CHAPTER 8 GETTING EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING (Apache web server)
CHAPTER 8 GETTING EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING USB memory stick (see the Using a USB Memory Stick section later in this chapter). The SpeedTouch driver has two components, and you ll need to download both. Follow these steps to configure your modem (these instructions are adapted from a guide that you can find at http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/warty.html): 1. Download the first driver file by browsing to www.speedtouch.com/download/drivers/ USB/SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip in your browser. Place the downloaded file in your /home directory. 2. Visit http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ubuntu/modem_run. This will download the GPL component of the driver. Again, place the downloaded file in your /home directory. 3. If your ISP uses PPPoE, you ll also need to visit http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/ SpeedTouch/ubuntu/br2684ctl_20040226-1_i386.deb and download an additional file. Place it in your /home directory. 4. Because different drivers are used for each revision of the hardware, you will need to discover which version of the modem firmware you have. Open a GNOME Terminal window (Applications . Accessories . Terminal), and then type the following two lines, hitting the Enter key after each (the straight line is called a pipe symbol, which you can type by pressing Shift+): cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -B 1 THOMSON cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -B 1 ALCATEL In the results will be a line that reads, at the end, Rev=x, where x is the firmware version number. Make a note of it for later. 5. Make sure the files you downloaded earlier are in your /homedirectory, and then type the following in the GNOME Terminal window to copy the firmware files to your system directories (the ~ symbol can be found above the # key on UK keyboards and above the top-left key on US keyboards). Note that you ll need to type your login password when prompted. cd ~ unzip SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip If your modem uses firmware version 4, type the following sudo cp ZZZL_3.012 /etc/ppp/mgmt.o Otherwise, type the following: sudo cp KQD6_3.012 /etc/ppp/mgmt.o 6. Now you must copy the modem_run file you downloaded earlier to your system directories and make it executable: cd ~ sudo cp modem_run /usr/sbin sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/modem_run
