Compiling them into the +kernel is recommended, to guarantee that the modules are already loaded +when they are needed, and it will improve the bootup time by a couple +of seconds. + +In "make menuconfig", you can press "/" and search on e.g. "eagle" +to see exactly where an option is - the location of an option and its +dependencies can change between kernel versions. + +Check that the following kernel options are configured as shown (this +list includes the prerequisites, e.g. USB_UEAGLEATM depends on USB): + + Code maturity level options ---> + [*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers + - CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL + + Device Drivers ---> + Generic Driver Options ---> + [ ] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external + firmware (*unselected*) - CONFIG_STANDALONE + [*] Hotplug firmware loading support - CONFIG_FW_LOADER + + Networking ---> + [*] Networking support - CONFIG_NET + Networking options ---> + [*] Packet socket - CONFIG_PACKET + [M] Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) - CONFIG_ATM + [M] RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols - CONFIG_ATM_BR2684 (only needed for PPPoE) + + Device Drivers ---> + Network device support ---> + [*] Network device support - CONFIG_NETDEVICES + [*] PPP (point-to-point protocol) support - CONFIG_PPP + [M] PPP Deflate compression - CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE (only useful if + compression is supported - rare) + [M] PPP BSD-Compress compression - CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP (only useful + if compression is supported - rare) + [M] PPP over Ethernet - CONFIG_PPPOE (only needed for PPPoE) + [M] PPP over ATM - CONFIG_PPPOATM (only needed for PPPoATM) + USB support ---> + [*] Support for Host-side USB - CONFIG_USB + [*] USB device filesystem - CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS + [M] (O or U)HCI HCD support + USB DSL modem support ---> + [M] USB DSL modem support - CONFIG_USB_ATM + [M] ADI 930 and eagle USB DSL modem - CONFIG_USB_UEAGLEATM + + + +Troubleshooting +=============== + +Try "emerge ueagle-atm" again, because the ebuild checks that the +required kernel modules are present (showing a warning message if +appropriate), and creates the firmware files in /lib/firmware/ueagle-atm. + +If the modem is unresponsive, then run "/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 stop" and +unplug the modem for 30 seconds, to drain its memory.

"man pppd" explains all the options in that file. + +If the ADSL connection seems to have worked, but no websites can be +contacted, then check that /etc/resolv.conf is populated, and possibly +add the "usepeerdns" option (to use the ISP's DNS) to pppd_ppp0 in +/etc/conf.d/net . + +If the problem is still not resolved, post to the Gentoo Forums at +http://forums.gentoo.org/ and ultimately, if there is no answer, +file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ . + + +Compression +=========== + +Some ISPs require compression to be disabled in order for the +connection to work, so the default configuration described above +disables compression. Few ISPs support ADSL compression anyway. If you +are lucky enough to have an ISP which *does* support compression +(Google is your best friend for determining this), then compression can +be enabled by following these steps: + +* Compile the kernel modules CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE and CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP +(only one is strictly necessary - pppd prefers "deflate" compression). +Add them to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 or /etc/conf.d/net above +the "pppoatm" line, if they are not built-in. +* Remove the following options in pppd_ppp0: + noaccomp nobsdcomp noccp nodeflate nopcomp novj novjccomp +* Ensure that "debug" is in the pppd_ppp0 options, to check that +compression is being utilized. Note that "module registered" in +/var/log/messages only confirms that the kernel module is loaded - +it does not indicate that the connection is compressed. diff --git a/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/metadata.xml b/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/metadata.xml new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..ba54a509f95e --- /dev/null +++ b/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/metadata.xml @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<!DOCTYPE pkgmetadata SYSTEM "http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd"> +<pkgmetadata> + <herd>net-dialup</herd> + <longdescription>Firmware and configuration instructions for Eagle USB E4 ADSL Modem driver +available in kernels >= 2.6.16.</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> diff --git a/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/ueagle4-atm-1.0.ebuild b/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/ueagle4-atm-1.0.ebuild new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..6f6566ff6a11 --- /dev/null +++ b/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/ueagle4-atm-1.0.ebuild @@ -0,0 +1,74 @@ +# Copyright 1999-2009 Gentoo Foundation +# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 +# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-dialup/ueagle4-atm/ueagle4-atm-1.0.ebuild,v 1.1 2009/08/22 06:56:12 mrness Exp $ + +EAPI="2" + +inherit eutils linux-info + +DESCRIPTION="Firmware and configuration instructions for Eagle USB E4 ADSL Modem driver" +HOMEPAGE="https://gna.org/projects/ueagleatm/" +SRC_URI="http://eagle-usb.org/ueagle-atm/non-free/ueagle4-data-${PV}.tar.gz" + +LICENSE="Ikanos" +SLOT="0" +KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86" +IUSE="" + +DEPEND="" +RDEPEND="net-dialup/ppp" + +S="${WORKDIR}/ueagle4-data-${PV}" + +pkg_setup() { + linux-info_pkg_setup + + if kernel_is lt 2 6 16 ; then + eerror "The kernel-space driver exists only in kernels >= 2.6.16." + eerror "Please emerge net-dialup/eagle-usb instead or upgrade the kernel." + die "Unsupported kernel version" + fi + + if ! has_version '>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0' ; then + ewarn "The best way of using this driver is through the PPP net module of the" + ewarn " >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0" + ewarn "which is also the only documented mode of using ${PN} driver." + ewarn "Please install baselayout-1.12.0 or else you will be on your own!" + fi +} + +src_install() { + # Copy to the firmware directory + insinto /lib/firmware/ueagle-atm + doins * || die "doins firmware failed" + + # Documentation necessary to complete the setup + dodoc "${FILESDIR}/README" || die "dodoc failed" +} + +pkg_postinst() { + # Check kernel configuration + local CONFIG_CHECK="~FW_LOADER ~NET ~PACKET ~ATM ~NETDEVICES ~USB_DEVICEFS ~USB_ATM ~USB_UEAGLEATM \ + ~PPP ~PPPOATM ~PPPOE ~ATM_BR2684" + local WARNING_PPPOATM="CONFIG_PPPOATM:\t is not set (required for PPPoA links)" + local WARNING_PPPOE="CONFIG_PPPOE:\t is not set (required for PPPoE links)" + local WARNING_ATM_BR2684="CONFIG_ATM_BR2684:\t is not set (required for PPPoE links)" + check_extra_config + echo + + # Check user-space for PPPoA support + if ! built_with_use net-dialup/ppp atm ; then + ewarn "Run the following command if connecting via PPPoA protocol:" + ewarn " euse -E atm && emerge net-dialup/ppp" + echo + fi + # Check user-space for PPPoE support + if ! has_version net-misc/br2684ctl ; then + ewarn "Run the following command if connecting via PPPoE protocol:" + ewarn " emerge net-misc/br2684ctl" + echo + fi + + ewarn "To complete the installation, you must read the documentation in" + ewarn " ${ROOT}usr/share/doc/${PF}" +} |
