The Alcatel Frog + Drake 9.0
Can ANYONE PLEASE, help me with this.. im literally desperate....
I have installed drake 9. Cool, it supports my modem, oh, but it needs mgmt.o - fine, i need to download that and just copy it into /usr/share/speedtouch. done that. the modem lights a lifeless. I try the drakconnect, whatever it may be called, it can detect my network card, and thats it, it still cant detect / use / anything my modem... grr. Ive downloaded countless files / patchs / drivers, christ knows what they do, I dont. They come with makefiles, binarys, readmes, jeeze. Can anybody give me a step by step, eg copy this here, delete that, plug this in, in order to get this bastard modem to work ? many thanks, ive tried tutorials, this is my last resort... !! |
Everything you need to know:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/v...n.html?rev=1.3 |
yah, ive gone through that and got to the end of the tutorial, typing in : ifconfig ppp0
well, what should I do after ive done that ? hard drake doesnt seem to list my modem... the lights on my modem are still off. |
If you do everything in that howto to the letter, it'll work.
I know 'cause I tried a lot distro's with my alcatel ADSL modem and everytime it was a success. Fact that your lights are still off, might indicate that the firmare isn't uploaded to the speedtouch. try modem_run -f <path/to/mgmt.o> -m the lights should switch on then. |
believe me, ive done that 100 times already.. still no joy.
did you use mgmt.o or alcaudsl.sys ? |
after rebooting...
the red usb light on my modem flashs. I've lost a usb root hub within drake hardware manager, thing. ( ohci ) I cant do modem_run, as it need to talk to the modem via the hub, is there any way I get it back ? :D |
i had a lot of problems too.
The cvs link you were pointed to saved my life. It does work just persevere and check your logfiles for errors. Did you setup pap-secrets?? or the ppp config files??? email me on aiw2@staffs.ac.uk if you still have probs will send you my config files. I dont check here often enough to revieve many replies. btw mgmt.o worked for me not the sys file |
