Zoom 5510A ADSL USB Modem Install
(This is for the slim dark grey one issued in the UK by alot of providers. 5510-72 Mine says.
May work with other Connexant Chip Modems, just compile and run cxacru-fw and put extracted file in the cxacru folder).
This was done on a Fresh Install of Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy".
Okay to start
On an Internet Enabled OS or Machine
Get the following files from the internet.
Change the i386 part of the name if you are running amd64, sparc or powerpc.
gcc-3.4-base, cpp-3.4 and gcc-3.4

CXACRU Extraction Utility
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/malacandra/cxacru.zip
I can't remember where I got this one from so I have put a copy here.
This is the one with a pre-extracted Zoom 5510 firmware file.
I also installed this one but I don't know if It is needed.

Put them in a folder called "adslusb"(without the quotes) in the root of your machine.
Also save this page to that folder as a ".complete" file
If you are not dual booting you will have to burn the folder onto a CD-R.
If you are dual booting with (I assume) Windows, when Back in Ubuntu mount your Windows Drive using "mount" in the root Terminal(described later).
Back in Ubuntu
Login as normal user.
I found this made life easier, saving having to type sudo all the time.
Run nautilus as root and gnome-terminal as root.
Choose [Applications->System Tools->Run as different user], type "gnome-terminal"(without the quotes) in the box.
Enter Password.
Choose [Applications->System Tools->Run as different user], type "nautilus"(without the quotes) in the box.
DO NOT CLOSE THESE UNTIL THE END.
------ Dual-Boot Hard Disk Section, if folder is on a CD-R miss this section out -----
In Nautilus
Go to Filesystem:/mnt/, right-click on space, choose "Create Folder" and call it "win".
In Terminal
If Windows drive is C: then this should be sufficient:
Code:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
----- End Section -----
In Nautilus
Go to FileSystem:/mnt/win/ or to the CD.
Right-click the folder "adslusb" and choose copy.
Go to Filesystem:/usr/src/, right-click on space, choose "Paste".
Choose "Bookmarks" in the top menu and "Add to Bookmarks", (This will aid with navigation later).
Open Synaptic (...)
Click [Search] and type "build-essential" (without quotes), change Search In to "Name".
Mark build-essential for installation. It will ask you if it is okay to mark other packages for installation.
Click [Mark] to this.
[Apply] and Exit Synaptic.
In Terminal
You can install the packages using dpkg command.
Type the following in this order.
Code:
cd /usr/src/adslusb
dpkg -i gcc-3.4-base_3.4.4-6ubuntu8_i386.deb
dpkg -i cpp-3.4_3.4.4-6ubuntu8_i386.deb
dpkg -i gcc-3.4_3.4.4-6ubuntu8_i386.deb
dpkg -i kernel-package_9.001ubuntu5_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.12-9.23_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.12_2.6.12-9.23_i386.deb
dpkg -i linux-tree-2.6.12_2.6.12-9.23_all.deb
dpkg -i libncurses5_5.5-1ubuntu3_i386.deb
dpkg -i libncurses5-dev_5.5-1ubuntu3_i386.deb
dpkg -i xdslusb_0.0.20031029-5_i386.deb
cd /usr/src
tar --bzip2 -xvf linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12 /usr/src/linux
If this last line throws error "File Already Exists".
Type : And re-enter the last line.
In Nautilus
Go to Filesystem: /usr/src/adslusb folder.
Open usbatm-20050216.tar.bz2 by double-clicking on it.
Extract "drivers" folder to Filesystem: /usr/src/linux .
(Using [Extract] choose "Other" in "Extract in Folder" pulldown
Browse to Filesystem:/usr/src/linux, Click [Open] then [Extract])
Open cxacru_bundle-2004-05-11.tar.bz2
Extract "cxacru" folder to Filesystem: /usr/src (same process as above).
Open cxacru-fw.zip
Extract "cxacru-fw" folder to Filesystem: /usr/src (same process as above).
