Sagem modem installed in FC5 but browser can't find inet
As the title says, the Sagem modem is up and apparently running on FC5.
After following the instructions on the website (atm.eagle-usb.org) I have the firmware installed. (FC5 includes support for this modem as standard so no extra work there). At boot I get all (2) modem lights on so I reckon the connection is ok. $ modprobe pppoatm $ pppd call ueagle-atm should connect - but then the fun starts . . . My trusted Opera Browser which worked fine via a dialup and KPPP can't find the internet. $ ifconfig finds that instead of responding "ppp0" and some text I get "lo" local loopback. 1 - I guess that this is the core of the problem so - Any comments guys ? 2 - What commands show the allocation/usage of my 5 USB ports ?

you usd pppd to dialout?
one would normally use the network device control (in system tools) or wvdial from the commandline. have a look at dmesg | grep usb |
more info on status
Thanks Simon,:)
Since I've been following the instructions in UEagleAtm:AtmDoc it says that for a PPPoA setup I should, after configuring ppp via creation of a file called ueagle-atm in /etc/ppp/peers and modifying /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (Just noticed that it references /etc/ppp/pap-secrets too but I haven't touched that at all ?!) do> $ modprobe pppoatm $ pppd call ueagle-atm and then $ ifconfig to check the connection >> result> [root@localhost ~]# ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1115 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1115 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1906808 (1.8 MiB) TX bytes:1906808 (1.8 MiB)-------- for more info>> $ [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep eagle [ueagle-atm] driver ueagle 1.2 loaded usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9031) : Eagle III usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] using iso mode usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] (re)booting started usbcore: registered new driver ueagle-atm usb 3-1: [UEAGLE-ATM] requesting firmware ueagle-atm/DSPep.bin failed with error -2 then last line repeated many times so it appears there is a software problem - but I don't know how to cure it. ------- [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep usb usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub usbcore: registered new driver libusual usbcore: registered new driver hiddev usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9031) : Eagle III usb 3-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] using iso mode usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] (re)booting started usbcore: registered new driver ueagle-atm usb 3-1: [UEAGLE-ATM] requesting firmware ueagle-atm/DSPep.bin failed with error -2 then last line repeated many times ======== Can you translate that for me - what is it telling me ? A file DSPep.bin is in /usr/lib/firmware/ueagle-atm. p.s. Network Device Control has nothing listed and no option to add anything. Mike (sorry for the delays but access time is limited and re-booting to run linux (i'm in windoze now) doesn't help either). |
Code:
usb 3-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9031) : Eagle III ifconfig should be telling you about a new ppp0 connection I think... that it dosn't says that the device is not activated. This is consistent with the firmware not loading. (lo = loopback - is your computer's internal network. 127.0.0.1 is the IP of localhost) Going through the ueagle instructions slowly. Quote:
Code:
grep FIRMWARE_DIR= etc/hotplug/firmware.agent (note: the instructions got the grep search-string wrong.) |
we advance
Simon,
the eagle files were in /usr/lib/firmware/ueagle-atm - I've shifted them to /lib/firmware/ueagle-atm and rerun $ modprobe pppoatm $ pppd call ueagle-atm ======== $ ifconfig ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:88.106.89.197 P-t-P:212.74.111.234 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:64 (64.0 b) TX bytes:94 (94.0 b) ======= looking much better .:) . then got kicked off the computer by "can I use it now dad !" - so I'll test it 2morrow. Thanks Mike |
That looks excellent.
I take it then that: grep FIRMWARE_DIR= /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent ... returned FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware/ ??? |
update and follow on.
Simon, in answer to your question the result was:
[root@localhost ~]# grep FIRMWARE_DIR= etc/hotplug/firmware.agent grep: etc/hotplug/firmware.agent: No such file or directory ====== I also did $ locate .agent and came up with a null result so I just put the file where you suggested - it seems to work for FC5 too. ====== Since the driver and the firmware are now, apparently, working ok I wonder what I have to do to. . . a) find out to which usb port it is mounted (dmesg ¦ grep usb is below) b) find how to use / access the modem ! Opera browser still says no connection present. When I mentioned in a previous posting that I use kppp to connect to my previous modem you said "one would normally use the network device control (in system tools) or wvdial from the commandline". - I hate command lines (always use a gui if I can !) - Network Device Control lists no options and has no "add" button so I assume that either it should pick up the options automatically ? or there is a config file somewhere ? $ dmesg ¦ grep usb gives: [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep usb usbcore: registered new driver usbfs usbcore: registered new driver hub usbcore: registered new driver libusual usbcore: registered new driver hiddev usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb usb4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9032) : Eagle III usb 2-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 usb usb5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] pre-firmware device, uploading firmware usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] loading firmware ueagle-atm/eagleIII.fw usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 usbcore: registered new driver ueagle-atm usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9032) : Eagle III usb 2-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] pre-firmware device, uploading firmware usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] loading firmware ueagle-atm/eagleIII.fw usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] firmware uploaded usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 3 usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] ADSL device founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9031) : Eagle III usb 2-1: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] using iso mode usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] (re)booting started usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] modem operational usb 2-1: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 44e2ea17 From the above, something seems to be happening with both usb4 and usb5 but at the end it confirms modem operational. can U possibly suggest what I should do now. Thanks Mike ===== |

