Re: demon usb modem [WAS: suggestions of uncapped Broadband >512Kbp in UK]
The instructions I followed were:
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/docs/sargehowto.html
However, you do *not* need to do configure the kernel.
You *do* need to "apt-get install speedtouch"!
You do *NOT* need to install hotplug - 'cos it's already there.
You *do* need to get the firmware!
You do not need to install the hotplug script the "apt-get install speedtouch"
inserts that for you.
You need to configure PPPoA and create your /etc/pppp/peers/ file. I called
mine "demon" and it looks like this:
debug
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 3
noipdefault
defaultroute
user "mydemonusername@myaccesspoint.demonadsl.co.uk"
noauth
noaccomp
nopcomp
noccp
novj
holdoff 4
persist
maxfail 25
updetach
#usepeerdns
plugin pppoatm.so
0.38
Notice that I have commented out "usepeerdns" this is because of other parts
of my setup.
Next, you *do* need to setup chap-secrets and pap-secrets with your details.
libatm1 should be installed as a dependency of speedtouch.
That should be it - now just "Plug and Play"!
Good luck.
