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/.
  • Change to the directory:
cd /usr/src
  • Run "menuconfig" as the user "root"
  • Go to the section Device Driver -> Networking Support -> Networking Options -> 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
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".
  • Go to file /etc/cxacru open it and modify the next items:
PROTOCOL_MODE(standart=1)=2 ,VPI=8
VCI=48(this counts for the trust235a)and P_ADDRESS=
NETMASK=
GATEWAY=  (yours)
  • edit the file /etc/ppp open it go to file `options` (root) remove it and replace it with new options file(create)with : noipdefault
noauth
persist
lcp-max-configure 50
usepeerdns
name any
user "username"
defaultroute
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.1/pppoatm.so 8.48

(8.48 are the vpi/vci values of a 235 modem)

  • Restart your computer and thats it.
