Set up a Trust 235a Speedlink Webmodem

This describes how you set up a Trust 235a Speedlink DSL Webmodem on Mandrake 10.1 Community. It uses kernel 2.6.9 as an example.


 * Download the kernel-source(-2.6-2.6.8.1-24mdk.... for example) from `install software`(cd`s)or a new kernel from Kernel.org and unpack the kernel to /usr/src/.

cd /usr/src
 * Change to the directory:


 * Run "menuconfig" as the user "root"


 * Go to the section Device Driver -&gt; Networking Support -&gt; Networking Options -&gt; and select the following to be installed:
 * (M) Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
 * (M) Classical IP over ATM
 * (*) Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour
 * (M) LAN Emulation (LANE) support
 * (M) Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) support
 * (M) RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols
 * (*) Per-VC IP filter kludge


 * Go to the section Device Driver -> USB Support -> and select the following:
 * (M) Support for USB
 * (M) Alcatel Speedtouch USB Support


 * Save your changes and exit menuconfig. Now run "make", after that finishes then run "make modules_install", and then finally "make install". If your computer freezes restart your system. Then try again.


 * Go to "configure your computer"


 * Go to section Network and Internet->Manage Internet and fill in user name, password, ip, and so on


 * Remove these packages from your system:
 * liblinuxatm1-2.4.1-4mdk
 * libusb0_1-4.0.1.8-2mdk(*)
 * ppp2.4.2-7mdk.pppoatm2.4.2-7mdk


 * Make sure you have ~configure your computer~ installed


 * Go to the Conexant USB ADSL Modem Linux Driver project and download:
 * ppp-2.4.1-6plf.i586.rpm
 * linux-atm-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm
 * libusb-0.1.6-3.i386.rpm
 * libusb-devel-0.1.6-3.i386.rpm


 * Now install them.


 * Download cxacru.tar.bz2update for new kernels(those are 2.6.x kernels the other cxacru files are for 2.4.x kernels)


 * unpack cxacru.tar.bz2update in /usr/local/src.


 * Run "make" in the terminal using the user "root".

PROTOCOL_MODE(standart=1)=2 ,VPI=8 VCI=48(this counts for the trust235a)and P_ADDRESS= NETMASK= GATEWAY= (yours)
 * Go to file /etc/cxacru open it and modify the next items:

noauth persist lcp-max-configure 50 usepeerdns name any user &quot;username&quot; defaultroute plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so 8.48 (8.48 are the vpi/vci values of a 235 modem)
 * edit the file /etc/ppp open it go to file `options` (root) remove it and replace it with new options file(create)with : noipdefault


 * Restart your computer and thats it.
