HOWTO: Speedtouch USB ADSL Modem

[darrell]

Since Hoary is running on kernel 2.6.10, you do not need the speedtouch package to get these adsl modems to work. All you actually need apart from a Hoary installation cd is some firmware for your modem.

I've now made this specific to the UK, as that's all I can test. In other countries using PPPoA it should work by changing the VPI/VCI numbers. (see below). Otherwise, http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html may be able to help.

The procedure I outlined in my previous posts on configuring speedtouch is broken because the latest firmware .deb contains renamed firmware files, so the hotplug script provided with the speedtouch package can't find them, exits with an error and never gets around to bringing up the connection with the ISP. It would be simple enough to replace the hard-coded firmware file names with the new ones, but why install a package which is not needed? This new method does without the speedtouch package, but includes creating an alternative hotplug setup so that the automatic connection to the ISP still happens after the adsl line comes up.

The HOWTO follows.

In this HOWTO, I assume that you have no working net connection in Ubuntu. For now, you will need a computer that is capable of connecting to the internet, whether this be another computer, or your Ubuntu box booted with some other operating system (maybe you've set it up to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows).

I am working on utilizing the firmware which you should have on your Speedtouch Windows installation cd - I will update the howto once I have demonstrated to myself that this works. You will still need a net connection at some point to read/print these instructions, though!

Step 1: Stuff to download

Get hold of some firmware for your modem. The firmware is the code which needs to be loaded into the modem every time it is plugged in or the computer is switched on. Without the firmware, nothing else will happen.

There is a useful debian package containing the firmware at http://ftp.linux.it/pub/People/md/warez/speedtouch-firmware_0.3012k_all.deb

You might also like to save this HOWTO webpage - then you can copy and paste configuration file stuff later on, rather than type it in from a printed copy of the HOWTO.

I have created a hotplug script called speedtch.txt which is attached to this post. download this.

So, confirm before you leave your net-connected pc, that you have the above firmware package, the hotplug script, and these instructions, on a floppy, or burnt to a cd, or possibly on a Windows partition on your dual-boot Ubuntu box, which you can mount in Ubuntu.

Step 2: Boot into Ubuntu and install the necessary software

You will need to install the package libatm1 - put your Hoary cd in the drive and open a terminal. Then type:
sudo apt-get install libatm1
This should install the package from the Hoary cd
Now insert the floppy/cd containing the firmware downloaded earlier (or mount the relevant partition if you managed to save somewhere on your Ubuntu machine) and type:
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/your/download/speedtouch-firmware_0.3012k_all.deb
This will install the firmware files to your computer.

Step 3: Configure your software

load the pppoatm module, and set up your machine so it is loaded at every boot:
sudo modprobe pppoatm
sudo gedit /etc/modules
in the editor window, add
pppoatm
at the bottom of the list, save and exit.

Create a pppd connection script to control logging on to your ISP:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/ppp/examples/peers-pppoe /etc/ppp/peers/adslscript
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/adslscript

change the line:
# user "myusername@myprovider.net"
to:
user "your-own-isp-username"

remove:
# Load the pppoe plugin. Change the ethernet interface name if needed.
plugin rp-pppoe.so
eth0
and replace with
# These options configure pppd to talk with the kernelspace speedtch driver.
# Don't forget to adapt the VP.VC pair to your ISP/country settings.
# (see http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/faq/index.html#q12)
plugin pppoatm.so
0.38 #UK

Towards the bottom, comment out (ie put a # at the beginning of the line):
noaccomp

and

default-asyncmap
save and exit the editor

Now, set up your isp password:
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
In the editor window, add a line:
your-isp-user-name * your-isp-password *
Save file and close editor
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
In the editor window, add an identical line to that just added to the chap secrets file. Save and close editor. You will only use one of these two files, depending on the authentication method used by your isp, but is doesn't hurt to have both on your system.

Finally, setup the hotplug system to automatically connect when the modem is plugged in and at boot time:
sudo cp /your/path/to/speedtch.txt /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtch
Make this script executable
sudo chmod +x /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtch

Now, enter
tail -f /var/log/messages
plug in your modem and (hopefully) watch it connect. you should see in the messages display, the speedtch module being loaded, the adsl line synchronising, then the pppd process establishing the connection, and your computer being allocated its ip address and dns servers.
use ctrl-c to get out of the scrolling messages display.

You should now be connected to the internet.

Please post any questions/problems with the above, and I will try to help.

Hi, Darrell. First of all thanks for the help. The installation of the speedtouch 330 (frog) on my Ubuntu has been taking my days lately. With your instructions, it went *almost* there!! So I feel there must be a small tweak somewhere to do yet,

I did everything as you say. Then, when I restart the computer and try to use internet, it just stalls there... no error sign (I guess there'd be a timeout sooner or later), no download sign, nothing! I'm from Portugal, so I used 0.35 in the VPI/VCI thing.

There is one slight thing to add (and it may make the difference!): when I installed Ubuntu yesterday, I connected it via ethernet using another (windows) computer, so that the installer could get stuff from outside. I then ran your instructions. I removed the ethernet cable, plugged the modem, restarted, and the rest you already know...

