Before we start Anything : You are going to HAVE to use version 0.5.1

It uses TrayIcon instead of PyTracyIcon, this means it works on PPC

Firstly your going to have make sure you have PYTHON installed

Version 2.4 or 2.5 is best

So when you type

which python

you should get

/usr/bin/python

next

python --version

should return something like this

Python 2.5.1

next you need to try to start the Manager

if you have version 5.1 or earlier

cd /usr/share/usbadslmodemmanager/

5.2 and later

/usr/bin/usbadslmodemmanager

then

python USBAdslModemManager.py

should start it

Now if you get a Tray icon your in business

what wont work is the firmware extraction on PPC so what to do is get hold of a i386 Ubuntu Live CD

  • Boot from a LIVE CD
  • Install i386 DEB
  • Start Manager
  • Plug IN modem
  • Extract files

Now copy the files to a USB pen or CD

/lib/firmware/speedtouch-1.bin
/lib/firmware/speedtouch-2.bin

Then put them in the same place (as root) on your PPC box

Now when you reboot, the PPC should load the frimware for the modem

you can see this by typing

dmesg

and reading whats happened

now restart the Manager (on command line)

Its should all work!
