Re: Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Modem Setup...
Ben,
I hope you are a patient man. I remember spending over 3 weeks trying to
figure out the alcatel speedtouch modem. That was however on a redhat
machine and without the kind help of so many kind debian users.
I was able to however find a couple of good HOWTO's. The first one I
followed was the one provided as README by Alcatel themselves. Have you
tried going through all the steps there.
I did this a while ago(April) and now have a cable modem **SO SO MUCH
EASIER** just to use DHCP.
Anyways, another one i found was,
http://www.linuxdude.co.uk/docs/Alcatel-Speedtouch-USB-mini-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html
If you not on the BT network, this one may not help you so much but
could still give you a clue.
I remember also having to unplug the modem and plug it in after boot now
and again. Also once it connects, it shows up a message in
/var/log/messages saying something about local IP and remote IP.
This is from memory (apart from the url)
good luck (You'll probably need as much of this as you can get if it is
as difficult as it was for me)
