Hi.
After one week trying to get that green thing (Alcatal SpeedTouch USB)
to work I decided to ask for some external help. I've managed to establish
connection and everything seems running just fine. But approx. once an hour
the modem (or driver or something) locks up and connection is broken.
Actually,
I'm able to reproduce this lockup quite reliably by downloading one specific
file from Internet. Logs don't give much info about this problem, pppoe just
fails reading and times out waiting for PADO offer:
pppoe[394]: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Session 4552: Input/output error
pppoe[515]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
After this lockup I'm not able to reconnect and I'm forced to reload usb
module
and modem microcode to connect again. I'm using kernel driver for SpeedTouch
together with RFC 2684 bridge (my provider supports PPPoE only) and
rp-pppoe.
I tried to trace the packets in "frozen" state by using "pppoe -A" command
(access concentrator discovery). The packets are comming through nas0
interface
(RFC 2684 bridge) and they arrive to ATM AAL5 layer. Unfortunately, I
was not
able to find out whether they actually arrive to modem via USB.
Well, anyone has an idea how to get rid of these lockups?
Thanks for your help
Andrej
I almost forgot ... my configuration:
An old Pentium 133, 64MB RAM, running Slackware 10.0
Kernel 2.4.27 / 2.6.8.1 (doesn't matter which one I boot, lockups occur)
Driver: speedtch version: 1.8
Alcatel SpeedTouch USB modem: revision: 000a (this is weird, never saw
this one in previous posts)
I tried 3 or 4 different firmwares with no effect on this problem.
