 Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 2:31 pm Post subject: Speedtouch & Gentoo Sources 2.4.25 - [RESOLVED] |
 |
|
I have tried to upgrade my kernel from Gentoo Sources 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 to 2.4.25 but my speedtouch usb alcatel modem stops working. I tried re-emerging hotplug and speedtouch but to no avail. Booting back onto the old kernel still works.
When I do lsmod on the 2.4.25 kernel I get this:
| Code: | # lsmod

Yet on my old 2.4.20 kernel I got:

The difference I notice are that there is a new module speedtch and atm[/] and that the module [i]n_hdlc has disappeared.
Does anyone know what is going on here? AFAIK, the speedtch.o module is for the kernel driver rather than the userland driver that I have been using by emergeing speedtouch. I tried rmmod'ing it but could still not sync my adsl modem. Also, according to the documentation the n_hdlc module is required by where did it disappear to? Can I get that back?
Help appreciated.

I'm not sure but you can give this a try:
In my 2.6.2 kernel i to modules n_hdlc is to be enabled in Device drivers->Character devices->Non standard serial port->HDLC line discipline
In the 2.4 this should be in Charater devices. |

Thanks for your help 50cc but it didn't fix the problem. Although I do now have the n_hdlc module back.
These are the errors that I get in the log file:

It seems that something else is interferring and consequently modem_run failes to upload the mircocode to the modem and synchronise.
Any other clues? |

I've seen that before on a Suse 9.0 machine, the problem is i never got the speedtouch working on that machine.
What i did was unload the speedtouch module and re-ran modem_run.
Hope this helps. |

Ok, got it working now.
I had to disable the Speedtouch modem from the USB section of the kernel configuration. I don't think the kernel version of the speedtouch driver was switched on by default before and genkernel must have enabled it. I also had to add back in the n_hdlc as mentioned earlier. It now runs smoothly again everytime.
I have been using the userland speedtouch driver for years actually and it has always been fine. This was the first time I had a problem with it not synchronising.
Thanks for your help. |
