Zoom 5510 ADSL USB Modem Install (UK)

[Malac]

No I haven't made a change at all in Windows. But now I looked at the settings in the Windows' device manager and saw that "Zoom USB Network Adapter" is deactivated. I activated it and now I can access Internet. So how did it disable itself?

And now when I try to start up Ubuntu, it does not log in! It locks up at the start of Ubuntu (the screen where we see the progress bar). I plugged out the modem and restarted and there is no problem, I can login to Ubuntu What can be the problem, it is strange that when it works for one OS it does not work for the other

I can only think that if you reboot from one OS to another it isn't clearing the firmware. If you are switching from one OS to the other you may be better shutting down then restarting so the modem firmware is reset for each OS.
The firmware maybe you are using for Ubuntu may be a different version try copying the CnxEtU.sys one from the Windows install, running the cxacru program on it and use the extracted one in Ubuntu to make sure they are the same versions.

Yes reseting the modem at each startup fixes the problem, thanks!

But now i have this problem. In the "System Log" view on Ubuntu, I can see an error message every 5 seconds and it is annoying

... kernel [some numbers]: ATM dev 0: poll status: error -5

it is posting repeatedly every 5 seconds! I know this is because of cxacru driver because in the source code of this driver there is a function that puts this error.

What can be the cause and how can I fix it? Thanks..

I have that too, I have never bothered to fix it as it hasn't bothered me since I did the first install on Breezy. I will look into it if I can get the time.

Hii, I got a ADSL USB Modem UTStarcom UT-300U the chip set is conexant v2. I tried to follow your How-To. The modem lights up continually. the modem shows up in the hardware list but . when i run

pppd call myprovidername
Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/pppoatm.so loaded.
Plugin pppoatm.so loaded.

Note the bold area is 2.4.4 it is different from what u have said in the how to which is 2.4.4b1. I did this because there is no folder called 2.4.4b1.Is this ok?

I tried to ping the IP address you u gave but it says no connection to network.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) I have attached screen shots with the details of my modem. Can you please tell me how to get this modem working.




Good Luck

@Lenzino
Have you tried the eagle-atm drivers or the eciadsl drivers?
