Hi all,
My adsl connexion on my brand new FC2 installation comes back this
morning, thanks to all of you on this list !
So, for all the guys that didn't manage to connect yet, here are some
RPM I made to make speedtouch green manta modem works (and maybe others)
on your FC2
http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2/
maybe somebody can mirror this link on a server with a larger bandwidth
than my adsl connexion, in order more people can access it.
For the solution, I recompile the kernel of redhat with the patches
duncan gave us 2 days ago + all the missing config options (ATM, pppoa,
speedtouch), I compile linux-atm, pppd with the pppoa patch find on
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch and modem_run of Benoit papillault
(speedtouch-1.2 package).
After you install the above packages, you need to configure you
pap/chap-secret files and put your username and vci.vpi in the
/etc/ppp/peers/speedtch file installed by the speedtouch package. and
then you plug your modem and start your connection with :
service adsl start
you can add in your crontab a script to check your connection :
*/5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/check_adsl.sh
And that's all folks !
Thanks again for your help and I hope my contribution will help !
Best regards,
Fred
