In order to have your modem working you need to copy in your /lib/module directory the following set of modules:
The modules to have your internet (eth0) NIC working (e.g.
8390.o and ne2k-pci.o for
the ne2000 compatible card assumed in the following example).
The modules for ppp with HDLC support: slhc.o,
n_hdlc.o, ppp_generic.o and
ppp_synctty.o (in this order).
The modules to enable USB support: usbcore.o
and - depending on your hardawre - usb-uhci.o or
usb-ohci.o.
Last but not least you need to install in /lib/modules
the Alcatel USB Speedtouch modem microcode mgmt.o.
This code can downloaded from here or - if
you have a working modem under windows - then copy the
alcaudsl.sys and rename it mgmt.o.
The latest windows drivers can be downloaded from the Alcatel web site.
To declare your modules, go to the LEAF Packages configuration menu
and choose modules. Enter 1) to edit the /etc/modules
file and enter the following information:
# 8390 based ethernet cards 8390 ne2k-pci # Modules needed for PPP connection slhc n_hdlc ppp_generic ppp_synctty # USB support usbcore # Choose one of the two below #usb-uhci usb-ohci # Masquerading 'helper' modules ip_conntrack_ftp ip_conntrack_irc ip_nat_ftp ip_nat_irc
The mgmt.o modem microcode should NOT be declared in the /etc/modules file.
Backup the modules.lrp package.
