_DUMP verbose 2) dump(buffer, length); va_end(ap); By the way, did you already have a look at my comments concerning the order of variables in report()? As said before if you think changing the parameter order (ie put the log string parameters directly after the log message indepent of whether packets will be dumped) is a good idea I am happy to create that patch. Just don't have it available yet. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo! End all weapons of mass destruction.

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch reconnect/disconnecting
Hello Thijs, I've got some real trouble keeping my speedtouch online (thomson 330, the purple one). It disconnects at an interval of some hours. I see USBDEVFS_BULK fails after a long time of inactivity. Not really a disconnection, but the modem is unusable from that point. Currently I am testing an updated pppoa3 which I received from Ok Overbeek. It didn't entirely solve my USBDEVFS_BULK failed issue when using the firmware.bin from the speedtouch website, but I am currently testing it with the latest official firmware from thomson (KQD6P2.eni), which cannot be used with the official (unpatched) beta. I was thinking of releasing a slightly cleaned up version of this patch, and others concerning logging and verbosity plus a spec file via http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html one of these days. Second, I would like to know how I can reconnect. Problem is the modem needs to be reset to reload the firmware (at least in my case). This means you either have to unplug the modem or reload usb- uhci. I use the latter, because I have no other USB devices connected. Run rmmod usb-uhci; sleep 1; modprobe usb-uhci; sleep 3; and then rerun modem_run. You might want to kill old pppoa3 instances and remove the lock file as well before rerunning modem_run.

[speedtouch] dump code buggy (no bounds checks)
Hi, It looks like the code for function dump is buggy. It does no bounds checks whatsoever on line and ptr. Setting verbosity of pppoa3 to 2 will cause pppoa3 to crash after a few minutes. But disabling the (only) call to dump seems to fix this problem. +/* if(flags REPORT_DUMP) dump(buffer, length); - +*/ I know of course the code for dump should actually be fixed, but the above is just an indication where the problem lies.

But disabling the (only) call to dump seems to fix this problem. After closer inspection I realized that dump will not overflow line. Line will be 16x3 (hex chars) + 3 (space) + 16x1 (chars) + 1 (0 byte) = 68 bytes long. Still there is the problem that (probably) the amount of log data produced in verbosity level 2 causes the kernel to kill pppoa3. This renders verbosity level 2 useless. Not only does this affect the dump output, but also some other debug info. Since we probably do not want to miss out on the debug info I propose to add an extra verbosity level, so one can see the extra debug info without causing pppoa3 to be killed because of the excessive dump info. See the attached patch for details. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!

Hello Guillaume,
Try removing stale runfiles and killing all instances of pppoa3 before
rerunning modem_run:
rm /var/run/pppoa3-modem*.pid
ps wax | grep pppoa3 | grep -v grep | cut -b 1-5 | xargs -i kill -KILL {}
(There should be a trick to exclude grep from the ps output, but I forgot
what it was.)
Bye,
Leonard.

[speedtouch] Re: Firmware URL's
Hello Edouard, Sorry to bother you (again). It is just I am a little confused. Figured out what pax is and extracted the Max OSX and OS 10.2 archives from the original cd, and the updated version as well. The strange thing is they all contain the same KQD6P2.eni, which is identical to the firmware distributed for Linux, but it is different from the version you have. Kinda weird this newer (and better) version seems not to be available I told you i got it from an (not so) old MacOSX driver set. If i look at modem_run 1.2b output to have more details about the firmaware version: Firmware information (CRC:0x3b4a5854, Size:671653, 1.6.1 - MacOSX - Win32(1.0.1800)) Forgot to upgrade to beta2 so I didn't see this. For all the above mentioned firmwares (actually only tested one old, one new) I get: Firmware information (CRC:0x5bca7d16, Size:677641, 2.0.1 - MacOSX - Win32(2.0.0)) But with this newer driver I get loads of these: Cell had wrong VPI(328)/VCI(24272) (OAM?) PTI=0x07 That doesn't look to good. Well, I'll guess I'll try and see if I can contact someone at speedtouchdsl.com and see if they can make the old version available (somewhere where it can be easily found). Thanks for your time.

Hello Edouard, My question is where does this firmware.bin come from? It was a firmware shipped in a MacOSX driver release. MacOSX drivers use raw firmwares, so it was/is a good idea to take them instead of using wrapped firmwares in .dll or .o files. Could you give us the URL where to get this firmware.bin? It seems not to be available in the Mac OSX driver update at http://download.ethomson.com/download/MacOSXdriver2011.zip nor in the driver CD my provider provided me with (which does contain OSX drivers).

[speedtouch] Re: Firmware URL's
Hello Edouard, Why ? I don't claim anything about that file, so i don't want to get emails about it (on my personal box)... I thought it would be useful if somebody wanted to contact you about the possible copyright issues. Sure you can be found via sourceforge, but I thought it would be nicer you could be found easily if there were any objections to you distributing it. Then I've been blacklisted[1] from thomson-multimedia domain, that explains why i was still thinking the speedtouchdsl.com site was down. Can't you still reach it? I could last night, couldn't this morning, but can again right now. I've seen rejects on speedtouchdsl.com and timeouts on alcateldsl.com. I think they just are not very professionally hosted. It was a firmware shipped in a MacOSX driver release. MacOSX drivers use raw firmwares, so it was/is a good idea to take them instead of using wrapped firmwares in .dll or .o files. Now i know Thomson distributes the raw firmware file directly (not a mgmt.o) file. The KQD6P2.eni driver gives very bad results with my Speedtouch 330. This mac driver seems to work quite nicely. Maybe better than the mgmt.o that I used. As I said with the mgmt.o I see USB_DEVFS fails after periods of inactivity (say 1, 2 hours). Just left my firewall on for a couple of hours this afternoon, but I didn't see these fails yet. So it seems this Mac OSX firmware seems to be a good choice for use with the Speedtouch 330. I'll keep you posted if these results stay as good as they seem right now. If so, it's definitely worth mentioning. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?