In Terminal
Code:
cd /usr/src/cxacru-fw
cp /usr/src/cxacru-fw/cxacru-fw.bin /lib/hotplug/firmware/cxacru-fw.bin
cd /usr/src/cxacru/scripts
make install
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
At this prompt:
Conexant AccessRunner USB support (USB_CXACRU) [N/m/?] (NEW)
Press [ M ] key then [Enter].
This can get complicated but you need to choose your processor here.
Go to Processor type and features ---> using the arrow keys.
Hit [Enter].
Choose Processor family --->.
For my system High memory support was not needed as I don't have more than 4GB.
I turned it off by scrolling down and choosing the option.
Then keep selecting Exit option using tab key until it is highlighted and then say yes to the save prompt.
In Terminal
Code:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-adslusb kernel_image kernel_headers
You can put anything you want instead of "adslusb" (lowercase only) but this made sense to me.
Wait about 45-60 mins. (Yep that's right, go make a brew, read a book or something.)
When it's finally finished type the following:
You'll see a list of the names of the files in the folder as well as the names of your new kernel image and kernel headers.
They should look (approximately)like these:
kernel-image-2.6.12-adslusb_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
kernel-headers-2.6.12-adslusb_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Now install them by typing these commands
(change the name of the files to the ones you have seen after 'ls' command)
Code:
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.12-adslusb_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
dpkg -i kernel-headers-2.6.12-adslusb_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Reboot and choose your new kernel.
Hopefully all is working and the green "link" light is flashing then staying on letting you know the firmware is loaded and the modem is ready to connect.
Congratulations, Stage 1 completed, hurrah.
IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG;
REBOOT
CHOOSE THE ORIGINAL KERNEL
LOGIN
ISSUE THESE COMMANDS IN ROOT TERMINAL(see above).
Code:
dpkg -r kernel-image-2.6.12-adslusb
dpkg -r kernel-headers-2.6.12-adslusb
Okay hopefully you reached this point.
Re-open Root Nautilus and Root Terminal(see above).
In Terminal
Code:
cp /usr/share/doc/ppp/examples/peers-pppoa /etc/ppp/peers/yourprovidername
In Nautilus
Go to Filesystem: /etc/ppp/peers folder.
Open the file yourprovidername by double clicking on it.
Change the "user=you@yourrealm" field to
Code:
"user=yourusername@yourprovidername"(without the quotes)
The only other things in this file should be.
Code:
plugin pppoatm.so
noipdefault
usepeerdns
defaultroute
persist
noauth
nopcomp
noccp
novj
Save and Exit
Go to Filesystem: /etc/ppp folder
Open the file "chap-secrets"
Add a line
Code:
"yourusername * yourpassword"(without the quotes)
Open the file "pap-secrets"
And do the same.
Rename the file "options" to "options.orig"(right-click choose "Rename").
Create new file "options" and enter these values:
Code:
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 60
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx
replacedefaultroute
noipdefault
#noauth
persist
lcp-max-configure 50
-pap
name any
user 'yourusername'(without the quotes)
defaultroute
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.3/pppoatm.so 0.38
Create file "resolv.conf"(right-click choose "Create Document"--->"Empty File")
Open this file and add this:
Code:
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is replaced by your ISP DNS Servers.
Go to /etc folder.
Open the file "modules"
Add a line:
Code:
"pppoatm"(without the quotes).
Save and Exit.
----- COPY SECTION - If files "cxacru" and/or "cxacru.service" are not in "/etc" directory do this section, otherwise skip it. -----
Go to Filesystem: /usr/src/cxacru/scripts/service folder.
Right-click on cxacru choose "Copy"
Go back to Filesystem: /etc
Right-click on space and choose "Paste"
Right-click and choose "Rename", and call it "cxacru.service"(without the quotes).
Go to Filesystem: /usr/src/cxacru/scripts/config folder.
