IMPORTANT NOTICE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since release 2.6.10, the speedtch kernel driver has a built-in
firmware loader.
IF YOU ARE USING A MODERN KERNEL THEN YOU DO NOT NEED THIS PACKAGE.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/examples/peers-pppoa to /etc/ppp/peers/ and
edit it to set your username and the VP.VC pair. Then add your username
and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, as usual.
If you cannot use PPPoA, please look at the example configurations for
other protocols in /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/examples/ .
Kernel support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This driver requires a kernel >= 2.4.18 with the following options enabled
(some are only needed for specific configurations):
USB support --->
<M> Support for USB (CONFIG_USB)
-- Miscellaneous USB options
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS)
-- USB Host Controller Drivers
<M> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI)
<M> UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT)
<M> OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_OHCI)
Network device support -->
<M> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support (CONFIG_PPP)
<M> PPP support for async serial ports (CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY)
Character devices --->
[*] Non-standard serial port support (CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD)
<M> HDLC line discipline support (CONFIG_N_HDLC)
usbdevfs must be mounted on /proc/bus/usb .
Everything needed is already present in the debian precompiled kernel
packages.
Kernel space driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kernels >= 2.4.22 also have a kernel space driver. Its usage is preferred.
The following options are needed to use it:
USB support --->
--- USB Miscellaneous drivers
<M> Alcatel Speedtouch USB support (CONFIG_USB_SPEEDTOUCH)
Network device support -->
<M> PPP over Ethernet (CONFIG_PPPOE)
<M> PPP over ATM (CONFIG_PPPOATM)
Networking options --->
<M> Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (CONFIG_ATM)
<M> RFC1483/2684 Bridged (CONFIG_ATM_BR2684)
Everything needed is already present in the debian precompiled kernel
packages.
If you use the kernel driver, modem_run must be started with the -k
command line option. The hotplug script automatically does this if the
kernel module has been loaded.
Firmware
~~~~~~~~
modem_run is used to load the modem firmware, which can be downloaded
from Thomson at http://www.speedtouch.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm
or possibly found in a more useful form on other sites.
You should copy the files in /usr/local/lib/speedtouch/, which is where
the hotplug script will look for them.
Different firmware files may be used by editing the hotplug script.
