It worked! 

Thank you, Gilles, from remembering me the debug option. I put it in place
and next activation attempt showed me that the authentication was rejected
by my ISP: I was not sending my userid and password! The issue was in
pap-secrets file where the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and password were not enclosed in
double quotes. Once I put double quotes around them I was back online in the
next pppd activation attempt. Now it is a matter of setting up my firewall
and IP masquerading to allow my two sons to access internet again from my
home network.

Lessons learned: Do not try to set up two computers at the same time, or if
you do, do exactly the same steps in both of them. I had the pap-secrets
corrected in one machine but not in the other.

Now I will try to work backwards to try to find out why my initial set-up
did not work. I'll keep you informed of my findings.

Thank you all, for your precious time in helping me

Add debug in you options.
You will see why the peer disconnect you.
Probably the server ask an option not supported on your side.

It should be not an authentification issue as you have receiced IP in some of
your previous log.

Concerning

it is only warnings because PPPoE can't support such mru/mtu size due to PPPoE
overhead.

Look if the warnings disappear if you add to yours options

Yes, I learned that simple renaming of the ifcfg-ppp0 file does not work: I
had to move the file.
This also resolved another situation which I didn't report before: The boot
process hanged when the network interfaces were being brought up, namely the
ppp0, when the speedtouch modem was not connected to the USB port.

Yes, the two computers are connected with ethernet. Actually, I have a
network of eight Intel based computers and two HP pa-risc servers. I have
another connection to Internet in a third computer through a 56k usb modem
and switched line in Win/98 environment, which is usually inactive (and has

2005-01-27 Thread Jyrki Leppanen

Yesterday evening I tried with the older firmware versions but unfortunately
the problem remains exactly the same. 

But in the sequence of several re-boots I found other problems related to
the soundcard present in the machine: In one boot it was detected and in the
next it was not. Therefore I have decided to start from scratch: I have
another unused box to which I will install the Fedora Core 3 during the
weekend (I have no time during the week) and I will use that computer to set
up my gateway to Internet. I will keep you informed of my progress with the
speedtouch modem.

In the meantime I would like to thank everyone for the help I have received.

This firmware is quite old. The new one is really the 3.012 version 
available on the Thomson web site as well:

http://www.speedtouch.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm

Even if this file is labelled to be only for the SpeedTouch 330, it also 
contains the firmware for previous SpeedTouch revision.

No, this is not my IP and I haven't entered those values anywhere. They just
appear as part of the ppp startup which, when my pervious system was
working, were allocated by my ISP from a pool of reserved addresses. So
definitely this is not from my ISP neither entered by myself. There is no
information about DNS numbers.

What is curious is that the modem has not yet been loaded with firmware and
is not able to communicate when those messages appear. I think I have to
start looking deeper into the start-up process.

Hi,

I have the same speedtouch model and I use the latest 3.012 firmware
(KQD6_3.012 splitted as instructed in the webpage) without no problem.

In fact without this firmware I had stability issues with "ungrouped"

The messages about MTU and MRU are normal when you're doing PPPoE. 1500 is the 
default 
value but the peer resets it during negotiation.

[speedtouch] Re: Speedtouch and Fedora Core 3

2005-01-25 Thread Aad Rijnberg

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
