Hi, I've been having problems with a BT Voyager 100 USB ADSL modem. I can't belive there is no driver supplied by BT for this modem, its shocking but... If you go to the website http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/tutorial.php?lang=en they have a tutorial for newbies with all the drivers and docs, so its good there are people out there making up for BT's shortfalls... cheers flashtux! Hope this helps anyone with similar problems. Adam

If you are shocked now, wait until you have to use their 'technical support'.

BT?.....technical support?.....heh heh.....lol.....you've just made my day!=o)

Heh! - It's no laughing matter if you've signed up for their default 1 year contract. "You're running Linux Sir? - Please close it down and open the control panel from the start menu..."

Sounds familiar: Supposed Tech: "Hi - how can I help you?" Me: "Hi - I'm trying to hook up my linux box via PPP and I'm running into some problems. It works fine under '95, but I can't seem to get it to connect right under linux. I can resolve hostnames and even ..." T: "Um, sir - what kind of computer is it?" Me: "IBM compatible. Specifically, an Ambra." T: "Ok - what happens when you try running Trumpet Winsock?" * Slapping my forehead... * Me: "This is linux. It doesn't run Trumpet Winsock." T: "Oh - it's a DOS program?" * sigh * Me: "No - it's an operating system. Trumpet runs fine under '95." (Well, after I upgraded to a 32 bit version on my own, anyways) T: "Well, have you tried running this program under '95 then?" * aggh!! * Me: "No - it IS an operating system. It doesn't run under another operating system." T: "Oh. Ok - so what happens when you try to run Winsock under it?" (murdurous thoughts are beginning to go through my head) After a couple more exchanges back and forth, she finally understands that Winsock won't run under linux for some weird reason. Me: "So, can I get an incident number so I can talk to a tech?" T: "Sure - I just need to get some info from you..." She gets down my name, room number, phone number, computer type and brand, then we get interesting again. T: "Ok - so is this under Windows 3.1 or Windows '95?" Me: "Neither - it's linux." T: "Which type of Windows does it run under though?" (I'm sharpening my axe now...) Me: "Neither! It runs on it's own!" T: "Oh!!! Oh! I'm sorry, in that case we can't help you. We only support Windows 3.1 and Windows '95." Me: "WHAT?!?" T: "Sorry - that's all we're currently supporting. Have a nice day." <Click>

i run mandrake 10.0 community version. The site says u need to patch the 2.6 kernel b4 u install the drivers. I cant get my head around the patching of the kernel. This is supposed to be the patch README TXT WARNING: your 2.6.x kernel should be patched with this patch: 2.6.x-usb.patch To apply the patch, go to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x directory and issue this command: patch -p1 </path/to/2.6.x-usb.patch If all is ok you should see: patching file drivers/usb/core/devio.c Then you have to RECOMPILE and REINSTALL the kernel. You need to create again your driver config with eciconf.sh or eciconftxt.sh THE PATCH? --- linux-2.6.0/drivers/usb/core/devio.c 2003-12-18 21:32:47.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.0/drivers/usb/core/devio-new.c 2003-12-18 21:33:51.000000000 +0100 @@ -834,6 +834,9 @@ break; case USBDEVFS_URB_TYPE_ISO: + if (!(ep_desc = usb_epnum_to_ep_desc(ps->dev, uurb.endpoint))) + return -ENOENT; + interval = ep_desc->bInterval; /* arbitrary limit */ if (uurb.number_of_packets < 1 || uurb.number_of_packets > 128) return -EINVAL; How do i go about the patch? i tried installing without patching the 2.6 kernel and it didnt work. how do i uninstall the drivers? Thanks.

I have a BT Voyager 105 USB ADSL Modem I patched my kernel in mandrake 10 using the description given in http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/doc/eciadsl-mdk10.txt. When I use startmoden, I have message like "try to remove ehic-hcd" and nothing esle. Any will be welcome. thanks
