Speedtouch USB Modem working :)

Post by Cpasjuste »

Requierement :

Gentoox with last Magic Update
http://burnos-team.cineteck-fr.com/down ... 03.tar.bz2

Recompile the kernel with the n_hdlc module :

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig

Go to the Character devices Tab and check those lines (Unix98 PTY support should be already checked)

Character devices --->

[*]-Non-standard serial port support
| |
| |-[M]-HDLC line discipline support
|
[*] Unix98 PTY support

Escape and accept saving change.

type :

make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /mnt/fatx/f/


Edit /etc/modules.conf and be sure to have this line :

alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate

# reboot

Now reboot and replace the vmlinz in E:\ by the new created kernel (named bzImage for now, rename it to vmlinuz and replace)

Start Gentoox, go where u have speedtouchconf-14.04.2003.tar.bz2 :

# tar zxvf speedtouchconf-14.04.2003.tar.bz2
# cd speedtouchconf-14.04.2003
# sh speedtouchconf.sh

and follow the instructions.

If u need to reboot or lunch manually the connection :

# /usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -f /home/mgmt.o
# pppd call adsl

Good job and enjoy :D