FC5! ahah - did you say earlier? Aside: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=319622 |

(You can test possible devices with: echo "atdt 5551234" > /dev/modem" and see if it dials - or use minicom) You could try configuring ppp0 in the NDC or using the internet configuration wizard to (add new modem) autodetect it. If all else fails, read the manual :) |
USB modem in Fedora 7 - seems ok but no internet
- at boot :
error message - USB1-1 device not accepting address 2 error 71. - then: dmesg¦ grep eagle shows firmware uploaded; ADSL driver founded vid (0X1110) pid (0X9031) Eagle III pots; using iso mode; rebooting; modem started, waiting sync; modem operational. The modem light are both on ; the above text shows its operational BUT the browsers can't access the internet. Any ideas please (no i don't want to buy an ethernet modem when the usb worked fine on fc5) ============= From the previous messages in the thread I have been here before but in the end I used the sagem fast 800 E3 USB modem without any problems until the installation of Fedora 7 ('Fed7'). The driver has been included into the core for this distro and it should have been a simple upgrade from fc5 to Fed7 (yes i skipped fc6). ============= Mike |
More info - re syslog.
So: Why won't the browsers (Konquorer, Firefox, Opera) recognise the internet connection ?
============ looking at /var/syslog CHAP authentication succeeded PPP deflate compression module registered quotes local & remote IP addresses quotes primary and secondary IP addresses then - don't know if this is related ?? create_udp_client: hostname lookup failed - no such process create_tcp_client: hostname lookup failed - no such process Then following killall pppd confirms that connection time was 31.1 minutes and that 6887 bytes were sent & 4707 received ============ Mike:confused: |
There has been a thread about that sagem before...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=314153 ... note, if you compiled the drivers, then you will need to repeat for each new kernel. The sagem is an adsl modem? You are not the only one having trouble with that brand on recent distros. As with your case, you can ping the modem, browse to the admin, but no access to the outside net. Switch off SELinux, your firewall, and IPv6 and see if that helps. But, basically, there is nothing wrong on the linux end. It is possible that the firmware just doesn't work with the kernel. You can get a clearer idea with (modem unplugged) dmesg > before (plug modem in) dmesg > after diff before after Quote:

Netgear: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...t=1291&cat=172 ... from the HCL, the one you mention: http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...ProductID=3826 ... has a mixed reception. It is quite hard to find an ethernet modem that is not compatible with linux, this one seems to be iffy with everything. How do you do it? Interestingly, there are compatible switch/router/modem combos that are cheaper. |
Thanks for your patience !
Actions taken: 1st Verified that firewall and selinux are off - no change. 2nd edited modprobe.conf to blacklist ipv6 - still seems to be on. 3rd created /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_ipv6 - no change 4th rmmod ipv6 - in use , can't remove. 5th added blacklist ipv6 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - no change to browser i/f but rmmod ipv6 now says module is in use by ip6t_REJECT; lsmod ¦ grep ipv6 gives "ipv6 276673 31 ip6t_REJECT. - no change to inet access From here: Decided to follow your advice and go for an ethernet modem or modem / router. . . . Will look at the HCL etc for advice and check sources. Don't need/want wireless so that should be cheaper. Hopefully the next update to this will be posting that all is ok ?? Thanks again Mike |
