[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.

Since there currently is no way to reset the modem the only thing you can do is either unplug it, or remove the usb modules from the kernel and reinsert them again (rmmod usb-uhci; sleep 1; modprobe usb-uhci). The latter not being a good option if you use usb peripherals like a keyboard or a mouse, but if you don't you could use it. > I sincerely appologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to > project the entire picture.

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 (?)).

[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.

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.

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.

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?

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 ;) .

Indeed unused_cells is set to NULL. Also I don't really get your point.
Whenever num_bytes_read is not zero -num_bytes_read will be smaller than 0...
The two checks whether pti == 1 can be merged. Dropping the "idiotic frame
length" check, using the constants from atm.h, renaming n1 to nb_cells,
moving the declaration of nb_cells inside the if (pti == 1) and simplifiying
the payload length calculation renders the following patch:

[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 length"s 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_read<0) 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(). Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!

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.

Hi Marwan, > I'm sorry about the previous mails, but it seems my mozilla is f*g up. I noticed you were having some issues with your quotes ;-) . > 1 - I completely deactivated the firewall, but that didn't solve my > problem. I'd also like to add that I can't even ping the DNS server! > Where can I check what DNS serve my connection is using (and eventually fix > it?) Not sure what the "doctor" is you mentioned in your first mail. I assume a script to check connection settings. Are you using the user mode or the kernel mode driver? You say you can't ping the DNS server, but you also don't know which DNS server you are using. How does that work? By the way, the DNS server is mentioned in the output you sent us in your previous mail. Can't you ping any outside machine by IP? If pinging or browsing by IP works (note that some internet servers, eg http://www.redhat.com do *not* reply to pings, try 195.135.220.3 for http://www.suse.de) you can set your /etc/resolv.conf to use known DNS servers. To use the DNS servers provided by your ISP you need to add the "usepeerdns" option to the ppp config file (typically /etc/ppp/peers/adsl). This will update /etc/ppp/resolv.conf, which you will have to copy to /etc/resolv.conf. I do this in my adsl startup script. If pinging or browsing by IP does not work and your firewall is down I wouldn't know what the problem is. Your output from ifconfig looks fine. > 2 - I thought the kernel that shipped with RH9 would be the most recent > version! Where can I get the newest one (and what version number is it?) ? Security updates can be found at your local Red Hat mirror. See http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html . When using the Red Hat ftp server the path is ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates . Should be similar on mirrors. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?

Apart from removing kdebug from the config file last weeks I have also been booting into RH 9 with a standard RH kernel, instead of into my PaX-ed RH 7.3 kernel with propoliced pppd. Duh! Had already forgotten that I changed the default shortly before testing the kdebug level. Not that I see any killed tasks by either the PaX kernel or propolice when I have USBDEVFS_BULK failed's, but I now assume the problem lies with either of these, and not the kdebug level of pppd.

I used to have this problem, but wrote just 2 days ago that I solved it by removing "kdebug 7" from the pppd config file (called "adsl" in most docs). What does your config file look like? > /sbin/insmod usb-ohci I seem to use usb-uhci on my firewall (Red Hat 9 as well, Pentium 3, same on Athlon 800).

On the website (http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html) you can find a file called firmware.bin which many seem to use. I myself use the latest official driver from http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip . For that driver you need a patch which you can find on my website (http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html). That patch fixes problems with the calculation of frame CRC's. It also uses an extra thread to read and write from/to USB, but that seems to be unnecessary (you don't have to use it to fix the CRC errors). I hope a cleaned up version of that patch (without the extra pipe) will soon be merged. For now you can safely use the "full" patch, with or without the extra pipe. > 1.

[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

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.

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).

[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!

[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

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.

[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()?

[speedtouch] void report() code comments
Hi,
I have a few comments regarding the code of void report(). This function
is available in very similar form in modem_run.c, pppoa2.c and pppoa3.c.
For my examples I'll use pppoa3.c.
First it is not clear to me why everything is logged with log level
LOG_INFO in case REPORT_DUMP is not set. I do believe one also wants log
level separation in case REPORT_DUMP is not set. In that case the logging
code would be identical whether REPORT_DUMP is set or not. Only the
initialisation of buffer and length should be done in the if block.
My second comment regards the order of the variables passed to report().
It seems a bit unlogical to pass the format parameter as the last variable
in case REPORT_DUMP is set. If the order of the parameters is rearranged so
the format parameter comes directly after the format variable (ie it is the
fourth parameter independent of whether REPORT_DUMP is set) the setting of
buffer and length can be done directly before dump() in the same if block.
In that case the whole section between /* Prints log message */ and /*
UnLock the report mutex */ can then be simplified to:
#ifndef USE_SYSLOG
vfprintf(log, format, ap);
#else
char msg[256];
vsnprintf(msg, 256, format, ap);
if(flags&REPORT_ERROR)
syslog(LOG_ERR, msg);
else if (flags&REPORT_INFO)
syslog(LOG_INFO, msg);
else if (flags&REPORT_DEBUG)
syslog(LOG_DEBUG, msg);
#endif
#ifndef USE_SYSLOG
/* If needed we include the strerror from libc */
if(flags & REPORT_PERROR)
fprintf(log, "Reason : %s\n", strerror(errno));
#endif
if(flags & REPORT_DUMP) {
buffer = va_arg(ap, char*);
length = va_arg(ap, int);
dump(buffer, length);
}
va_end(ap);
I am happy to supply a patch that fixes this for modem_run.c, pppoa2.c and
pppoa3.c.
Bye,
Leonard.

[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. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?

Hi, I wrote: > It looks like the code for function dump is buggy.

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!

[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.

I see them as well, but I think they only appear after a long time of inactivity. (Running a 330 here.) By the way, does anybody know why 1.2beta2 works so poorly with the latest offcial firmware from Thomson? > the only way > I've found to cure it is to reboot :( That seems a bit excessive.

[speedtouch] Re: RH9 and speedtouch USB green and club-internet HELP
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.

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.

[speedtouch] Firmware URL's
Hello, Last night I downloaded the latest firmware for the SpeedTouch USB modem for use with Linux via http://www.speedtouchdsl.com or http://www.alcateldsl.com. For those of you who hate the registration nag screen as much as I do, you can download directly if you have the correct URL, fe http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip . I am using a 330, and before used the mgmt.o firmware. Because I am still seeing USB_DEVFS errors after some inactivity I decided to download the latest firmware. Although the KQD6P2.eni file seems to work somewhat I am soon getting errors concerning wrong VPI/VCI values. So I had a look at http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net and noticed the firmware.bin file that is made available there. (Gomez, maybe it is a good idea to add your email address at this page.) My question is where does this firmware.bin come from? A direct URL avoiding the nag screen would be great. I can't find any reference to this firmware anywhere on the sites I searched. (No idea why Thomson is speaking of Linux "support".) Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!

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.

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? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo! End all weapons of mass destruction.
