I've been trying to get my Thomson Speedtouch 330 modem working in SuSE. I have been following this sourceforge project
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/in.../index.en.html
And using this guide:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p....html?rev=HEAD
I know how to set up PPPd and all that, but how do I configure the kernel outlined in the first part of the guide?
This is the part i'm concerned with:
-----------------------------------------------------
Options to allow usb support :
<M>/<*> Support for USB (CONFIG_USB)
<*> Preliminary USB device filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS)
<M> UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI)
<M> UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support (CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT)
<M> OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support (CONFIG_USB_OHCI)
PPP support
You'll need ppp support in your kernel. If needed compile these parts:
<M> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support (CONFIG_PPP)
<M> PPP support for sync tty ports (CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY)
HDLC support
This part is more sensible. If you want to allow proper reconnection, you'll have to patch this module.
Take it easy, you'll find the patch in the drivers' tarball and the command line to run is simple :
# cd /usr/src/linux
# patch -p1 --dry-run < /path/to/drivers/n_hdlc.c.diff (watchout: two - before dry-run ! )
If you don't get error message, type the real command to currently patch the kernel sources
#patch -p1 < /path/to/drivers/n_hdlc.c.diff
NB: Kernels >= 2.4.18 include our n_hdlc patch so you have not to apply the patch anymore
You can continue, now :
Character devices --->[*] Non-standard serial port support
<M> HDLC line discipline support[*]Unix98 PTY support
--------------------------------------------------
Where does all this <M> stuff go?
As I sad, i'm completely savvy with all of the rest of the guide.
Cheers!
