Okay I finally got it working, the 630-C1 is a conexant chipset which
uses accessrunner driver instead of the amedyn driver for the 630-11.
Here's the procedure I used to get it working, in case anyone else is
trying to use this modem with Linux:
Zyxel Prestige 630-C1 (Conexant chipset different to that of 630-11)
Get driver off http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/accessrunnner (I
used the one versioned "update to latest kernels").
Download kernel patch.
For kernel 2.6.1 - 2.6.5 -
http://www.zullinux.it/linux/patch-upto_2.6.5_20040517_accessrunner.gz
For kernel 2.6.6 -
http://www.zullinux.it/linux/patch-2.6.6_20040517_accessrunner.gz
Download modified scripts
http://www.zullinux.it/linux/modified_scripts.tgz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Kernel config section)
Install the kernel source for your particular distribution.
(I use mandrake 10.0 official, got updated kernel 2.6.6 source from
http://rapsys.free.fr )
patch the kernel
cd /usr/src/linux
gunzip patch-2.6.6_20040517_accessrunner.gz |patch -p1
The Prestige 630-C1 isn't directly recognised by this driver so you
will need to modify the driver slightly:
Open up /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/misc/speedtch.c
Locate
#define CXACRU_VENDORID5 0x0572 /* Vendor = Conexant */
#define CXACRU_PRODUCTID5 0xcb00 /* Product = ADSL
modem (Hasbani project) */
Change it to read
#define CXACRU_VENDORID5 0x0586
#define CXACRU_PRODUCTID5 0x330a
(To double check these values look at /proc/bus/usb/devices after
plugging in modem).
Open up kernel configurator (make menuconfig/make xconfig/make gconfig)
Go to section
Device Driver -> Networking Support -> Networking Options -> ....
<M> Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> Classical IP over ATM (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Do NOT send ICMP if no neighbour (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> LAN Emulation (LANE) support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols
[*] Per-VC IP filter kludge
Device Driver -> USB Support ->
<M> Support for USB
.... (go near the end of the page)
<M>Alcatel Speedtouch USB support (NEW)
Save
make
make modules_install
make install
Boot using new kernel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and install user space programs as directed by the
instructions for Zyxel 630-11 :
* rp-pppoe a handy pppoe user space implementation
* libusb, required to compile amedyn
* linux-atm, required to compile amedyn
These should all be available on Mandrake through urpmi/rpmdrake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Untar cxacru.tar.gz
Edit file cxacru/init/cxload.c
Below lines
else if (vid == 0x1803 && pid == 0x5510)
return 6;
add
else if (vid == 0x0586 && pid == 0x330a)
return 5;
Edit file cxacru/init/cxiotcl.c
Again below lines
else if (vid == 0x1803 && pid == 0x5510)
return 6;
add
else if (vid == 0x0586 && pid == 0x330a)
return 5;
In cxacru directory, change to root user and type "make". This does
both "make" and "make install"
steps.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Untar modified_scripts.tar.gz
Replace the scripts cxload.sh and cxunload.sh in /usr/sbin with these scripts
Edit file /etc/cxacru
It reads as following on my system:
# Driver mode
DRIVER_MODE=1 # 1 = normal, 2 = debug, 3 = normal+max speed (without
ask adsl status), 4 = debug+max speed (without ask adsl status)
# Protocol
PROTOCOL_MODE=4 # 1 = RFC1483/2684 routed, 2 = PPP over ATM (pppoa),
3 = RFC1483/2684 bridged, 4 = PPP over Ethernet (pppoe)
# Paths

ATM_PATH=""
# ADSL
# if OPEN_MODE is blank then cxload uses default mode acoording VID & PID
# Values for OPEN_MODE are:
# 0 = auto selection, G.Handshake
# 1 = auto selection, T1.413
# 2 = G.Handshake
# 3 = ANSI T1.413

# 5 = ITU-T G.992.2 (G.LITE)
OPEN_MODE=

Run adsl-setup
>>> Enter your PPPoE user name (default ***): csxxxxxx at adsl.utvinternet.ie
>>> Enter the Ethernet interface connected to the ADSL modem
For Solaris, this is likely to be something like /dev/hme0.
For Linux, it will be ethn, where 'n' is a number.
(default eth0): nas0
This interface is created for you
Do you want the link to come up on demand, or stay up continuously?
If you want it to come up on demand, enter the idle time in seconds
after which the link should be dropped. If you want the link to
stay up permanently, enter 'no' (two letters, lower-case.)
NOTE: Demand-activated links do not interact well with dynamic IP
addresses. You may have some problems with demand-activated links.
>>> Enter the demand value (default no): no
Please enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server.
If your ISP claims that 'the server will provide DNS addresses',
enter 'server' (all lower-case) here.
If you just press enter, I will assume you know what you are
doing and not modify your DNS setup.
>>> Enter the DNS information here: server
PASSWORD
>>> Please enter your PPPoE password: your-secret-you-got-from-iolbb
The firewall choices are:
0 - NONE: This script will not set any firewall rules. You are responsible
for ensuring the security of your machine. You are STRONGLY
recommended to use some kind of firewall rules.
1 - STANDALONE: Appropriate for a basic stand-alone web-surfing workstation
2 - MASQUERADE: Appropriate for a machine acting as an Internet gateway
for a LAN
>>> Choose a type of firewall (0-2): 1
>>> Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)? y
You should be able to run cxstart.sh now to start your modem.
