I just installed mandrake 9 again, a totally clean install, and my speedtouch wouldn't work.
Then I installed mandrake 8.2, and my speedtouch would not work (even though it used to under 8.2 once upon a time).
I am totally at a loss.
Someone once asked me to run lspcidrake -v and provide the output, so it has been attached.
I am looking for a cheap adsl router, however anyone that can do magic to save me any more expense, will get a pat on the back and a cup of tea.

Phil, Good advice! I think I'm going to take it. That particular box may not be available to me as the equipment needs to be Austel approved (I'm in Australia), but the principal of avoiding USB for such devices is sound.cheers Brian On Tue, 2002-10-22 at 05:25, Philip Crowe wrote:Brian, I know it's not really helping your problem but.. I had a lot of annoying probs with the speedtouch in the past with 8.2. Easiest (well, longest term...) solution was the Dlink DSL-504. Cheap and cheerful solution to an annoying, but, I'm sure, solvable problem. Most of the problems were with USB but went away when I dispatched the 'frog' to the bin. Just thought it might be worth thinking about.

I get no lights on the modem and I suspect that there should be at least this small sign of life if the USB port was active. I am going to play with it on another machine and also try a printer on the USB port as a first step. I'll post again with the result. cheers Brian On Mon, 2002-10-21 at 00:17, ET wrote:have either of you tried the google search for
"speedtouch_mgmt-0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm" I know there is one in the Mandrake club.

Quoting Brian Parish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Can anyone out there point me at a how-to on this that is:
1. Not in French
2. At the URL advertised
3. In step with the parts that 9.0 does during installation
During the install I told the installer I had one of these and it brought up a screen in which I could enter my ADSL account details. For some reason I was supposed to be in a country a long
way from where I actually was, so I didn't worry too much about this, assuming that this was stuff destined for /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and the like.
It then told me that I needed to download the binary from Alcatel and gave me a URL that worked. I was also supposed to put mgmt.o (extracted from the downloaded archive) into /usr/share/speedtouch
Did all that. Also read the how-to that comes with this package. It says I need to put mgmt.o somewhere else which doesn't exist, so I didn't and suggests I need to download and install some hotplug stuff which Mandrake seems to have already taken care of -
so I didn't.
So now what? I downloaded speedconnect2.2-1 which has some scripts that make connecting "easy". They seem to have installed OK, but tell me they can't find my modem. It's plugged in, but with no signs of life.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices says:

which seems to indicate that USB exists, but may or may not indicate that something else is amiss.
The Alcatel site points me at:
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/howto.html
but the URL is broken. :( sigh
