!!!Turbocomm IA310 HOWTO ----- !!Hardware Requirements: * Turbocomm IA310 Internal ADSL Modem * Spare PCI slot !!Software Requirements: * Kernel 2.4.2 or 2.4.16+ * PPP-2.4.x compiled with [LinuxPPPoA] support !!Optional Software: * linux atm packages (atm-tools deb in Debian) - I do not know if this is necessary or not - need to double check. The driver for the IA310 is not in the kernel source, and is not distributed as source code. The best place I found for drivers is [http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/software/other/Default.htm]. !!My Setup: * Debian 3.0 (Woody/Stable) * Linux Kernel 2.4.19 * ppp 2.4.0b1 !!Kernel Requirements: !Code Maturity Level Options * Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers [[Y] !Networking Options * Packet Socket [[Y] * Packet Socket: mmapped IO [[Y] * Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (EXPERIMENTAL) [[Y] * RFC 1483/2684 Bridged protocols [[Y] !Network Device Support * PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Support [[Y] * PPP Deflate Compression [[Y] * PPP Over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL) [[Y] * PPP Over ATM (EXPERIMENTAL) [[Y] Once You have restarted with the new kernel, it's time to install the binary module. The tarball I downloaded was Kernel-2.4.16.tar.gz. It has a few files, however the only ones you need are: Kernel-2.4.16/2684-PPPoA-PPPoE/2684-PPPoA-PPPoE-User-Guide.pdf%%% Kernel-2.4.16/2684-PPPoA-PPPoE/itex1577-2.4.16.o%%% I decided the best place to put the driver was in /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/drivers. As the module is not compiled for the correct kernel version, you have to force the module to be loaded. insmod -f itex1577-2.4.16 You should see the following in your messages logfile: Jan 27 16:23:28 dbx-akl-1 kernel: itexadsl: version= 2.2.7.ITEXPC86.0005 , built date= Thu Feb 7 11:16:17 PST 2002 Jan 27 16:23:28 dbx-akl-1 kernel: itexadsl: card# 0, ix=0x0, bus=0x0, fn=0x78, ven=0x1471, dev=0x188 Jan 27 16:23:28 dbx-akl-1 kernel: itexadsl: total 1 card(s) found.

At this point, the driver has loaded and is waiting for pppd to be started. I attempted to find ppp-2.4.1 with [LinuxPPPoA] support, but this proved to be an impossibility. I found a patch to ppp-2.4.0 and attempted to port it to ppp-2.4.1, but failed. The version of ppp I ended up using was ppp-2.4.0b1. mattb has created a Debian package of the latest pppd with PPPoA support - see the [LinuxPPPoA] page for details. The last thing that needed to be done was setup the relevant ppp files. /etc/ppp/options # Standard Options lock crtscts hide-password modem lcp-echo-interval 60 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx noauth defaultroute # This commented out as I use my own DNS server #usepeerdns proxyarp asyncmap 0 # If connection dies, reconnect persist name yourusername@yourisp user yourusername@yourisp # Required for PPPoA Support plugin /usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoatm.so # VPI/VCI - these are for NZ 0.100 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets # Username Provider Password yourusername@yourisp * yourpassword The * means that this password will be used for all connections where the username is yourusername@yourisp. Next? Start pppd from the command line, and all things going well, boom shanka, you will have the following appear in your messages log: Jan 27 16:23:45 dbx-akl-1 kernel: itex_open: opening vpi.vci 0.100 on 0 NIC card Jan 27 16:23:45 dbx-akl-1 kernel: itex_open: target cell rate (UBR) = 0 0 0 on 0 NIC card.
