adsl usb modem problem
 

I'm using slackware9.1 with usb adsl modem. The problem is I can't connect to the internet b'coz slack9.1 cant detect my usb modem. I've try Zyxel 630-11 ADSL USB Modem Linux driver but got a problem when do 'make'. For your information, i'm using 'prolink hurricane 8000' adsl usb modem.

maybe this link is of help?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zyxel630-11

there were a couple of bugs reported, see if they sound like your problem

you will need to be more specific about your 'make' error

thank you for a quick reply :)
i've already refer to that website for any help but they don't mention anything about slackware.
here is the 'make' error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/root/tools/adsl/amedyn/module'
Makefile:37: *** ATM support not turned on in the kernel!. Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/tools/adsl/amedyn/module'
make[2]: *** [_mod_/root/tools/adsl/amedyn/module] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22'
make[1]: *** [normal] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tools/adsl/amedyn/module'
make: *** [AME_MODULE] Error 2

how can i turn on the ATM?
i really don't know how to do this coz i'm still new with slackware.

Ok, well now we have something to go on.
It looks like you are going to need to recompile your kernel
Have you done this before?

I did a little googling for you, and I think you will need the following kernel options:
(some will already be selected)

Code maturity level options
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers

Loadable module support
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Set version information on all module symbols
[*] Kernel module loader

Networking options

<*> Packet socket

<*> Unix domain sockets
[*] TCP/IP networking
[*] Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

[M] RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols

USB support

<*> Support for USB
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem

<M> UHCI

<M> OHCI

Network Device Support

<M > PPP (point-to-point protocol) support

<M> PPP Deflate compression

<M> PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)

<M> PPP over ATM

where <*> is a selected kernel option, and <M> is a module




Do you feel confident enough to have a go at this? I dont really see any other way,
it is not too difficult anyway. The kernel thread started by DaOne at the top of this section should help you.

Hopefully, then your driver will compile. You may also need linux-atm library files installed, this chap
seems to know a lot about it:

I do not have a usb modem myself, so I can't really help too much, or even be sure
that I am on the right track but hopefully someone else can chip in with some more info.
I think you will have to persevere to get this working on slackware, but I am sure it is possible.

Thanx tobyl.

I've recompile my kernel and enable the ATM options.
I've already installed that Zyxel 630-11 ADSL USB Modem Linux driver.
But there's a problem. In the readme of Zyxel 630-11 ADSL USB Modem Linux driver, it's write that ethernet interface will be nas0 but there's no nas0. So when i setting up rp-pppoe in my slackware, i don't know what interface to use. I've checked the /dev/ and /dev/usb/ already, but there's no nas0.

Can anyone give me some ideas about this ?

more googling...

From here:
http://home.regit.org/br2684.html

read the bit 'Setting up an interface' in fact read it all...

I suspect you may need linux-atm-2.4.1.tar.gz which you would need to compile,
but I am not totally sure about this

If you do need it, it is here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=156242

looks like you will need to know VP & VC settings, I think these are specific to your
country and ISP, hopefully you have documentation about this.

I hope I am pointing you in the right direction!
