Problem installing DSL-modem - but maybe you can help me :)
Yes, my first post Well, let's start with the fact that I'm really new to linux, so try to understand my ignorance. This is the DSL-modem I've got: Telewell TW-EA 100B version 2 I'm running Fedora Core 1.

This is the DSL-modem I've got: Telewell TW-EA 100B version 2
I'm running Fedora Core 1.
On the homepage ( www.telewell.com) they have linux-drivers for both Redhat 8.0 and 9.0. I've tried to install them, but Fedora has a newer kernel, and I suppose that's the "problem". So how can I update the drivers? To support the kernel-version that is in Fedora Core 1.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
PS. If any of you get's really excited and want's to modify them youselves here is a direct link: http://www.easytel.fi/a/linux/Linux_usb.zip (But If possible a walkthrough of the process would be nice too.

Hi!
I've also a problem with telewell under linux.
I hope you're still listening to this thread.
Probably I'm just to stupid to use pppd.
Now here's the situation:
I've got USB and ATM-Support and installed the recommended ppp-Version from this accessrunner page.
I installed cxacru-Drivers, set protocol-mode to 2 (ppp over atm) and changed the /etc/ppp/options-file according to the documentation (i.e. setting 0.100 as VPI.VCI for dna-internet).
When I start cxstart.sh everything goes fine, the LEDs light or blink as they should. At the end pppd is started.
I had to remove the line "Yam any", because pppd said, it's an unknown option, but now it works. So I have an interface ppp0.
The problem is:
The interface is not connected. I don't have an IP-adress and
no route. With that the "network is unreachable".
In fact there seems to be something missing:
[... cxstart.sh ...]
$ pppd
Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so loaded.
PPPoATM plugin_init
PPPoATM setdevname - remove unwanted options
PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:0.100
$ cat /proc/net/atm/pvc
Itf VPI VCI AAL RX(PCR,Class) TX(PCR,Class)
0 0 100 5 0 UBR 0 UBR
$ cat /proc/net/atm/arp
IPitf TypeEncp Idle IP address ATM address
$
Now, what is missing?
I appreciate any help,
Fabian
