Alcatel/Thomson Speedtouch 330 - Cannot load Firmware

soluzar

I know there have been several previous threads on this topic but none of them have solved the problem for me.

I have the appropriate firmware file from my modem's driver CD, and I have attempted to load it with the following command:

Exact same problem here. I have installed gentoo and still can't get it up. Same errors I reckon. Same modem. Did you find a solution?

thanks M

I've got the same modem (Silver Speedtouch 330 v4.00). Using speedtouch-1.2_beta2 (x86 in portage) I get the exact same problem. Using speedtouch-1.3 I don't get this problem. However - it still doesn't bloody work, so that's no good...

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response, just got mine working, was about to post myself!

I'm using speedtouch-1.3 and this is working:

modem_run -k -a ZZZLP1.eni -f ZZZLP2.eni

I couldn't seem to get modem_run -f ZZZL_3.012 to work for whatever reason. It also took me far too long to realise that, having set up /etc/ppp/peers/adsl I also needed to put my pipex username / password combo in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (iirc the howto didn't mention a secrets file, and when somebody did it was pap-secrets... I spent ages chasing the bloody LCP disconnect error... grrrrr...)

Anyway, hope this helps the next person...

Came too late for me. I've swapped my speedtouch for a shiny new 4-port router. I'm not exactly upset about it though. it works a lot better than the modem ever did.

Does anyone knows why sudently this appens? Mine was working really great and besides I does know much about this how does a kernel module stops working, and I did not change nothing from kernel or from firmware? My uptime at the time was simething like 32 days... really strange.

For all of you that are using speedtch from kernel, I think there's an issue with udev or something loading the module.
Try with insmod and should work then.
