HowTo: SpeedTouch 330 USB Modem

[Nyati]

This has been done before, but I decided to compile this again as I know, by experience, how frustrated you can get when you can't find a step by step procedure that explains everything.

Well, download the attachment and follow the instructions.

Please note, this HowTo does not support ethernet connections and is specific to the U.K. only.

This is an updated script to follow if you've found that this hasn't worked.

I realised that it didn't work on a similar machine to what I currently use, namely an IBM T30 Thinkpad.

Enjoy!

Hi, It states in the instructions that this is for the silver 330 modem, I have a black one of recent origin, is there any reason why it wont work with the black one ?

I really don't know.. but I think the problem is in the firmware, you need to get the firmware for your black one. I only know the silver and the dark pink one.

I have been through the how to guide and the ADSL line goes up, sync but the authentication never happens any ideas :

May 5 16:30:16 localhost kernel: [4317604.473000] usbcore: registered new drive r speedtch
May 5 16:30:16 localhost kernel: [4317604.718000] usb 1-2: found stage 1 firmwa re speedtch-1.bin.4
May 5 16:30:17 localhost kernel: [4317605.298000] usb 1-2: found stage 2 firmwa re speedtch-2.bin.4
May 5 16:30:22 localhost kernel: [4317610.005000] ADSL line is synchronising
May 5 16:30:37 localhost kernel: [4317625.005000] ADSL line is up (7456 Kib/s down | 448 Kib/s up)

in the chap / pap secret files should by username and password be enclosed in "" marks i.e. should it appear like this

"john.mccracken@myisp.com" "*" "password"

or should it be like this :

john.mccracken@myisp.com * password

[GothicX]

Try with:

"john.mccracken@myisp.com" * "password"

And it will work =) syncronization is working.. firmware is ok! the char ( * ) doesn't have any quotes.

I tried to configure my Speedtouch in this way... but when I plug in the modem, I have these two messages:

May 13 16:38:57 localhost kernel: [4296416.496000] ADSL line is synchronising
May 13 16:39:22 localhost kernel: [4296441.496000] ADSL line is up (4832 Kib/s down | 320 Kib/s up)

without the rest of the messages of the connection. In order to connect the modem I have to do pppd call adslscript.
And if I want to disconnect it, I have to do poff, It doesn't disconnect automatically when I plug out the modem!

How can I resolve these troubles?

You've tried pppd disconnect adslscript !? =)

I've got exactly the same problem. I've tried all sorts of combinations of "s and *s for my pap- and chap-secrets files, but nothing seems to work. At the moment I've got

"mylogin@myisp.com" * "passowrd" *

Do I need the second star? Should I have a # before? Please help.
