Try this patch (only for 2.6.5): http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED] The last two hunks of this patch failed on my 2.6.5 source, ot sure if Ishould have been using a newer source or not. Anyway, I ended up going back to 2.4.24, but after all that 2.6.5 suddenly started working for the person I was helping and still works at the tie of writing, so all ended well anyway :) I think I will try 2.4.25 or 24 and see if that improves things. Only thing is I compiled modem_run using 2.6 headers, maybe I should start again with 2.4 headers also. It shouldn't make any difference. Ciao, Duncan. yes, you're right, it didn't, all the programs worked fine on the 2.4 kernel. The only thing I had trouble with was I compiled my 2.4 kernel while running 2.6, and when I booted it my modules had unresolved symbols. Then I saw somewhere you need to compile a kernel while running the same version, so I cross-compiled from another 2.4 machine and then it worked.

...We're using the 2.6.5 kernel driver. uhci? If so, either upgrade to 2.6.6 (coming soon now) or downgrade to an earlier kernel. Ciao, Duncan. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Duncan, This is very interesting, so there are problems with the uhci code in 2.6 kernels up to now? Are these general problems or something specific to Speedtouch and line syncing?

Not up to now: just that kernel. Some major changes went into the uhci code in the last release (I think), and one change was buggy. Of course this may have nothing to do with your problem. Do you see the same thing with other 2.6 kernels? Ciao, Duncan. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you see the same thing with other 2.6 kernels? Just a followup on Duncan's comment, if the kernel you're speaking about is 2.6.5, lots of problems have been reported with bluetooth adapters, usbnet, etc. so it is very definitively the uhci code. The bluez mailing lists has a few recent messages on the usb problems. --- Jose Bernardo B R Silva | Source Mage GNU/Linux Section Guru [EMAIL PROTECTED]| http://www.sourcemage.org http://counter.li.org #245602 http://cosmos.oninetspeed.pt/jose.bernardo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] Re: Line monitoring
Haven't tried other kernels, but this is useful information to know. Would you say (generally speaking) that many problems with the Speedtouch losing sync at the ATM layer are because of USB code problems rather than actually problems with the line (noise, etc..)?

I don't know about losing sync, but in general modem_run has been having a hard time with the 2.6 kernels so far. Do you get this with 2.4? All the best, Duncan.

I was using the user mode driver in 2.4, then I moved to 2.6 a couple of months ago and also to the kernel driver. I personally have had no problems with it, but I've been trying to help a couple of other people who both hit this problem. I've created a boot CD for use with an ISP here in the UK that offers MLPPP http://www.freestuffjunction.co.uk/bondedcd.shtml It is based on 2.6.5 and it works for me but two other people who have tested it have had problems. I think I will try 2.4.25 or 24 and see if that improves things. Only thing is I compiled modem_run using 2.6 headers, maybe I should start again with 2.4 headers also.

Thanks! I will try this and report back.
