Sagem F@st 800...[not supported yet???]

[atanase]

February 25, 2007

I am about 2 days new user of Kubuntu 6.10.
At this stage I can not establish an ADSL connection.
I use a Sagem USB modem.
I even tried to establish a dial up connection with no result.

Can anybody help?
Thanks.

After searching a lot in the Web, I guess that the usb adsl modem Sagem Fast 800 E4 is not supported yet.

Therefore if you type the following commands and you get:

dmesg | grep ueagle

[17222367.036000]: [ueagle-atm] driver ueagle-gna 1.3 loaded
[17222367.036000]: usbcore: registered new driver ueagle-atm

plog

Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4703]: Plugin pppoatm. so loaded
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: pppd 2.4.4 by user,uid 1000
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: connect (8.35): No such device
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: Exit

Check the following link

http://forum.eagle-usb.org/viewforum.php?f=11

and participate in the development of the new ueagle driver.

Re: no Internet connection...

Thanks for your interest.

I found some useful information in the following links:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Us...dem/ueagle-atm (English)
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/ueagle-atm (French)

I build the ueagle-atm driver using the following files:
ueagle-atm-1.3.tar.gz
ueagle-data-1.1.tar.gz

I tried to establish a connection using the commands:
$sudo kate /etc/ppp/peers/ueagle-atm

And editing:

user "username@otenet.gr"
plugin pppoatm.so 8.35
noipdefault
usepeerdns
defaultroute
persist
noauth
Note: when I run either kate or kwrite I receive the following notices:
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 145
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 145
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
And when I save and close the text editor:
QObject:: disconnect: Unexpected null parameter

Later I edit the following file:
$sudo kate /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
By typing:
"username@otenet.gr" ''*'' "password" ''*''
Note: again the same notice:
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 145
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 145
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device

I test the connection with the following commands:
$sudo modprobe ueagle-atm
$dmesg | grep ueagle
And I get:
[17222367.036000]: [ueagle-atm] driver ueagle-gna 1.3 loaded
[17222367.036000]: usbcore: registered new driver ueagle-atm

Instead of this indicated in the instructions
[4294707.683000] usb 1-1: [ueagle-atm] modem operational
[4294707.691000] usb 1-1: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 44e2ea17

Is that a good sign??

I establish the connection with:
$sudo modprobe pppoatm
$sudo pppd call ueagle-atm
plugin pppoatm.so loaded

and I configure it with:
$ifconfig
This is what I get:
lo Lien encap: Local Loopback

When I run the command plog I get:

Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4703]: Plugin pppoatm. so loaded
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: pppd 2.4.4 by user,uid 1000
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: connect (8.35): No such device
Feb 25 19:30:16 user-desktop pppd[4705]: Exit

Finally, no Internet access.
Desperate. Can anybody help??