Big thanks in advance

Thanks for the help there pal, when i finally set it all up i felt so good, truly a moment of pure Frisson (http://gamufi.com)

Hi Camara

Do you get an IP address assigned from your ISP? - to check, from a command line:

ifconfig

you should get something like
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:464076351 (442.5 MiB) TX bytes:44431357 (42.3 MiB)

I've highlighted the important bit in bold. If you've got this (your IP address will of course be different to mine - you just need to have one), it's probably a routing issue, especially since you configured an ethernet connection as your default connection during installation. Type:

route

you should have a default route which points to your adsl modem interface (probably ppp0):

default lo0-plusnet.pte 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

but you've probably got one which points to your ethernet interface (for example eth0). In that case:

sudo route del default
sudo poff adslscript
sudo pon adslscript
route

you should now see a default route pointing to your speedtouch interface.

If this has solved your problem, you need to make sure that your ethernet interface isn't set as the default route the next time you boot. Do this by editing your /etc/network/interfaces file:

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

and comment out the "gateway" instruction in the ethernet section (probably eth0). Also comment out any lines which start with "dns".

Please let me know how you get on.

I should give credit to linux speedtouch pages, referenced in the HOWTO above. All I'm really doing is rehashing the information there.

I think it is strange that it doesn't even start the ppp0. Is there anything missing in my system? The whole process ran smoothly, following every step you described.

Thanks again

[darrell]

OK, all my stuff yesterday about routing was a bit premature - might still need it, though. From your ifconfig output the ppp interface has not been brought up, so lets go back a bit.

do
tail -f /var/log/syslog
unplug and replug the modem. Post the syslog output here.

Can you connect to the 'net from another machine while trying all this on your ubuntu box? if so, we could go sort of interactive here on the forums - let me know when you'd like to do this.

Darrell.

I have a laptop connected to the internet (with that famous modem) in the meantime. This laptopt has been the actual router of my home little net...

[darrell]

sorry camara, I got into a urgent, long, long phone call. Am looking at your log now.

[darrell]

let's try to do things manually.

first of all, move the hotplug script out of the way so it doesn't run:
sudo mv /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtch /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtchxxx
get a second terminal going to monitor the syslog:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
unplug the modem, wait a few seconds until you see in the log that the unplugging has been recognised.
in the first terminal again:
sudo rmmod speedtch
now plug in the modem again and report what the syslog says (it should load the speedtch module, load the firmware, and bring up the adsl line - this could take 30 seconds or so)

[angelwings]

Hi there,

Camara I have the same problem has you, and I think the problem is that your ISP don't use PPPoATM, it uses PPPoE (I live in Portugal too, and my isp is clix), but I can't get my connection to work with the http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html tutorial using the PPPoE method, maybe darrell can help us connecting with the pppoe protocol.

[camara]

Darrel,

I just did as you were saying, and the syslog gives:

Indeed, Angelwings is right!!! Our protocol should be pppoE!... I guess I must install br2684ctl... I just did.

I'll take a look back at that page (I have done it ALL through already several times...). Anyway, I don't want to mess too much so that Darrel can follow my steps.

Best

[camara]

Angelwings: have you tried this one?
http://s1x.homelinux.net/projects/speedtouch_suite
I have... and was also unlucky!... :(:(
all went well until I got an I/O error with some files (I think it were some xml files)

Good luck!

[angelwings]

Finally my internet connection is working!
I had reinstalled ubuntu, then I followed the http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html step by step

and it's working now, i'm so happy

good luck camara, try reinstalling the system again, then follow the tut.

[camara]

I think I found my problem (although I'll go again with all the process...). My connection is RDIS (ISDN), so I guess the driver was wrong...
By the way, did you install Ubuntu without net? I mean, I have installed it using my laptop as a router... I wonder if that's a problema also.

Obrigada!

[angelwings]

yeah, installed without net using the hoary amd64 install cd.

De nada!

[camara]

UP and RUNNING!!!! YEESSSS!
Thanks all!

Next step: now make my desktop become de router of the home net... GLUP

[angelwings]

YAY! grats :P

yeah, I would like to do that too

[pinguimtux]

Hey guys! I'm from Portugal too, and I'm using Sapo ADSL.

I did what it says here http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html 2 ou 3 times already, but no luck. It did work with Suse though. I guess the problem is that the firmware isn't loading, because the LED on the right stays orange instead of green...I guess I'll reinstall the system, but I'm not sure if this will fix the problem...If someone as another way..just let me know!

Fiquem bem!

[pinguimtux]

Ok! I finally have a working internet connection in my Ubuntu system!

:grin:

[genbie]

How do I manually disconnect/connect? This is useful if I want to reconnect after my connection is terminated by the ISP for example. Issuing "pppd call speedtouch" did not work :-(

[vbmaster]

Hey Guys!

Another one from Portugal here.

I'm posting in this thread because in the past I did a lot of search to put my speedtouch modem running in a light Linux Distro that I had. Unfortunatelly I was unsuccessful.

