Not there. So I put it there and saved it, open to chech it was still there.
then make menuconfig - no option for it. Save config file on the way out
Check .config again - Gone! I searched manually and automatically for "speedtouch" and it's just not there! Perhaps I should post a message in the Kernel section.

I believe it's dependant on some other kernel settings. Have you checked to make sure you have all the other settings from the first post in this thread?
I think the ATM stuff is needed before speedtouch drivers appear as an option.

Erhm guys. Im just about to make my switch to linux (for good hopefully) and it seems i'm one of the ufortunates to have a speedtouch 300. Im a total Linux n00b and i have been frantically reading up on everything. How easy is it going to be for me (a person with no linux experiance whatsoever) to install gentoo and then my modem?
I printed out the howto, but what if something goes wrong, im screwed because i wont have net access. Will it just be easier for me to buy another modem instead of going grey at 17 or should i bite my lip, make a mistake, learn from it and learn a bit more about linux?  I dont have any other hard drives kicking around so i cant really install linux on another one incase i mess up, lol.

Buy an ethernet modem!!! makes life sooo simple!.
Or failing that create a windows/linux dualboot system.
You'd learn a lot from trying to install your speedtouch (like I did the first time...) but you need a good backup to access here to find out how to fix it when it don't work the first time  |

lol, yeah. Ethernet modem eh? Thanks mate! I'lll jump out and get one incase i cant get the speedtouch to work. Not going to give up on it cos i have a feeling that I could learn alot from this that i'll need later.

| The modem is a bobby dazzler when it works, and the mailing list are worth signing up for on the driver site. Took me two days to get working the first time there is far too much help out there, syslog became my freind, although there are really too many files out there are the moment, although there seems to be lots of work on the driver, updates are with every kernel. |

|
|
Bonjour a tous,
Je suis nouveau sous gentoo (malgre qq annees d'experience sous linux) et j'essaie de connecter mon modem Alcatel Speedtouch USB.
J'ai suivi a la lettre le howto de fazto, pius celui de la doc fournie avec le package speedtouch, mais rien a faire...
Je suis les instructions de fazto et tout va bien jusqu'a l'instruction:
# /etc/init.d/speedtouch start
Reponse:
* Starting speedtouch ADSL Modem ...
* Loading firmware ...
* Can't load the microcode!!
La dessus, je fais un ifconfig ppp0 et il me repond:
#ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: erreur lors de la recherche d'infos sur l'interface: Periferique non trouve
Finalement, je verifie ma config noyau et en particulier que j'ai bien compile le PPP support en module; c'est bon...
Mais, en essayant de faire un "modprobe ppp_generic", il me repond:
#modprobe ppp_generic
WARNING: Error inserting ppp_generic (/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.ko) : Device or resource busy
Resultat, bien sur les modules qui dependent de ppp_generic ne sont pas charges non plus.
J'ai essaye aussi de recompiler le noyau avec le support PPP en dur, mais ca ne change rien.
Donc si qqn a une bonne idee, je suis preneur!!
giZmo
P.S: Au fait, le protocole utilise est PPPoA
Merci d'avance |

It's been quite some time since my highschool french classes. But, I think I would focus on this error first | Code: | | Can't load the microcode!! |
.
In /etc/conf.d/speedtouch, you should have a line that sets the microcode path. For example, in mine, I have the following
| Code: | MICROCODE="/usr/local/lib/speedtouch/firmware.bin"
|
Then you need to make sure that firmware is actually in that location.
| Code: | ls -al /usr/local/lib/speedtouch/
total 668
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 13 20:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 13 20:51 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 671653 Jun 18 2004 firmware.bin
|
After you have that working, then I would tackle your PPP config.
Bonne chance!

hi there,
Well, i'm sorry about my first message; further ones will be in english!!
About my microcode, well, my path is all right (i've already checked it), even in the speedtouch script.
How can i tackle my PPP config.
Thanks a lot

Are you still getting the error about the microcode? What if you change VERBOSE="2" in /etc/conf.d/speedtouch and try to start? See if it gives you more information.

hi,
the error about the microcode still remains and the verbose level doesn't give me more information.
But i think that the error comes rather from the fact that linux is unable to load the module ppp_generic. As a result, the depending modules aren't loaded ether.
I tried to recompile with ppp support integrated in the kernel, but nothing to do. |

Maybe, but not necessarily. Syslog might have more information, so pressing ctrl+alt+F12 after the micrcode (alt+F7 to get back), or tail /var/log/messages might show you something (of course, these might be different on your system, but you'll almost certainly already know that if they are)

Have you tried taking lock out of /etc/ppp/peers/adsl? I don't know what it does, but it seems to be causing you a problem

thanks for your help djm.
If i remove the "lock" option, it will give me the same error but in the 0.35. I do not think that the problem is in that file, probably some service (speedtouch) is trying to do the same thing twice. Sincerely i have no idea of what's going on. |

Have a look at:
http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/
Hopefully this will set things up automatically for you, or if not it might give some more insight into why things aren't working

|
|
I have just purchased the Speedtouch USB 330 revision 4 (silver) modem, and have finally got it working in kernel 2.6.10.
What I have noticed is that the speedtouch version 1.3.1 does not work for me, but the 1.3 does.
I have managed to get it working with the command:
modem_run -v 2 -s -k -r 4 -f /etc/speedtouch/ZZZL_3.012 |

Better to use the kernel driver firmware loading function instead of modem run, faster boot time and more reliable, you can find more info on my site.

Hiya,
Has anyone managed to find a way to automatically start pppd after the firmware hotplug has finished? (using the new method in the above post) It is just a pain having to login as root to start the pppd from the command line everytime you start the computer, especially when the old way did have an automatic way of starting pppd.
Thanks in advance. |

What about editing the /etc/init.d/speedtouch script to just start PPPD? That's what I was going to do, but I can't reboot my ADSL gateway until tonight or tomorrow, so I haven't tested it. But, here's what I was going to put in the speedtouch initscript.

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-dialup/speedtouch/files/speedtouch.rc7,v 1.2 2004/09/28 01:23:20 swegener Exp $
depend() {
need localmount modules
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting Speedtouch ADSL Modem..."
einfo "Speedtouch firmware loaded via Hotplug now"
eend 0
if [ ! -f "/etc/ppp/peers/$PEER" ]; then
eend 1 "Failed to find peer configuration"
return 1
fi
einfo "Launching the PPP daemon..."
rm -f /var/run/pppoa*.pid
start-stop-daemon --start \
--exec /usr/sbin/pppd call $PEER &>/dev/null
eend $? "Failed to start the PPP daemon"
}
stop() {
ebegin "Shutting down the SpeedTouch ADSL Modem..."
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/ppp0.pid pppd
eend $? "Failed to stop 'pppd'."
} |
