Hi,

I think I am going mad.....

I have tried just about all the howtos on the internet to get my Alcatel Speedtouch 330 ADSL modem (Speed Touch 330 revision 4) to work with KNOPPIX_V3.3-2004-02-16-EN running from CD and have had just about as much luck as I have with women, hehehe.

My problem is as follows, assuming I use the process outlined in http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/adsl/debian.html which claims to be compatible with Knoppix 3.3. I follow all the instructions, and finally run the script adsl. The script runs fine until the end without error but gives me:
Error: the connection doesn't work?

so I tried doing a bit of homework:

doing a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices I get
T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=06b9 ProdID=4061 Rev= 4.00
S: Manufacturer=THOMSON
S: Product=Speed Touch 330
S: SerialNumber=0090D0C86BA5
C:* #Ifs= 3 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 16 Ivl=50ms
I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=speedtch
.......

so knoppix sees my modem.
Doing a lsmod I get:

Module Size Used by Not tainted
n_hdlc 6144 0 (unused)
speedtch 8720 0 (unused)
crc32 2816 0 [speedtch]
atm 34036 0 [speedtch]
usb-uhci 21836 0 (unused)
usbcore 57472 1 [speedtch usb-uhci]
......

and all the necessary modules seem to be there.

As soon as I connect the modem the green leds light continuously, the right one being dimmer. On termination of the above script, if I listen in on the line there is no communication occuring from the modem. Shouldn't the modem synchronize if the microcode has been uploaded???

In windows all of thos works wonderfully, if only with knoppix.....

Anyone got any ideas of what my problem could be??? Anyone got this version of knoppix to work with this modem?

Any help much appreciated.