Now, i'm about to put ubuntu on my system and I have already read a lot of tuturials. By your answers I think the best one for me to look in first is this:

http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/index.html

But in a specific step it ask us for our login and ISP password to put in a file (chap-secrets I think), and the problem is that I was wondering if this is a secure method?

Can anyone claryfy me? For the Portugal ones, my ISP is SAPO ADSL.

Thanks a lot. ;) and....sorry my english. :P

[jeffreyvergara.NET]

How do I manually disconnect/connect? This is useful if I want to reconnect after my connection is terminated by the ISP for example. Issuing "pppd call speedtouch" did not work :-(

I also have a problem with this... how can I reconnect after disconnection? is there any way to autoconnect after disconnection. I've just successfuly installed Ubuntu and configured my ADSL so i havn't encountered any disconnections yet.


note: a total linux newbie here

note: a total linux newbie here

Following the naming in the guide, you would call "pppd call adslscript" to reconnect. Alternatively you can just unplug the modem from your computer, wait a couple of seconds, then plug it back in again. The latter assumes you installed the speedtch hotplug script as per the guide. I have found no way to auto-connect on disconnection, but then I haven't tried very hard.

[Gallows]

I'd just like to add that this howto is spectacular - I use PPP over ATM using UK based ISP Pipex. It worked 1st time absolutely no worries!

-Gallows

[jeffreyvergara.NET]

hehehe... I don't need the how to reconnect anymore, i just noticed that the Internet connection reconnects it self. but i noticed that when i resume my pc at suspended mode, the connection has been disconnected, because my gaim IM accounts has been disconnected, and my downloads are in 0kbps.

[Kirin]

I'm (trying) to set up a friend with Ubuntu, the only obstacle being the damn SpeedTouch modem. She – sadly – is inside Kingston Communications' sphere of influence. I found the settings (http://www.help.karoo.net/bbsettings.html) on the KC website. I changed the VP/VC pair to 1.50, but nothing happens after the modem syncs. I suspect it may have something to do with this bit:

Encapulation: RFC2364 PPPoATM (LLC)

Which I think means that it uses LLC encapulation, which – I think – isn't standard in the UK. Am I right? If so, how would I go about setting it to use LLC?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

[gruszczy]

I try to open some website in mozilla, but it can't be done. I used script from this HOWTO and tried typing in pppd call, but none of these work. While using pppd call I can see in the log, that chap-secrets work fine, dns servers are found, but still, I cannot connect with any website (and there are no othere messages in the log). Cany anyone help me?

Thanks for the great howto, i've tried others but none of them would work for me! now I can begin exploring Ubuntu's apt-get feature!!! :D

[Grae]

hopefully someone can help with this!

when i reboot i find it hasn't connected to the net and i have found if I sudo modprobe pppoatm
It can then connect when i call the adslscript, whereas before it wouldn't!

Am i just being impatient or is something up?

Oh I've checked /etc/modules and pppoatm is there, should it be further up the list as opposed to at the end?

[Grae]

Scrap that i was just being impatient!!!

sorry
:oops:

Hello!

I tried to configure my modem, using this HOWTO and linux-usb.org HOWTO, but it didn't work. However, when I look in the log I can see:

Thats is exactly my same problem. Modem seems to sync but no navigation is possible. Tried several alternate methods as the one in http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/ but the same result. I think the problem is not related to firmware as the modem syncs. Maybe Ubuntu is not recognizing the internet connection? I am only a dumb newbee. Please Help.

This is my prob as well, every goes swimmingly, right up till I try to actually see a site.

Anyone know how to make it work yet?

Thanks

Darrell,

Props for an excellent howto - it was a pleasure to go through the steps and find that everything worked as planned on Breezy without a single hitch! :D Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi, I'm a complete new so my knowledge of ubuntu is pretty much zero. I have 5.10 Breezy Badger and a speedtouch 330 usb modem, and I'm experiencing exactly the same kind of problem as gruszczy and others. I've followed through all the steps in Darrels howto, and still no result. Any ideas?

I just wanted to say Thank You. I had referred a lot of other websites and forums explaining on how to connect the speedTouch usb modem in Ubuntu. But this was it... I could get my modem up and running. Now I neednt bother about viruses too... :P

thanks a lot...

Hi all,

Is there any reason why this approach would not work with Dapper Drake 6.06?

I've never used linux before this week, but I'm definitely going to learn more, as long as I can get web access!

I'll be installing Ubuntu 6.06 desktop, dual boot with win xp (for now ;) ) and I have a Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL PPP modem (yea, I know, it was free:roll: )

Any help greatly appreciated,

Udidin.

Hey All.
Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but im having the same problem as described in here, and im in serious need of help. I've been trying to get this modem working for about 2 weeks now, and just today I've got the furthest I've ever gotten with it, but im still having problems.

The line syncs up correctly, but when i try to browse via firefox, it cannot reach any pages.

Here's my syslog that i get when i plug the modem in..

I know it would be easier to just buy a router, but funds don't allow that ATM so this is my only option so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. ):P

[Aliarse]

Anyone?? Really want to use Ubuntu, but until i can get a net connection its practically useless to me, so getting this working would be a +...:-\"

Good luck!http://s1x.homelinux.net/projects/speedtouch_suite Link now dead!
