Hi Linux ADSLers
I am trying to get the Alcatel USB SpeedTouch modem
running on RedHat 7.0. I seem get a
system lock up condition after modem_run -m -f /root/adsl/mgmt/mgmt.o. One complication is that I had previously tried the Alcatel (Johan Verrept) driver and installed Hotplugging in the process. Here are my details ... Pentium I-166 MHz, 256 MB RAM, VxPro
MotherBoard
RedHat 7.0 ; kernel upgraded to 2.4.9
Kernel PPP options
------------------ PPP Support [y] PPP Support for async serial ports [y] PPP Support for sync tty ports [y] PPP Deflate Compression [y] PPP BSD-Compress compression [m] PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL) [n] PPP over ATM(EXPERIMENTAL) [y] Kernel USB
options
------------------- Support for USB [y] Preliminary USB Device filesystem [y] UHCI (Intel PIIX4, ...) [m] UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) Support [m] OHCI (Compaq, ...) Support [m] HDLC Options
------------ HDLC line discipline support [m] Unix98 PTY support [y] Benoit's SpeedTouch driver version speedtouch-20011007 Alcatel SpeedTouch Firmware (mgmt.o) 1.3.4 pppd version 2.4.0b1
I previously attempted to use Alcatel supplied driver and installed
Hot-Plugging
as required in the installation procedure for that. I gave up with this after no progress -:( I have tried to disable Hot-Plug Support
for the SpeedTouch by editing /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch as follows ----------- /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch
BEGIN-----------------
#!/bin/bash # configuration and startup-script for the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB
modem
# 20 Oct 2001 - Disabled this script by adding
comments
# in order to try Benoit Papillaut's user space # Alcatel SpeedTouch USB ADSLModem driver # to disable hotplugging for this device # case $ACTION in add)
# start mesg [SpeedTouch Inserting module]. -DISABLED IN HOTPLUG SCRIPT. # modprobe -k speedtch mesg [SpeedTouch Attempting to start mangement deamon] -DISABLED IN
SCRIPT.
# /usr/sbin/speedmgmt & ;; remove)
# killall speedmgmt ;; esac
----------- /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch END----------------- In my first attempt to use Benoit's user space driver I found that
modem_run -m -f /root/adsl/mgmt/mgmt.o
would fail because the SpeedTouch Modem was already under the control of
the /usr/bin/speedmgmt process [the Alcatel modem manager]. After disasbling speedmgmt in the /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch script, I get further when I try /sbin/lsmod shows that usb-oci is already loaded :-
Module
Size Used
by
usb-ohci 19164 0 (unused) # /sbin/modprobe n_hdlc
# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by n_hdlc 6496 0 (unused) usb-ohci 19164 0 (unused) Then I get system lockup [my keyboard and mouse don't respond
anymore]
after # modem_run -m -f /root/adsl/mgmt/mgmt.o
# /usr/sbin/pppd call adsl
In /var/log/messages I get

I suspect I am having a USB problem ??
Any help or pointers would be appreciated
