modem_run
 

im using SpeedTouch USB modem for my adsl connection
the problem is in order to get online
i have to be root and type these commands

modem_run -m -f /mgmt/mgmt.o

then i have to wait for the USB lights to be green

then i have to

pppd call adsl

i was wondering if there is anyway i can make these commands run at start up when i boot without having to be root, lets say. i can just boot with my user account and not having to type them
or is there a way i can use this commands as user

You could probably place them in your rc.local file to run at boot time..

thanks ill try that
another question though
when load the microcode ( mgmt.o )
the modem light starts blinking
is there a way to set a timer on rc.local
so then the other command can run?

is it possible i can let a user run specific commands
such as modem_run and pppd?
i tried a script file with the command

su -c startadsl

but i get permission denied..
any ideas?

i also ran this as root, and i get permission denied
i dont know whats wrong

Speedtouch ADSL
 

Hi mate,

I got the same speedtouch adsl modem.

I added the line :

/usr/sbin/stusb start&

to my rc.local file, and it works fine.

Put a lock above it also

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

that will sort it.
