I wonder if you can help...

I currently own a BT Voyager USB adsl modem and recently acquired Linux Mandrake 9.1.

After downloading the 'eciadsl' driver from eciadsl.flashtux.org/index.php?lang=en and following the 'Beginners Tutorial' i seem to have hit a stumbling block...

I have followed all the instructions yet when i reach and complete stage four, i type '/usr/local/bin/startmodem|teelog.txt' as instructed. This goes fine until stage 4 of 5. The result is as follows:

-------------------------------->

[root@localhost root]# rpm -i eciadsl-usermode*
package eciadsl-usermode-0.7-1 is already installed
[root@localhost root]# eciconf.sh
[root@localhost root]# /usr/local/bin/startmodem|tee log.txt

<--------------------------------

Any suggestions on what i should do?

Hope you can help

From EciADSL FAQ:

Question 2.0 : startmodem, eciconf or eci-doctor's output shows:
/proc/bus/usb: No such file or directory


Answer : Check your system's USB configuration. This may be due to a lack of support
for usbdevfs in your kernel configuration. If kernel has support for it, try
to mount it using:
> mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb
This can be set in your /etc/fstab. To get his automounted at boot time,
add this line:
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

Nota: there will be nothing in /proc/bus/usb until a host controller module
is also loaded.
