I'll take that as a "it should work" and throw everything in here that I can find.
I have all the specified kernel options turned on and am running Kern 2.6.8. The Debian speedtouch and hotplug packages are installed. I am currently using the firmware.bin file from http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/files/firmware.bin The file /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch seems different from that specified in the config but I added the relevant parts to where they appear they should be MODEM_RUN_OPTIONS="-k -f /usr/local/lib/firmware.bin" PPPD_PEER="speedtouch" Currently its not getting to the PPPoe part but if I try to run it by hand it complains of: /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/speedtouch: unrecognized option 'nas0' Currently I also have an issue getting it to auto insert the pppoe module but I am inserting that by hand with modprobe pppoe to get around this. I can fix this but one thing at a time. Looking at the non-deb install guide I don't seem to have the binary management app installed, instead having modem_run. I also don't seem to have any hotplug lines in the syslog files as it suggest [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 06b9 P: Vendor=06b9 ProdID=4061 Rev= 3.00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat "/proc/net/atm/speedtch:0" SpeedTouch 500 Series (usb-0000:00:07.2-2) MAC: 00:0e:50:16:bc:41 AAL5: tx 0 ( 0 err ), rx 0 ( 0 err, 0 drop ) Line state unknown, no firmware [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dmesg ---snip--- usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 usbcore: registered new driver speedtch [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tail /var/log/syslog Sep 15 20:08:41 kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1473]: speedtch: loaded successfully Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1466]: speedtch: loaded successfully Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1480]: speedtch: loaded successfully Sep 15 20:08:46 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver speedtch Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1466]: speedtouch: loaded successfully Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1473]: speedtouch: loaded successfully Sep 15 20:08:46 usb.agent[1480]: speedtouch: loaded successfully > Start with base > what show > cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 06b9 Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
