Bug#217826: RFA: eagle-adsl
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I hereby propose the eagle-adsl package for adoption. I used to have
an interest in bringing it to a working state, but I have no real
incentive to keep improving it, as it now works for me (twenty-four hours
a day, I might add). I also suffer from lack of time to properly maintain
it.
Current pending tasks:
- add hotplug support for a few variants of the modem with different USB
vendor/product IDs;
- add support for changing the ATM VPIs/VCIs, depending on the
configuration (normal line, "unbundled" line, various ADSL providers);
- track upstream development (including support for the 2.6 kernels,
currently under developmet);
- coordinate with pppd maintainer(s) to de-duplicate the pppoa daemon;
- sort out the pppoa/pppoe mess (in which I have absolutely no clue);
- maybe provide a set of precompiled kernel modules for the various
kernel-image-* packages available.
Ideal candidate would speak French since upstream team is French, but I
believe they also speak English. Obviously should have an ADSL modem
based on the Eagle chipset and an appropriate Internet provider. If
you're interested, I have a couple of e-mails I can resend you with
appropriate info for some of the pending tasks. I could also act as a
sponsor if you need one. Please contact me :-)
If you're French: "unbundled line" is "ligne dégroupée".
