I launch pppd manually. The error above appears whenever I reboot the machine and try to start pppd without disconnecting and reconnecting the modem. It seems the firmware doesn't load during system bootup. The modem doesn't do the LED sequence. I checked /var/log/messages and saw the following:connect(0.35): Resource temporarily unavailableThis one means that the firmware has not been uploaded yet. You may need to
wait longer between launching modem_run (or speedmgmt) and trying to
establish a connection (increase the sleep number of seconds in the hotplug
script). It used to be that you could open a connection even if the firmware
wasn't uploaded yet, but I changed that.
Oct 1 08:06:47 DSL kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
Oct 1 08:06:47 DSL kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x6b9/0x4061) is not claimed by any active driver.
Oct 1 08:06:47 DSL kernel: Adding Swap: 265064k swap-space (priority -1)
Oct 1 08:06:47 DSL kernel: usb.c: registered new driver speedtch
Is it because speedtch got registered after the modem was detected? If so, how do I correct this?
I also saw the following, I don't know if it's relevant::
Oct 1 08:06:31 DSL init: Entering runlevel: 5 Oct 1 08:06:31 DSL updfstab: unexpected file type for /dev/usb Oct 1 08:06:31 DSL kudzu: Updating /etc/fstab failed Oct 1 08:06:43 DSL kudzu: succeeded
As I mentioned, the modem initializes properly once I disconnect and reconnect the modem. I wait for the "modem initialised" message in /var/log/messages and then run pppd.
So, I need to do is one of the following:
1. Find a way for the firmware to load upon system startup; or
2. Run a script that will load the kernel module, etc. as if I don't have hotplugging. Based on Appendix B of the Howto, I need to run:
modprobe speedtch.o /usr/sbin/speedmgmt &
Would appreciate your comments and/or suggestions. BTW thanks also to Ged for his response and suggestion.
Thanks again.
