Subject: Advice on setting up USB ADSL modem
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2005 01:48:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42BE0973.6000806@pbw.id.au> (raw)
I hope this it the right place to ask this question; my apologies if not.
I have a USB ADSL modem which is currently running on a desktop system.
The modem uses the Nortek development version of the eciadsl driver.
It took me a while to get it working about 12 months ago on an FC3
system, and I currently use it by calling the startup script as root.
There are two phases to connecting. The first is to synchronize the
modem and create a tap interface; the second is to create a ppp link
using rp-pppoe. In my original script I added /sbin/ifup ppp0 after
tap0 was set up.
What I would like to do on my current gentoo system is have the
synchronization and tap0 interface setup/pulled-down when the modem is
plugged/unplugged, and have an on-demand ppp0 setup using the normal
adsl network configuration scripts in gentoo.
The /dev/net/tun device is, I believe, created outside the udev system.
I am running 2.6.12-gentoo-r1, udev-058, hotplug-20040923,
coldplug-20040920. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is /sbin/udevsend.
Should I be using udev rules to set this up? In either case, can you
point me to some documents that will explain the details. (The
documentation I have seen is keyed towards /dev setup and naming,
naturally.)
Thanks,
Peter
