ADSL Connection using Alcatel Speed Touch USB Modem

i never had problems getting the modem running in KNOPPIX 3.2 hd-installations.

knoppix 3.3 seemed impossible to me.

also with 3.4 i fooook yround and nothing positive happens.

i bet with the kernel 2.6 it runs, but i cannot get kernel 2.6 running from hd...

To use Benoit Papillault's drivers with Knoppix 3.3 (and maybe 3.4) you need to remove the speedtch module first (modprobe -r speedtch)
I wrote a small script to make it easier (it works from the CD or from the HD intallation). The script is there :

Please change the VPI and VCI variables at the beginning of the script. The default values may be valid only for France.

For Knoppix 3.4 ct edition, you must use this script to install it with kernel 2.6
Download it and run it with these lines

Code:

---

wget ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/projekte/k...noppix-inst.sh
chmod a+x knoppix-inst.sh
sudo ./knoppix-inst.sh

Unfortunately I cannot use Alcatel USB Speedtouch with this hdd install

kernel 2.6 with speedtouch also for me NO-Go ... i opened a thread here: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...301&highlight=

I followed the instructions on http://david.abdelli.free.fr/speedtouch/en/index.html as indicated earlier in the thread without success. Having looked a little closer at my modem settings in (excuse my langauge) windows - I noticed the vpi and vci numbers were different than those in the speedtouch.sh so I edited them to what my wi*d*ws modem was showing - (0 & 38 respectively), resaved the file and - Bobs yer Frog - its up an running.... :P

I'm in the UK on pipex ADSL, I think these vpi & vci settings are for UK not just pipex but not sure.

If anyone wants it I can post up the modded speedtouch.sh on my website.

PS if you do edit it use KEDIT and don't do it through wordpad in windows like I did first time :oops: It dont work......
