I am very much a Linux novice and need help sorting out my intenet connection. I am running reasonably up-to-date hardware set to dual-boot Windows XP and Suse 10, installed from a Linux Format magazine DVD. My ISP is Wanadoo and I am subscribing to the basic 1 meg broadband service, which works OK in Windows.
I have followed the instructions set out in the linux-usb speedtouch suse pages with the following results: The grep command to identify the modem version produces no response. When I check /proc/bus/usb/devices I discover an empty document. As this is a recent installation I assume version 4 of the modem and continue on that basis. I have already downloaded the zip file and firmware extractor and the next set of instructions seems to run smoothly and creates speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin in /lib/firmware, although the copying instruction refers to a 'definition in /etc/hotplug.d/firmware/50-firmware.hotplug' which I am unable to find. I add my log-in details to both pap-secrets and chap-secrets, and on saving them there is a message 'ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 7292, errno = 0'; on subsequent checking both of the two secrets files appear to have been correctly altered and saved. I follow the 'Connect on boot' instructions and again everything seems OK but when I reboot nothing much happens, certainly no green lights on the modem. I eventually find a log file and see within it the message 'The SpeedTouch firmware did not load' which is included in the bootscript. Where do I do now?
