mdk10 speedtouch 330

[Stevieag]

Hi, I've set up mdk 9-9.2 with out problems following the tar i downloaded in the past BUT

i am on mdk 10 and i cant set up my usb alcatel speedtouch 330.

i've used the network wizard without joy, i've got mgmt.o and alcatel.sys an a floppy but the program won't pick it up

i've been through the install from the tar as i've successfully done in the past.

i've asked to start the connection at boot. on watching this at first it reported that speedtouch.conf was not in usr/share/speedtouch. i extracted this and placed it as such and now the report is

SIOCDELRT: no such file: no config file

i'm trying to convert full time to linux but this isn't impressing the family?

on install i'm asked for disk 4? where can i get this from? do i need it?

 

i'm running

xp on 1st ntfs partition of 25GB on master ide1, 5GB fat32 swap area for o/s's on this drive

mdk 10 on slave ide1

dvd rom on ide 2 master

cdr on ide2 slave.

1.3Mhz Athlon t'/bird

256MB sdram

via M/B

anything else important?

 

in root terminal all comes up o.k.?

This looks remarkably similar to my thread on this matter. Mine is a version 530 ( which may only be the number used for Australian packaging).

Please have a look at my post and leave a comment there as to whether is is the same. It certainly looks like it.

 

 

I am sorry I forgot to mention that my post on this subject is in the Installation section by mistake and the moderators do not appear to have moved it yet.

 

Also sorry to Moderators

i've downloaded:- ppp-2.4.1-9mdk.src.rpm and

speedtouch-1.2-1mdk.i586.rpm

 

run these and now my modem is responding

 

seems to do as should (flashes, flashes and steady)and connect but not

 

could any one tell me a good way of recording all that is shown during boot up?

this is where an error is shown when connecting. way too much to remember and/or type

 

starts

 

checking internet connections to start at boot