Right-click on cxacru choose "Copy"
Go back to Filesystem: /etc
Right-click on space and choose "Paste"
----- END COPY SECTION -----
Open "/etc/cxacru" file and change it to read like this. #
Code:
# Config file for Conexant AccessRunner
#
# Driver mode
DRIVER_MODE=1 # 1 = normal, 2 = debug, 3 = normal+max speed (without ask adsl status), 4 = debug+max speed (without ask adsl status)
# Protocol
PROTOCOL_MODE=2 # 1 = RFC1483/2684 routed, 2 = PPP over ATM (pppoa), 3 = RFC1483/2684 bridged, 4 = PPP over Ethernet (pppoe)
# Paths
BINARY_PATH="/usr/sbin"
ATM_PATH=""
# ADSL
# if OPEN_MODE is blank then cxload uses default mode acoording VID & PID
# Values for OPEN_MODE are:
# 0 = auto selection, G.Handshake
# 1 = auto selection, T1.413
# 2 = G.Handshake
# 3 = ANSI T1.413
# 4 = ITU-T G.992.1 (G.DMT)
# 5 = ITU-T G.992.2 (G.LITE)
OPEN_MODE=
# ATM
VPI=0
VCI=38
# Specific for RFC1483/2684 routed/bridged
# if IP_ADDRESS is blank in bridged mode then it uses DHCP to get IP
IP_ADDRESS=
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=
The altered numbers are PROTOCOL_MODE and ATM.
Save and Exit.
Go to Filesystem: /usr/src/cxacru/scripts folder.
Add this folder to Bookmarks.
Copy all files ending in .sh
Can be done by pressing Ctrl-A then, whilst holding down Ctrl, click the folders and files you don't want. Then press Ctrl-C
Go to FileSystem: /etc
Right-click on space and choose "Paste". Go to Filesystem: /etc/network folder.
Open file "interfaces".
Comment out (put a # at the front) of these lines, if they are there:
Code:
iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider ppp0
And insert the following:
Code:
# The ADSL connection
iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider yourproviderfile
# waits 70 seconds for the line to be ready
pre-up /usr/local/sbin/checkADSL.sh
# enables ip forwarding (this is a gateway)
pre-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules
auto ppp0
In Nautilus
Go to Filesystem: /usr/local/sbin folder.
Create file and call it "checkADSL.sh"(without the quotes).
Open it to edit.
And type in the values:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
## For /usr/local/sbin run it on boot
count=0
while [ $count -lt 70 ]
do
sync=$(dmesg | grep "ADSL line: up")
if [ ! -z "$sync" ]
then
exit 0
fi
sleep 1
count=$((1+$count))
done
Save and Exit.
Right-click choose "Properties" then "Permissions" Tab and tick all the Read and Execute boxes.
This script is a delay which you need or the interface will not be connected when the network is brought up at boot.
This is a fix-up but it does work.
In Nautilus
Go to Filesystem: /usr/local/lib folder.
Right-click choose "Create Folder" and call it "cxacru"(without the quotes).
In Terminal
Code:
cp /usr/src/cxacru-fw/cxacru-fw.bin /usr/local/lib/cxacru/cxfirm5.bin
I would also get rid of the ntpdate check on boot as you aren't connected anyway.
To do this choose System->Administration->Services and uncheck (ntpdate)
REBOOT (Do not try dialing yet.)
When you reboot and login type:
In Terminal
Code:
pppd call yourproviderfile
And I hope it works for you as it did for me. Good Luck.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slight Addendum:
Don't use kppp, gnome-ppp or System->Administration->Networking to change the PPP settings as it screws up the files for this connection.
I re-did my entire install from scratch several times during doing this walkthrough to make sure it worked.
It should work on a fresh install of "Breezy", I can't vouch for anything else or if you have already altered your system from the default.
This is for a UK broadband ISP so I don't know if it will work in other countries.
Have Fun.
