hi,
I've tried to make my speedtouch 330 usb modem to work on slackware 11.The firmware loads fine but i need libatb in order to make it work.When i compile it stops at "make" step here's console output:

I have successfully connected with a speedtouch 330 and slack 11 using steve parkers speedtouchconf script

which can be found here -> http://www.steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/

I have been using this script for years and can verify that it works

If you have any problems post here, I am happy to help

regards

karlos

well i've tried steve's script but it's not working, i've installed kernells modules 2.6.17.13,
headers and source but libatb still doesn't compile.Speedtouchconf sais it's all ok , my adsl LED is bliking for 60 sec and then sais "dont seem to have connected". I've noticed that speedtouchconf uses modem_run , and modem_run is used with 2.4 kernels.
What todo?? reinstall slack with 2.4.33 or keep trying.
ps: vci vpi username and passw were corect and my modem is rev4( i've used rev4fw.zip firmaware).

I also have an alcatel 330 usb modem (with pppoe) and got it working with this guide.

Although it is for lfs it works too on slackware (the last script add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local instead of /etc/rc.d/init.d/dial)

EDIT:The section on PPP-2.4.4 can be skipped, 11 has that version.

hy
When i install slackware 11.0,whit old kernel work it the modem but when i reinstall slackware and upgrade the kernel (all... module,header,source) the modem doesnt work,i can install the driver but when i start the modem(speedtouch -start) i get: Starting ADSL connection...
and than exit....
like cannot identify usb port or something!?
some solution?
thanx

binary_digit · 01-10-2007, 08:00 AM

Hyakutake's guide work's fine. When I installed the new kernel 2.6.17.13 I think i installed a new compiler gcc 3.4 so that's why my lib-atm didn't compile.Follow those steps and don't forget to aply the patch for new compilers: http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html
ps: you don't need to recompile the kernel with new features to suport your modem , just activate the required modules from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.17.13

how can activate the module for my modem?

binary_digit · 01-14-2007, 09:03 AM

you can activate a module by editing the file "/etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.17.13"
The file format is something like this

Code:

## This module provides compression for PPP (optional):
#/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate

you must delete 2nd line's "#" character and the ppp compresion will load:

Code:

## This module provides compression for PPP (optional):
/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate

search these modules and activate them:

Code:

## Load PPP:
# This module is for PPP support:
/sbin/modprobe ppp_generic
# This PPP plugin supports PPP over serial lines:
/sbin/modprobe ppp_async
# Use this plugin instead for HDLC (used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1)
#/sbin/modprobe ppp_synctty

## This module provides compression for PPP (optional):
/sbin/modprobe ppp_deflate

......
# USB modem support:
/sbin/modprobe cdc-acm

save your changes and reboot.

I make like you say but dont work.i have install speedtouch-1.3.1 but doesnt start...when tape speedtouch -start i get: Starting ADSL connection...
and than exit
any sugestion?
@binary_digit what have install?.. this driver .... or http://www.steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/

binary_digit · 01-16-2007, 07:09 AM

I've tried steve parker's script, and it didn't work for me.I tried to install the modem with a "driver" but that driver required a network modem not an usb modem, so yo need a tool called br2684 to simulate a network and then run the driver.
So if you want something certain , get read of steve's script and the driver, so use NONE of them. just follow the howto from here:
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html
There you'll find what you need to download.PPP-2.4.4 is already installed by slackware so you need br2684-ctl and libatm.
So, once again , delete any driver, scripts and follow the steps from here:
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/LFS/index.html

@binary_digit
cannot install linux-atm-2.4.1....get error.on this site i found a patch but how it run???
i search linux-atm pachage but cannot find only rpm.

binary_digit · 01-19-2007, 09:06 AM

You take the patch from here:http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/....1-gcc-4.patch
If your browser opens it like a text file , click File->Save Page As , and you save under this name linux-atm-2.4.1-gcc-4.patch in your lib-atm-2.4.1 folder, then you recompile it with the commands from that howto from the yellow table. If you still have problems please read lib-atm's README file.
I didn't find either lib-atm as a tgz pakage, but if your compilation fails you can try converting an rpm pakage, that is platform independent, into an tgz pakage with "rpm2tgz".Type in console "rpm2tgz pakage.rpm", and this tool will create a new file pakage.tgz.Then you may try installing it with installpkg.No warranty.
