Documentation of what to do in system-config-network... see bug #131556. That one really would break the string freeze though. To get a SpeedTouch working... Fetch and install tomorrow's rawhide RPMS for rp-pppoe and ppp from ftp://pentafluge.infradead.org/pub/dsl/ Fetch speedtouch-firmware-3.0.1.2-1.nosrc.rpm from the same place, fetch the firmware ZIP file and rebuild to produce speedtouch-firmware-3.0.1.2-1.noarch.rpm. Install that too. Fetch the updated kernel driver from bk://linux-mtd.bkbits.net/speedtch-usb-2.6 or perhaps more usefully from ftp://pentafluge.infradead.org/pub/dsl/usbatm-20041007.tar.gz Build it (assuming you downloaded the latter): tar xvfz usbatm-20041007.tar.gz cd usbatm make nodebug Install the modules in /lib/modules: cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/usb/misc depmod -a Load them: rmmod speedtch # make sure the old one is gone modprobe speedtch Look in /proc/net/atm/speedtch:0 to check the firmware loads OK. It'll take a few seconds. If it doesn't succeed in loading the firmware for itself, try building the modules without 'nodebug' (just 'make') and they'll be a little more verbose. Then bitch at me about it. Make sure your DSL username/password are in /etc/ppp/{chap,pap}-secrets as usual. Set up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 with your username and vci/vpi details, something like this... # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. IPV6INIT=yes IPV6TO4INIT=yes USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes TYPE=xDSL DEVICE=ppp0 BOOTPROTO=dialup PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid FIREWALL=NONE PING=. PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80 LCP_FAILURE=86400 LCP_INTERVAL=1 #CLAMPMSS=1412 CONNECT_POLL=6 CONNECT_TIMEOUT=604800 PERSIST=yes SYNCHRONOUS=no DEFROUTE=yes USER=fish VPI=0 VCI=38 LINUX_PLUGIN=pppoatm.so PROVIDER=aaisp DEMAND=604800 IPADDR=192.0.0.192 REMIP=192.0.0.193 MRU=1500 MTU=1500 Then 'ifup ppp0'. It ought to work. Reboot. It ought to come up automatically. The firmware will load as soon as USB devices are initialised and the line should start synchronising while your initscripts are starting up. (If you have a different USB DSL modem which uses the 'xdslusb' driver which was a slightly more generic version of the old speedtch driver, then fix your horrid old userspace firmware loading code to use request_firmware() from the kernel and use the new 'usb_atm' core I/O code, like I did for speedtch. I merged the xdslusb patches for padding and variable endpoints into the usb_atm part.) -- dwmw2
