The DSL HOWTO

http://feenix.burgiss.net/ldp/adsl/overview.html
"IteX PCI ADSL modems, based on the Apollo chipset,
have Linux drivers. (Modems using this chipset are sold
under a number of various brand names.)"

and

"IteX PCI ADSL modem based on the Apollo chipset, also sold under
various other brand names such as Dlink and
ALH110. http://www.itexinc.com/.

makes me think that this PCI card should be OK.

The install instructions that came with the card basically say to
install the modem driver then connect via PPPoE.
Reading the Bearing docs makes me think that PCI modems
need to be installed as PPPoA but the DSL howto makes me think PPPoE
should be fine. mmmm I'm confused!...

The driver that came on the CD with the card was for Kernel 2.4.2
itex1483-2.4.2-2.o
and when I tried to load it;

# insmod itex1483-2.4.2-2.o vpi=8 vci=35 framing=1
Using itex1483-2.4.2-2.o
insmod: unresolved symbol tvec_bases

I have found a driver from
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/drivers/speedtouch-pci/1483
/itex1483-2.4.16.o
which seems to load OK, the modem lights react correctly,
I get Sync.

but on reboot with the driver in /lib/modules and
called in /etc/modules by;
itex1483-2.4.2-2 vpi=8 vci=35 framing=1

I get a kernel panic.
Full dump from my serial console at;
http://63.111.28.72/panic.txt


I have looked high and low for a more appropriate driver,
any clues would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Andrew Braund

PS I have been able to get ADSL working fine on this Bearing firewall
using an Alcatel Speedtouch Ethernet modem following the PPPoE
instructions in the Bearing user guide;
