Speedtouch 330 USB

[sauny]

Good evening all,

I am having a few problems getting my speedtouch 330 USB modem to work under FC7. I have installed all of the firmware drivers and my system knows that it has a modem as shown below:

[root@xxxxx ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 06b9:4061 Alcatel Telecom SpeedTouch ISDN or ADSL Modem


Unfortunately when I set up my connection using ifcfg-ppp0 it tries to use eth0 instead of my modem and I don't know how to force it to use the modem instead! Any ideas? My ifcfg-ppp0 is shown below:

[root@xxxxx ~]# cat ifcfg-ppp0
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=xDSL
DEVICE=ppp0
BOOTPROTO=dialup
PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid
BR2684DEV=0
CONNECT_POLL=6
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=300
SYNCHRONOUS=no
DEFROUTE=yes
LCP_INTERVAL=10
LCP_FAILURE=2
USER='xxxx@xxxxxxx'
VPI=0
VCI=38
LINUX_PLUGIN=rp-ppoe.so

Guys do not panic... just found the adsl-start command.... didn't know it existed... ran that and all seemed to work perfectly first time.... I'm well impressed!
