Modem speed touch and Mandriva 2006
 

Thanks to help me to configure Speed Touch to work on Mandriva 2006.
I tried a lot of advices on internet but the result was 0.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...searchid=71669 are the results from searching for "speedtouch" on LQ. What model do you have, what have you tried, what has been the result?

And I have moved this to Linux-Hardware.

Welcome to LQ :D

I have a silver model speed touch. I tried to copy mgmt.o from floppy but system refused that. it seems that the system don't recognize the floppy even if Ican open the floppy and fields in. When install fail Mandriva ask to copy mgmt*.o into /usr/share/speedtouch but I it was impossible even if I'm root.
I tried an other way and I succeeded to split config field into lib directory but I did'nt copy it to hotplug because system refuse it.

I have the same problem! I cant configure my speedtouch 330 to run on linux i've tried tons and tons of ways to get it to work.. but the result was still zero.
Does anybody know a way at which i just all i have to do is setup a software that do everything? or do i have to compile and do things i will never be able to do yet as i am a total linux nube??? speedtouch 330 the silver one, im not sure if it is the same virsion of hardware you ment.. but i i have the feeling that it is.
please someone help with this? i have tried the speedtouch website but i couldnt find the driver for linux.. i found the firmware.. and i could put the mgmt.o into /usr/share/speedtouch as it asked me to do so.. .. but then when i click on 'test the connection' it says that the system cant connect to the internet!! then i went crazy....!!!!!!!!!!! any body give suggestions please... thanks

Hi, I have the same problem, I have had the speedTouch 330 working on Suse and Mandriva 2005. but I am having problems with 2006, but I think its just my lack of understanding linux commands as I am very new to this. Try this link and if you succeed let me know, http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/mandrake/ It can work so keep at it. Adrian here's another couple of links that might help? http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/adsl/index.html

If anyone is still having a problem with this, I have successfully got my 330 thomson speedtouch working with Mandriva 2006 (with a tiscali account in the uk). I followed Steve Parkers instructions and ran his script. http://steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/

I first tried installing through the control centre and messing about with mgmt.so file etc, but it did not work .

I have a black modem that is a v4 and used the zip files on the link.

good of you to post this, I also got it working with Mandriva 2006 although I used the speedtouch site firmware, I am stuck though trying to get it to work with Alinux if you have a spare hour see this link http://www.flightsimhq.org/peanut/ph...?p=11931#11931
on the Alinux forum. Adrian

also have the revision 4 modem brownish colour
