Hi Andrew, > Is there any way of looking up the connection status (speed, etc) in /proc > or > somewhere?
this is passed from the kernel to userspace using an ATM ioctl, namely ATM_GETLINKRATE. The atm signalling daemon knows about this ioctl, and has code for getting the link rate - but this code doesn't seem to be used anywhere! In short, you can probably write your own small piece of code that gets the link rate, but right now I didn't find a tool that gives it (maybe someone wrote one already). You can also use grep to extract it from your system logs. > Aslo, although my connection seems fine, my kernel log is flooded with these: > > ATM dev 0: speedtch_check_status entered > ATM dev 0: speedtch_check_status: line state 20 > ATM dev 0: speedtch_check_status entered > ATM dev 0: speedtch_check_status: line state 20 > > Is that normal and what does it mean? Any way of calming it down? You have a modem which requires the line state to be polled, i.e. queried regularly. Not all modems need this, but recent ones do. This message is printed because debugging is turned on in the module. Debugging is probably turned on because you have CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y in your kernel's config. I will change things so that this message is considered a "verbose" debug message, so is not turned on by CONFIG_USB_DEBUG. Ciao, Duncan.
