Speedtouch 330 in Linux


Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me how to get my internet working in Fedora Core 1, I have a Speedtouch 330 USB Modem. I have searched the net for how to get it up and running, but the guides are far too complicated for a relative newcomer to linux. Can someone who has acctually done this please reply, and please dont link to guides, because ive probably read them.

Thanks.

Ok, tell us a bit about what you have tried, and the faults (if any) that occured...

And, could you post the output of a /sbin/ifconfig command, it might help, too.

I don't know how much I can help you... :(

Did you set your vpi and vci properly for your country of residence?

Were there any faults generated during any of the copy or edit processes?

Also, not sure, but I think that this device may show up as a ppp device when you do an /sbin/ifconfig. Try doing that and post what it shows here in the thread.

Here is the output of /sbin/ifconfig and what happens when I run the script that I made in the guide posted above.

[root@localhost root]# /sbin/ifconfig

There were no faults when I followed the guide.

I don't use any sort of dial-up, but shouldn't ppp0 appear on your list when you do /sbin/ifconfig ???

I guess the best thing is to google a bit more, while hoping someone with ADSL experience can step in and figure out what is holding you up....

Thanks for the replies, I have found an excelent guide at speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net which takes all the hard work out for all us n00bs. After formatting and reinstalling Fedora, I followed the simple guide and now my internet is working :)

:cool: Glad you were able to get it working!

Some hardware requires extra effort to get working in Linux, but support keeps getting better (every day! :woot: ) I don't think it will be long before installing Linux is easier than Windows. It already is easier, in some respects!
