SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
You want to set up your DSL access with the SpeedTouch USB DSL modem under SuSE Linux.
First, you need the management software of Alcatel that can be found at http://www.alcateldsl.com/. To install the management software, proceed as described below:
Please make sure that the packages make
, gcc
and glibc-devel
are installed.
Now you have to change a line in the start script and in the file usb.usermap.
To do so, open the file /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch
with an editor and change the line
modprobe -k speedtch
to
modprobe -k speedtouch
Add one 0x0000 in the file /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap:
Before:
speedtouch 0x0003 0x06b9 0x4061 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 "Alcatel SpeedTouch USB"
After:
speedtouch 0x0003 0x06b9 0x4061 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 "Alcatel SpeedTouch USB"
Restart the hotplug service with the command "rchotplug restart
".
Start YaST2
and open the module
Network/Basic -> DSL Configuration.
You will be asked if T-Online is your provider, answer 'No'.
In the next dialog, enter user name, password, VPI/VCI numbers (e.g., 0.38 for British Telecom), and
switch the 'PPP mode' to 'PPP over ATM'.
Tipp: | You can get the VPI/VCI numbers with the Windows Alcatel Tool or by asking your provider. |
