Speedtouch 330 silver and 9.2 one more time

Syringe · 03-21-2005, 01:51 PM

I've already read all the topics on speedtouch in these forums, and numerous howto's and etc...

All of this is driving me crazy. I've spent a whole week trying to make it work. I just wanna give up on everything.

Ok so I'm on Suse 9.2 and I have speedtouch 330 silver. I did so many combinations and configuring that I think I'll simply reinstall the whole system.

Now for those who managed to make it work, please explain it to me, step by step. Wheter you used speedtouchconf or drivers. I need your personal experience with this one. Since some are saying use this, use that. I know rev4 is the one to use but I'm not sure in anything anymore.

Please you're my last hope.

Well I'll let you know that the rev4 modem/silver Speedtouch330 works, with Mandrake 10.0 and 10.1 and I've had it working for my pc and the family one for months now. I forget exactly how I set it up but as I'll be messing with a new pc in the next few weeks of this holiday I'm sure I'll go over it all again. I know I've not used the speedtouchscript but instead a Mandrake .rpm package. My last relevent post on the subject seems to be here.
Your best bet is to get at least the modem_run to execute with the -v 2 very verbose mode so you can see where things are going wrong.

@proud - well the problem is that I have to jump on win in order to post

The problem with speedtouchconf is error 250 from modem_run:

Quote:

If you've run the script twice in a row, this is normal. The firmware can only be loaded once (without powering down the modem, either by rebooting, or disconnecting the modem and re-connecting it). The script only needs to be run once (assuming it is succesful).

...right

Quote:

If you do run the script twice, check /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (and pap-secrets) for duplicate entries - these should not matter, unless you entered an incorrect login/password at any point. The bundled undo.sh script will clean things up to the same state as before you ran the speedtouchconf.sh script.

I never ran it twice, unless it runs itself or something...I've checked for duplicate entries, my login/pass info is correct. Ran undo.sh dozens of time to clean up, I guess it didnt work out or something.

With the "ordinary" speedtouch drivers I get some error regarding microcode or something. I think I could get it working with speedtouchconf, but I just have to find the "missing link" in all this, I feel like I'm really close but still so far...

Ok, firstly boot your machine into linux without the modem connected.
Open a terminal, log in as root, and run
tail -f -n 30 /var/log/messages
Plug in the usb modem and copy what gets displayed.
You can use Ctrl+C to stop the log tailing.

Then lemmie know the result of running
modem_run -m -v 2 -f /path/to/microcode/mgmt.o
