SpeedTouch 330 modem firmware uploading problem :|

HELLO,

I've got a big problem with Thomson/Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 modem.

Generally, there is a problem with firmware uploading.
The modem is silver, and according to /proc/bus/usb/devices its revision
is 4.00 so the right firmware is in ZZZL_3.012 file in
SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip.

I tried to use speedbundle package from
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch. Installation went OK, but
when the /etc/hotplub/usb/speedtch script (called by hotplug machinery)
starts modem_run it fails to upload the firmware.
Logged error messages:

May 14 17:37:38 gnat modem_run[2103]: BLOCK1
May 14 17:37:40 gnat kernel: usb 1-2: modem_run timed out on ep5in
May 14 17:37:40 gnat kernel: usb 1-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed ep
0x85 len 512 ret -110
May 14 17:37:42 gnat kernel: usb 1-2: modem_run timed out on ep5out
May 14 17:37:42 gnat kernel: usb 1-2: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed ep 0x5
len 935 ret -110
May 14 17:37:42 gnat modem_run[2103]: BLOCK1

This is repeated a few times, then the modem_run fails (return code!=0).
This is log output from 2.6.11.9 kernel, but 2.4.30 generates very
similar messages.
The same problem exists when I try to invoke modem_run manually.

The modem is detected by OS correctly, output from lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 06b9:4061 Alcatel Telecom Speed Touch ISDN or
ADSL Modem

What's more, the modem works alright in windows :|
Does anybody know a solution? Help !!

Cheers
AD

I spent hours working this one out and I realised I had forgotten to create a
/sys directory and mount it. You probably have forgotten your /proc/bus/usb
too. Create /sys and add the following to your /etc/fstab:

-------- relevant chunk of my /etc/fstab --------
# system file systems:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=256M,nosuid,nodev 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
--------

Have fun

Alex
