setup USB Alcatel Speedtouch Modem with Red Hat Linux 9
:( Hi I am a linux newbie. I just installed Red Hat Linux 9 and I need to know how to setup my USB Alcatel Speedtouch Modem.
I followed the intsructions from the following website and no luck. http://www.webconexion.net/speedtouch/index.php Can someone Help me Please? :Pengy: |
Did you get any errors during install?
Checked all the configuration files? Did you get any errors on boot (see /var/log/messages)? Does "lsmod" show the module loaded? Any other USB errors? |
it worked
apparently the instructions for the website were INCORRECT.
It says to use the lsmod command to set the value for DEFAULT_USBINTERFACE for the file called /etc/speedtouch.conf The output from the command for the line that says usbcore 79040 1 [hid usb-uhci] before i installed the drivers it said [hid] instead of what was above the brakets. So I just used the values from the instructions and I now I can connect! :) |

hello
i talked to a friend meanwhile and he meant, that the message from the "usbdevfs" may not be an error... ?? He also said that the missing module (only bsd_comp.c file on a RH9 system, no .o) is not importatan and according to an Austrian HOWTO it may be important to set the "nobsdcomp" optiion in /etc/ppp/options. also there may be a few other austrian-specific options aside from the VIC-thing (yes i'm from austria :-). I'll check that. But what confuses me ist, that the mgmt.o won't load automatically (lsmod | grep mgmt). i thought this ist the modem driver... ciao, nico. |
its running!!!
Hello!
I got it running!!!!! for AUSTRIA u need special optins! my /etc/ppp/options looks like this: ------------------------------------------------- lock defaultroute noipdefault nobsdcomp nodeflate lcp-echo-interval 2 lcp-echo-failure 7 name 6198754001 noauth passive asyncmap 0 ------------------------------------------------- also u have to be carefull when editing /etc/resolv.conf: in the HOWTO it is said to tyoe in the DNS Server with " but u must not type in the IP adress with " -- u have to type it in without the " at the start and the end of the IP adress!!! otherwise the DNS lookup won't work: u can only surf by inputing naked IP adresses in your Browser best wishes!! |
