this sounds confused. That's ok, it's easy to be confused because there are two different drivers for this beast. And what's more, they used to share some code too (modem_run). The drivers are (a) "kernel driver", i.e. a kernel module; (b) "usermode driver", i.e. a driver which runs entirely as a normal program. If you have both of these drivers installed then they can fight for control of the modem, which can lead to strange results. I see from your log file that pppd is trying to connect to the kernel mode driver. You'll have to choose one driver or the other. Since I use the kernel mode driver I will tell you about that. You can read all about it at http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ The kernel driver will automagically load the firmware on system boot, as long as (a) you have a reasonably recent distribution, and (b) you put the right firmware in the right directory (the following command will hopefully give you the list of allowed directories: grep "FIRMWARE_DIRS=" /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent ). Are (a) and (b) ok? What firmware did you put there? If you are using the kernel driver, then don't use modem_run. > Still - no worries, put the hotplug script into the /etc/hotplug dir, > although no idea how this is called, I assume linux internals look for > scripts, or excute all scripts on hotplug event, still, no joy with that > either. Your assumption is right. Which hotplug script are you using? Did you put it in /etc/hotplug/ or in /etc/hotplug/usb/? > Oct 30 22:29:29 linux pppd[7102]: connect(0.38): No such device What does cat /proc/net/atm/speed* give? Ciao, Duncan.
