Clitheroe Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hello, everyone. Well, I thought I'd finally cracked it (after many attempts of trying as a Linux newbie) and was going to get my SpeedTouch 330 working in Mandriva 2006. Here's the script I ran for your thoughts on what might have gone wrong. I would really appreciate any help, thanks: Password: [root@virgin david]# dir autosave Download speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006 benefitstrapgermany.doc mgmt.o speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006.tar.gz David's\ Documents Music speedtouch-firmware_0.3012k_all.deb Desktop ogg tmp Documents Pictures Video [root@virgin david]# tar xzvf speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006.tar.gz speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006/ speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006/po/ speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006/po/C/ Then there are long lines of 'speedtouchconf-27-Jun-2006' etc. that just go on repeating themselves for quiet a while before we get to: © Steve Parker, 17 Oct 2002 - 2005 (http://steve-parker.org) speedtouchconf comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type: ./speedtouchconf.sh -gpl This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions.

Rebasing to 974 And that's as far as the script gets. Can anyone think of what might be wrong? I'm assuming I have the right microcode in ' mgmt.o' , but I'm not entirely sure. Any thoughts/help on this matter would be appreciated. Many thanks, Dave. :mellow: [moved from Tips & Tricks by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laiback Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Clitheroe Please note that I am a newbie so take the following as you wish. I too had problems getting my Speedtouch 330 working. I use a USB connection, I assume yours is the same. The only system I have managed to get it to work with is Mandriva 2005 or 2006. Currently I use 2006. I tried Susie, Debian, Damn small linux, Fedora.....etc. all no go. I downloaded the tar from Steve Parker's site (speedtouchconf-?????.tar.gz. This unzipped OK as per instructions from Steve. As for the microcode part you have to go elsewhere. After much messing around with the wrong files I tried with rev4fw.zip ( links from Steve's site I believe). But before I ran the install script again I followed Steve's advice and:- 1.Cleaned my installation by running his remove script ( I had run install several times already so needed a clean sheet ) 2 Went into "Remove Software" option from the System/Configuration/Packaging menu and removed the Mandriva installed speedtouch routines. You may well have some installed as well and they just get in the way, remove them. 3 Rebooted and started again. (Make sure you have the microcode file copied into the speedtouchconf???? directory that gets created after you unzip the tar. See Steve'sinstructions) hey presto after this installation it worked. This time I got beyond the error message section of Steve's script and the green lights flashed for about 1 min as they are supposed to. And I was online. I too had previously had these error messages (235,245 etc) and had written to Steve for advice. His advice was as above. I seem to remember that these error messages indicate microcode problems, but I could be wrong as I didn't write it all down. I put my problem down to the microcode I had originally used. It was the wrong one. Unfortunately as my Speedtouch is coloured black I went for the microcode for black boxes...wrong! I needed the code for the grey modems! I believe that you can query you modem to find out which type it is, but I have no information as to how this is done. My advice is don't go by its colour. Since I have got it working I have been very pleased with it. Steve Parker was a great help and replies to emails almost by return, very kind of him. I had almost given up with Linux as a result of my experience since I had a link running from XP with 10 mins of getting the Speedtouch out of the box. But, I'm very pleased that I persevered, through the problem I learnt a little and best of all got involved with the forum. I cannot remember the last time I used XP online!...that must say something. So please persevere, it can be done, myself and others can testify to that. And I don't forget that I am a newbie. I'm off line for a break over the next week so will not be able to reply further just at the moment. I trust the above is helpful. Steve's site is http://steve-parker.org/speedtouchconf/ where you will find instructions, links to files (tars etc) and some example printouts of his scripts running. I printed the lot out to have as reference. Kindest regards Laidback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
