Sagem F@st 800 E4 / PPPoE / Timeout waiting for PADO packets

slepy · 2007-12-07 10:18:55

I've been using Arch for a while, but this is my first post, so hello everybody

Here's the problem: I have two computers - desktop and laptop (Compaq Evo N800w). I used to have Linux installed on my desktop (with Speedtouch 330 modem), which was used as a file/print/mpd server and Internet connection router, and Windows on the laptop, Unfortunately the Speedtouch modem has broken down and to make matters worse I couldn't buy the same as a replacement and I ended up with a brand new Sagem F@st 800 E4, which was descriped as "not supported" by Linux, but I managed to get it working with svn ueagle-atm driver. The bad thing was the driver wouldn't work after each kernel update and I had to reinstall it (it was because i had never installed it properly - the make and make install required to be run as root, but using sudo was not enough and (since I've been using sudo) I was getting some weird errors and manually copying driver files to the kernel directory).

Few times the driver wouldn't compile and I had to update the code from svn so I had to get connected to the Internet, and it meant trying to connect ADSL to my laptop (which was not a solution, because I was trying Windows Vista at the time, and there was (surprise) no Vista driver for Sagem. So each kernel update consisted of installing old kernel again, rebooting, compiling the driver, trying to find a workaround for those make install errors (now it's solved ), downloading new source code from svn, installing new kernel, compiling new driver, rebooting and hoping it would work. It worked few times, but it didn't once, and I was so irritated by the prospect of being offline that I have installed Windows XP on the desktop and Linux on my laptop.

But now I wish to make a change again, since a lot of people managed to make E4 working, because current solution causes some other problems. But I wanted to check the modem on my laptop first, and here's what i got.

The driver (http://svn.gna.org/svn/ueagleatm/trunk/ueagle-atm) is compiling without errors. After plugging the modem in firmware (http://download.gna.org/ueagleatm/ikano … 1.0.tar.gz) is loading correctly.

dmesg:

Dec  7 10:35:28 evo usb 1-1: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : a10050b

(...)
Dec  7 10:35:38 evo usb 1-1: [ueagle-atm] modem operational

My ISP is PPPoE so I start the br2684ctl utility (from AUR) with correct VPI/VCI

# /usr/sbin/br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 8.35
# ifconfig nas0 up

dmesg:

ifconfig:

Then I try to connect

# pppd call net24

and it fails.

dmesg:
