[speedtouch] Modem disconnect script
Doesn't there need to be a disconnect script in order for pppd to nicely shutdown the ADSL connection? I can tell you that if I unplug the modem, the kernel modules remain locked for several (possibly many) hours before I can remove them. If I plug the modem back in, pppd can't establish a connection. Has anybody thought of writing a pppd disconnect script? Peace, William Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Peace, William Just type 'route' in a terminal before and after your pppd is up and paste the two results, maybe we can come up with something for you :) Got it to work somehow. Problem was editting my masquerading firewall script so that the device was ppp1 now instead of ppp0. Thanks! One more question for the list: how do I disconnect the modem? Just unplugging it leaves the drivers loaded and reserved for a VERY long time; I also can't recconnect after that, unless I wait for the drivers to clear for removal, or I reboot. Thanks again in advance! William Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Aad Rijnberg wrote: [snip] /snip - from this I see two (different) problems: 1) the firmware downloading modem goes wrong 2) pppoatm.so is missing Do you have any suggestions for next steps that I can take? Regards, Aad I'm using Fedora Core 1, but I'll throw in my 2 cents. The first cent is that Fedora Core 2 final is out, so you need to get it. Next, it looks like you didn't install everything from speedbundle. Then again, neither did I, but you still need most of it. Are you sure that everything compiled and installed? Did you make sure to get the necessary firmware (It's not included with speedbundle!)? You need to move your pppd executables out of the way and install the pppd found in speedbundle. This will place the necessary pppoatm.so plugin. But read the rest of this first. run ./configure from the root of the speedbundle directory. It will tell you what values you need to fill in the ppp_scripts and if you need the firmware file (you do have the firmware file, right?) There is a bug in the ppp_scripts, you need to edit speedtch and replace the 0.00 with your VPI and VCI numbers for your service. I think that you need the kernel-source package installed, but I'm not certain. Then try to make. If you get an error on the make, do a make clean, re-./configure. You will most likely fail on the linux-atm or ppp. If that's the case, you don't really need linux-atm (someone correct me if I'm wrong; if I'm right, i would suggest leaving it out anyways, I think this unnecessarily writes over stuff in your existing kernel), so you can make and make install on each of the directories individually, leaving out linux-atm. If you look at the top-level Makefile, you'll see how it does this (you'll want to copy its lines). If the make fails on ppp, check the output, it is most likely complaining about the kernel. In that case, you need to use a standard Linux kernel for the build rather than the Fedora Linux kernel (don't forget to move your original pppd executeables out of the way before installing the new pppd). If you don't want to mess with the standard Linux kernel, this website http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/, once updated for Fedora Core 2, will have rpms for a kernel that is reasonable close enough the standard Linux kernel to work (there will be two versions of the kernel on this site, a Fedora-like kernel and a std-Linux-like kernel). If you still get this error: May 23 08:07:47 localhost kernel: usbfs: process 1608 (modem_run) did not claim interface 0 before use then I suggest editing /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtch and increase the sleep time. I rebuilt the source RPM from this site, rather than using the speedbundle's firmware loader (they are essentially the same, though): http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html rpmbuild --rebuild some.src.rpm The resulting rpm ends up in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/your architecture/ the redhat might be fedora or something else now that they are on Fedora Core 2. Then I installed the RPM. If you can still get this to work with speedbundle and without the RPM, great, but I couldn't for some reason. If you do install the firmware loaders without the RPM, great, but I couldn't get it done. However, if you do install this RPM, be sure to erase the firmware loaders installed by speedbundle.

I just thought of something, a sleep time before the modem_run statement might be necessary on your system if my previous suggestion doesn't work.

[speedtouch] How is modem_run loading automatically? (Fedora Core 1)
Hi, I tried sending this out before, but my questions didn't get answered, so I'll try again. I'm sorry if the developers felt like they were flamed. I'd really appreciate your help. So I need to know this: 1. How are modem_run and pppd automatically being started when I plug in my modem? I am bugged being a GNU/Linux user/administrator who has no clue what a piece of his system is doing behind his back. 2. Why is modem_run being loaded three times when I plug in the modem, and how can I get it to load only once?. 3. How can I get pppd to load the modem as ppp1 instead of ppp0? 4. PPPd won't let ppp0 (or ppp1, whatever) take priority as being The Internet Connection over my Ethernet card, which is connected to my home network, not to the Internet at all. How can I get the ppp device to take priority (and if possible, automatically)? Thanks, William Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[speedtouch] How is modem_run loading automatically? (Fedora Core 1)
Hi, I went through an awful lot of pain to get this to work. Let me say that speedbundle does NOT work just out of the box! I ended up rebuilding a binary RPM file from the source RPM available at this site: http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html However, since my system was already a mess from previously trying to install from Benoit Papillault's SpeedTouch USB for *nix SourceForge project (I don't know why you say that his project is an alternative: half of your software is all of his software!), then SpeedBundle from the Linux-USB project, I have no clue how things got working. However, they did not start working until I had all three piled on top of each other, and then I had to do a little trimming to get rid of excess copies of modem_run in the path. Although it wasn't quite working, because I restored my PPP files from before, so I had to recompile the PPP included with SpeedBundle, and install it again. Once that was in, I think that it was the supposedly It should all 'just work' SpeedBundle left a key flaw of not asking for the VCI and VPI settings for the /etc/ppp/peers/adsl file, (they were left at 0.00) so I had to write those in myself. I had no clue what the 0.00 was there for, I had to dig out its meaning from some other text. So now I need to know this: 1. How are modem_run and pppd automatically being started when I plug in my modem? I am bugged being a GNU/Linux user/administrator who has no clue what a piece of his system is doing behind his back. 2. Why is modem_run being loaded three times when I plug in the modem, and how can I get it to load only once? (To the why, someone will might say, duh, because you installed three packages that all included it on top of each other, but it didn't load at all until I got the third one in). 3. How can I get pppd to load the modem as ppp1 instead of ppp0? 4. PPPd won't let ppp0 (or ppp1, whatever) take priority as being The Internet Connection over my Ethernet card, which is connected to my home network, not to the Internet at all. How can I get the ppp device to take priority (and if possible, automatically)? Thanks, William Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
