Package: speedtouch
Version: speedtouch_1.3.1-3_i386.deb
Installing speedtouch USB modem has allways been a great problem for me
(Sarge 3.1) :
1) I definitely need the speedtouch kernel module, so don't disactivate
the loading in /etc/hotplug/blacklist
2) After doing all the things pointed
in /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/Readme.Debian, I needed some more
configuration : /etc/ppp/chap-secrets was enough on a LFS system, but
with Debian I need /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (?)
3) Some ppp_* modules need to be loaded before everything works (and THIS
is definitely not indicated in the Readme.Debian documentation) :
ppp_synctty, ppp_async and ppp_deflate, and maybe pppoatm (I'm not sure
EVERYTHING is needed).
After all this, the connection works. But I lost some configuration after
downloading security upgrades on Internet with aptitude, and this has not
yet been investigated.
I think the Debian documentation going with the packet should be modified
with a section : "what should you check if it doesn't work", especially
where to find clues about what is going wrong.
Hope this will be useful to others.
