Thanks allot, it all works fine now. I added the full path to pppoa2 into ppp.conf, I then rebooted, it did not work at first and gave an error message of "unrecognised protocol 0x7075" when trying to start the connection. I had a look in the list archives, nothing turned up for 0x7075 but I did notice that almost all the other people having problems with a similar description were recommended to add the full path of pppoa2 to ppp.conf. As I had already done this I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I had a look through the documentation and tried starting the connection manually, it didnt work. I then realised that it maybe modem_run not finding the device (as this still came up with the device not found error message on boot up), I checked the command line parameters for modem_run and noticed -d, I tried: modem_run -f /usr/local/libdata/mgmt.o -f -d /dev/ugen0 This took quite a while (a few seconds), I had a look at the modem and lights were flashing on and off, the command didnt return any error messages, I then edited the adsl rc.d script to include this extra parameter for modem_run and on the next reboot it connected without a hitch. super!
Thanks allot for everyones time and effort in developing and supporting these drivers, tommorow I will move over to a NetBSD gateway for my small home network. The previous gateway software I had running was called WinProxy by Ositis, it ran on windows, it cost me money (if I wanted what I will have with bsd, I would of had to of paid more than a thousand dollars), the tecnical support was absolutely terrible - NAT would _not_ work at all, no matter what configuration I changed or how many times I re-installed the software, all tecnical support seemed to be able to suggest was to re-install the software, seriously, I was advised about five times to do this and they had some stupid email system that closed a tecnical support request within 48 hours if you hadnt replied to it. One less customer, one more happy bsd user :-) Thanks Thomas M Clarke ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francois Rogler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 9:06 PM Subject: [speedtouch] Re: NetBSD Problems > > On Tue, Feb 18, 2003 at 03:42:22PM -0000, Thomas M Clarke wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > I'm having problems with the net/speedtouch package, I have an Alcatel > > Speedtouch ADSL usb modem, this connects through a 4 port usb pci card > > (Belkin).
