PPC Guide Here
From Usb-adsl-modem-manager
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!
