Hi! I'm writing in english as my french is almost forgotten, but if somebody replies in french I think I'll be able to understand it.
I wanted to report a couple of problems. First let me tell you that I have a sagem eagle3 modem that wanadoo is giving now in spain, before they used to give sagem eagle2 based and even before comtrend eagle1 based. The pack of the eagle3 comes with new drivers, they are eagle-usb 1.9.9 or some cvs around 1.9.9 plus a patch for eagle3 with the firmware for eagle3 and all that. If this stuff is not yet known and anybody wants to take a look at it, I can mail it to whomever asks. Well, the problems I have are either with eagle-usb 2.0.0 driver or with the one that comes with the wanadoo package, both behave quite similar. I'm using them in a dual pentium 200 machine (smp enabled) and I find two things: I get some "Modem is operational" messages throughout the normal usage of the net, what I mean is that after the ppp is up and all that and without it going down I get this messages, like if the modem had lost the line, in fact, that is what I think is happening, but I don't know why. This is the status of the modem right now: eagle-usb status display ------------------------------------------------------------- Driver version 2 USB Bus : 003 USB Device : 003 Dbg mask: 0x0 Ethernet Interface : eth5 MAC: 00:60:4c:53:3d:a6 Tx Rate 0000000128 Rx Rate 0000000512 Crc 0000000000 FEC 0000000000 Margin 0000000044 Atten 0000000000 dB VID-CPE 0000000000 VID-CO 0000000028 HEC 0000000000 VPI 0000000008 VCI 0000000035 Delin GOOD Cells Rx 0000473653 Cells Tx 0000583916 Pkts Rx 0000101571 Pkts Tx 0000103852 OAM 0000000000 Bad VPI 0000000000 Bad CRC 0000000000 Oversiz. 0000000000 Modem is operational I don't know if this tells you something or if you need some other data. The other problem is with 2.4 kernel, I find that whe system hangs after doing the eaglectrl -d to upload the firmware (I'm running 2.4.29) I'm open to sugestions on what to try here, but it seems there is a problem with your driver on 2.4 kernels, at least on smp machines, if I may help in any testing, I'll do it. Well, that's it, except for the line loses and the hangs in 2.4 kernels, everything is fine, quick connection, always at the first time, ... :-) Regards... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
