Alcatel USB speedtouch adsl modem
Hi all, I'm having a complete nightmare with this modem, I have grabbed the drivers from sourceforge, (both CVS and stable) followed the FAQ and built a 2.4.18 kernel with all the required option and still can't get the thing to work! I have visited the #speedtouch irc channel and found no-one willing to help and I'm getting to the stage of considering installing windows over all of the linux boxen around here! Anyhow the main problem stems from trying to run modem_run -v 2 -m -f mgmt.o (also tried with the -s option) and i can't get it to upload the firmware. The only real clue is in dmesg where i get these lines :- usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x5 len 991 ret -110 also with earlier version of modem_run (stable from sourceforge) I get this kind of output on the command line :- bagpuss:/usr/src/speedtouch-1_0# /usr/local/bin/modem_run -v 2 -m -f /usr/local/bin/mgmt.o -s Gotcha, I found your ADSL ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB modem! best offset 6463 with probability 87% best offset 532634 with probability 100% BLOCK1: Connection timed out Uploading /usr/local/bin/mgmt.o failed!

Hi all,
I'm having a complete nightmare with this modem, I have grabbed the drivers from sourceforge, (both CVS and stable) followed the FAQ and built a 2.4.18 kernel with all the required option and still can't get the thing to work!
I have visited the #speedtouch irc channel and found no-one willing to help and I'm getting to the stage of considering installing windows over all of the linux boxen around here!
Anyhow the main problem stems from trying to run modem_run -v 2 -m -f mgmt.o (also tried with the -s option) and i can't get it to upload the firmware. The only real clue is in dmesg where i get these lines :-
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 2 ep 0x5 len 991 ret -110
also with earlier version of modem_run (stable from sourceforge) I get this kind of output on the command line :-
bagpuss:/usr/src/speedtouch-1_0# /usr/local/bin/modem_run -v 2 -m -f /usr/local/bin/mgmt.o -s Gotcha, I found your ADSL ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB modem! best offset 6463 with probability 87% best offset 532634 with probability 100% BLOCK1: Connection timed out Uploading /usr/local/bin/mgmt.o failed! Continuing anyway ... Reference : 3EC 18607GAAB 02(see under your modem box) modem_start_synchro:00 00 .. === modem state at Thu Mar 21 09:52:03 2002 === c0 12 0007 : 08 . c0 12 000b : 00 00 40 02 00 00 20 01 ..@... . c0 12 000d : 00 00 00 00 .... c0 01 000e : 00 . c0 01 000f : 00 . ADSL line is blocked?
Does anybody have any ideas?
my box is a celeron 433, using a uhci USB chipset erm no other real pertinent details, kernel 2.4.18 and Debian testing.
Aparantly there are two separate driver projects for this modem links can be found at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html. However I expect you already know that so I'll shut up. :-) -- Cheers, BJ

Be aware that when it succeeds, you may still see some of these, but hopefully not the "uploading failed" error.

Do you know if it is? ;-)

Have you tried the other HCI drivers? They seem to be a black art still, as far as I can tell. -- MJR ,---------------------------------------------------- | Q.

The best I have got is 50% reply to pings from the ppp partner now, but no outside connectivity. What I may need is different firmware though, there appears to be at least 6 versions of which i have 2.

Nope, windows likes it, so i am currently running a proxy for http so I can at least grab stuff slightly faster than usual.

AFAICS the ohci drivers should not work but i may give it a go in a while, just we need the line up by this evening... so I may have to resort to windows and proxy...

Hardware timeouts smell like irq/ioaddr problems. This might be a solution: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=%5Blinux-usb-devel%5D+pro... (I must get cut and paste working at the console) Do other USB devices work?
