New speedtouch firmware loading with 2.6.10

[tuppe666]

I used to get a slew of modem_run errors and I noticed that ppl where usind the new firmware loading to get rid of this error.

splitting it into two parts To do that you'll
need a copy of the speedtouch-1.3.1 driver
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/spee ... z?download
untar it and cd into the speedtouch-1.3.1/src folder and then enter

gcc -o firmware firmware.c -DSTANDALONE_EXTRACTER

That will compile a binary called firmware. You can use that to split the
modems firmware into two parts. If (for example) the firmware is called mgmt.o,
copy it into the speedtouch-1.3.1/src folder and then enter

./firmware mgmt.o
mv boot.bin speedtch-1
mv firmware.bin speedtch-2

That will create two files, boot.bin and firmware.bin. Rename boot.bin ->
speedtch-1 and firmware.bin -> speedtch-2. Then you need to copy these two
speedtch files into hotplugs firmware folder. You can find this by reading
/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent

cat /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent | grep FIRMWARE_DIR=

Make sure you enabled hotplug firmware loading in your kernel config
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
and check that hotplug has this line in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap

speedtouch 0x0003 0x06b9 0x4061 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000

well all went fairly swimmingly until I rebooted and then I get error

Code: Select all

inserting usb-atm(and speedtch) unknown symbol in module unknow parameter

I check dmesg and it gives me the very interesting

Code: Select all

no stage1 firware found

I cried went back to typing

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/modem_run -k -f firmware.bin
/usr/sbin/pppd call speedtch

sucks

also I have various demons/scrips all over the place /etc/init.d/speedtch doesn´t seem appropriate anymore

[tuppe666]

Last time I follow instuctions they should read

Code: Select all

mv boot.bin speedtch-1.bin
mv firmware.bin speedtch-2.bin

get some funky coldplug errors although I have to connect with

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/pppd call speedtch

I've lost my nasty speetch errors in my log file.

Have followed the instructions above and have the firmware flashing the speedtouch modem with no problems. The next thing I need to do is get pppd to start after the firmware flash has completed. Is there an event I can use to trigger pppd?

Cannot use the old way, which was adding it after modem_run so am a bit stuck on this issue.

Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

You just need to run, as root

Code: Select all

pppd call xxxx

Where xxxx is your script in /etc/ppp/peers

I had to call my firmware

Code: Select all

speedtch-1.bin   &
speedtch-2.bin

before it would work

[Tyrius]

I can trigger it manually fine, doing

Code: Select all

pppd call adsl

But it would be nice if the computer would do this for me automatically after the firmware part has completed.

Hiya,
To fix the automatic pppd startup please follow this link http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... 8&start=50 and use volumen1 script it works perfectly for me.

Now that I have the misfortune of having to use a Speedtouch 330, I'm going through the pains of setting the bugger up. But alas, I've come to a dead-end.

I've setup firmware loading with hotplug yet I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo usb 1-2: found stage 1 firmware speedtch-1.bin
Jan 21 12:52:30 Interimo usb 1-2: found stage 2 firmware speedtch-2.bin
Jan 21 12:52:32 Interimo usb 1-2: firmware/speedt timed out on ep5out

and again when I run pppd call speedtouch:

Code: Select all

Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo pppd[10016]: Plugin pppoatm.so loaded.
Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo pppd[10016]: PPPoATM plugin_init
Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo pppd[10016]: PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:0.38
Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo pppd[10017]: pppd 2.4.3 started by root, uid 0
Jan 21 12:52:29 Interimo usb 1-2: found stage 1 firmware speedtch-1.bin
Jan 21 12:52:30 Interimo usb 1-2: found stage 2 firmware speedtch-2.bin
Jan 21 12:52:32 Interimo usb 1-2: firmware/speedt timed out on ep5out
Jan 21 12:52:32 Interimo pppd[10017]: connect(0.38): Resource temporarily unavailable
Jan 21 12:52:32 Interimo pppd[10017]: Exit.

The timeout on ep5out seems to be the culprit, though there seems to be no sulution yet for this according the thread on the lkml.

Perhaps someone has a new solution?

OK, I've managed to get past the firmware loading by using zzzl_3.012 for the speedtouch-1.bin and zzzlp2.eni for speedtouch-2.bin. I think this is only required for the silver 330.

My new error is:

Code: Select all

Jan 21 14:56:40 Interimo pppd[9856]: Using interface ppp0
Jan 21 14:56:40 Interimo pppd[9856]: Connect: ppp0 <--> 0.38
Jan 21 14:57:10 Interimo pppd[9856]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jan 21 14:57:10 Interimo pppd[9856]: Connection terminated.
Jan 21 14:57:10 Interimo pppd[9856]: connect(0.38): Address already in use
Jan 21 14:57:10 Interimo pppd[9856]: Exit.

There are plenty of hits on google so i'll take a look at those later...

EDIT: I'd renamed pap-secrets to chasp-secrets by accident, so now everything is working!

[Qubax]

this is everything that i needed to get speedtouch running:
never had problems afterwards

http://wojia.be/
and an similar version without the need of the speedtouch-package:
http://havens.de/cgi-bin/wiki/HowtoSpeedtouch

maybe i'm going to go more into detail in the last wiki about ppp+atm etc

I have my Speedtouch 330 working fine using the methods described. The only thing is, which is the best way to get everything started automatically at boot time.

I tried using cold plug but it doesn't seem to work. I still have to un-plug the speedtouch and plug it back in again before it will work. How did everyone else fix this?
