TOMTOM Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 (edited) Hi, My ADSL USB ECI (GlobeSpan) modem freeze Mandrake 9.1 while booting (after checking modules dependencies. If I plug it only in a KDE session, the session freeze. Note : this modem works well on Linux Knoppix 3.1 (Debian Woody). It looks like a problem with USB detection. My motherboard is an MSI KT3. Any idear ? Thanks, TOM. Edited November 17, 2003 by TOMTOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMTOM Posted November 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Hi, I try to run an USB ADSL modem "ECI" (Globespan), but Mandrake 9.1 has no native driver for it. Do you know how to install it ? Thanks, TOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppercorn Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Yea mate, it is easy!! First as root you have to disable the dabusb component. Go to /etc/hotplug/blacklist Open it up and at the end of the file type in dabusb Save it and restart! Put in your disk with the eciadsl driver on it and double click it. You should have downloaded the rpm version! It will install. Go to a terminal type in su password and then type eciconf.sh A window should open up where you make your settings. Choose your modem, put in your log name and password and save when finished. I don't have to change any of the settings that pop up, other than what I have just said. Maybe you will depending on your provider??? Then, go to drak control centre and go into network config. Choose the wizard to set up a network. When you get the choice select adsl choose pppoe finish the wizard and it will install a few progs. When it completes, get out of there and open a terminal type in su password Then, startmodem that should do it. Sometimes, it doesn't connect 1st time, you can tell this by the 2nd light still flashes. Just type in startmodem again, and you should be right. Let us know how you go!

Peppercorn Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Try this As root, Go to /etc/hotplug/blacklist Open it up and at the end of that file type in dabusb save it and restart. That should fix all of your problems with the freezing part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
