Hi All,
I'm trying to get a green stingray Alcatel speedtouch ADSL modem set
up on my Debian Sarge box (kernel: 2.4.24, packages latest from
testing) and have following the instructions in the Debian Sarge HOWTO (
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/Spe...argehowto.html).
I had no problems with the instructions and when I look in my
/var/log/messages there appear to be successful loads of the speedtch
driver. Also I _think_ that hotplug is working as things like my USB
keydrive work fine when plugged in at any point.
However, when I plug in the speedtouch modem, I get the following:
# hub.c : new USB device 00:07:2-1 assigned address 2
After that nothing happens (according to the plugin firmware loading
script in the HOWTO, I'd at least expect some messages printed to the
screen if it were loading the firmware).
If I try to initiate the connection myself, I get the following:
#pon speedtch
Plugin ppoatm.so loaded
PPPoATM plugin_init
PPPoATM setdevname - remove unwanted options
PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS: 0.38
connect(0.38): Resource temporarily unavailable
I'm assuming this means that either the firmware isn't being loaded or
(more likely) the script to load the firmware (from the HOWTO) isn't
actually executed.
Can anyone help me diagnose further/fix this please?
Thanks
PJ
Little more background:
I originally installed Debian stable (Woody) using a minimal boot CD
and then apting everything else in via the connection that a WinXP is
making using the Speedtouch modem. I'm trying to set up a home network
running off the Deb box. When I read the documentation and realised a
newer kernel was used, I upgraded the kernel (via source build) to
2.4.24 and then changed the source list to use the testing distro. I
am new to this Linux game, so please let me know if I'm not giving
enough info and if you can suggest commands when instructing to do
stuff then it will save me loads of time, so I'll be well appreciative
:-)
