Eagle-usb-2.0.0
Release date : 7th November 2004
Latest development version is always available on page
TestEagleUs (give it a look to download cvs version)
See
list of supported modems (interwiki)
Notes
- Please give a try to eagleconnect :
- a graphical interface to connect to internet for any user (your wife/husband, children...)
- uses sudo to avoid having to log as root
- Packages tcl & tclx (extensions) are required
- Feedback is welcome.
- In case of problem our user support forum is available (in english), have a look to FaqEagle before ;-)
- there are latest bnm files from sagem included : they work perfectly for my fast 800. In case of a problem with synchronization, just revert to the previous ones you have
- .deb, ebuild and rpm packages are being prepared
- we need more translations and updates for current ones : you're welcome (interwiki) (that's only for a short list of messages used at installation)
Download
The tar.bz2 is available for download :
Other documentations : for
Gentoo and
DocDebian
Install
As usual for the tar.bz2 :
./configure
make uninstall # if you've got an already installed version
make clean # just in case you compiled before with another kernel
make
make install
eagleconfig
startadsl
Verify that values for OPTNxx in
/etc/eagle-usb/eagle-usb.conf have changed (see file eagle-usb.conf.template under /etc/eagle-usb/). Report any problem with synchronization (modem staying "Booting" or "initializing") on the
forum (register to get forum in your language and get warned by mails when there's an answer).
To start, you will need :
- kernel-source : take the same version as the one given for your kernel by uname -r, you'll then have a link /usr/src/linux to your kernel-source
- gcc : be sure - mostly on Debian ;-) - to take the one used for your kernel, just compare cat /proc/version ; gcc -v (have a look at FaqDiag (interwiki) for more details)
- be sure to have bash and gawk as well, and make and lsusb
- packages bc, automake and autoconf may be required (it will complain automatically about aclocal missing - if it's the case - at compilation, take latest versions)
Changelog
Here is the
complete changelog
Improvements
- OPTNxx modified to work better with Fast 800 E2L (that would stay initializing otherwise :-( )
- patch to make it work for AMD64 (should still work for PPC)
- updated ISP list (BenoitAudouard)
- update polish (Lubek)
- man pages are available (+ html)
- it can work with Fast 800 E3 (based on Eagle-Usb III chipset) : see Faq:InfoCMVEn (interwiki) and you'll need new DSP code
Todo
- finish translations (you're welcome (interwiki))
- update documentation : Faq + readme (less light version)
- test CMV files using CMV_USE=1 make
Not applied yet: (should be ?)
- update AC_INIT (PatriceDumas?) => require autoconf 2.5!
- change rpmbuild calls (PatriceDumas) => tests to be done
- RPM -iUv should remove old drivers?
- on Mdk 10.1, eagleconfig shoud need to be able to use ppp1 (eg when a 56k modem is already on ppp0)
Known Bugs
- some Oops at rmmod eagle-usb
- if your download rate is too small (reduced by 10 for example) : comment the line (adding a # at the beginning) with OPTN1= in /etc/eagle-usb/eagle-usb.conf
- see FeedBack200
