 Speedtouch USB ADSL Drivers - Default branch
Section: Unix

 

Added: Fri, Nov 16th 2001 09:31 UTC (7 years, 0 months ago) Updated: Wed, Dec 12th 2007 16:23 UTC (11 months, 15 days ago)


About:
The GPL Speedtouch USB ADSL driver is different from the "official" Alcatel Linux drivers in several respects. First, it is implemented in user-space, which means that the application of kernel patches or insertion of kernel modules is not required. It also implements its on pppoa encapsulation, so you can use the standard pppd program. Finally, it doesn't use a binary-only managment program. For this driver to work, you will need access to a file that is included with both the official Windows and Linux drivers. This file contains the microcode that is uploaded to the modem.

Thank you very much for this driver. It has been working here for more than two weeks without a flaw.
Keep up the good work!

[»] Support for PPPoE

Hello,
is it possible to use this driver with a provider offering the ADSL service with the PPP Over
Ethernet protocol?

Thanks,
Alex

    We have talked about it but the main problem is the developers haven't got access to a pppoe service to test it. Its conceptually quite easy and should be easier with the next version on the aal5 decode code in 1.2

        Do what exactly? If your looking to implement pppoe you probably want to start with reading RFC's 2364 (PPP over AAL5) and RFC 2516 (PPPoE) and see if you understand how the encapsulation works.

    There is now a patch the hacks pppoa together with Roaring Penguins pppoe client. Check out the project page for details.

Hello Alex,
this comment is just to congratulate with your work:
it solved me a lot of problems, thank you!!

Keep up the great work and make an RPM

    Just to make it clear I'm a small part of the team. I just happen to post the freshmeat entry as well. As far as RPM's are concerned Mandrake alreayd make some so we could use their spec file. The only issue is packaging up the file that contains the microcode. For that we would need Alcatel's permission.

    Alex.
