Hi guys, after an afternoon of struggle I got my damn Alcatel USB ADSL modem working...
Here's a very brief HOW-TO:
1. apt-get install speedtouch in the testing packages
2. in /etc/modules.conf you must add a line:
| Quote | | alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc |
3. in /etc/modules there must be:
| Quote | ppp_generic
ppp_synctty
n_hdlc
usbcore
usb-uhci (or usb-ohci, it depends on your USB controller...) |
4. in /etc/ppp/options
| Quote | noauth
usepeerdns
lock
noipdefault
|
5. in /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
| Quote | debug
kdebug 1
noipdefault
defaultroute
pty "/usr/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi VPINUM -vci VCINUM" where VPINUM and VCINUM change in the different countries. For Italy theya re 8 and 35
sync
user YOURUSERNAMEHERE
noauth
noaccomp
nopcomp
noccp
novj
holdoff 4
persist
maxfail 25
usepeerdns |
6. in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
| Quote | | YOURLOGIN * YOURPASSWORD |
7. after that, you must start the modem with:
[QUOTE]modem_run -m -f yourmodemfirmwarelocation[CODE]
You can find this file on alcatel'official site or if you have windows installed in your programs/alcatel/driver folder
8. After about 20 secs, you can type pppd call adsl. Check if everything is ok and you're online with ifconfig ppp0. If not, check the /var/log/ folder for the log file with the errors.
Hope it helps
