SmoothWall and SpeedTouch from new

Assuming you are starting from scratch there is a problem.

SmoothWall will support the modem from 2.0 fixes 3 onward, but you can't get SmoothWall to apply the patches until it has read the patch list off the Internet and it can't read the patch list off the Internet until the modem works. So there are ~~two~~ three solutions, I prefer ~~(2)~~ (3).

(1) Apply the fixes first, load the firmware, fix one file

Build SmoothWall from the iso file.

Fix the patch list. This involves changing the file called /var/smoothwall/patches/available so that it contains

On the Web Interface, Go to the Maintenance / Updates and using the "Info" links, download fixes 1,2,3 to the PC you will use to manage SmoothWall.

Apply fixes 1,2,3

Now download ~~ZZZlboth.eni from my site~~ SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip from http://www.speedtouch.com/support.htm and extract ZZZL_3.012 onto the PC you use to manage SmoothWall and then using the web interface go to maintenance / alcatel speedtouch usb adsl firmware upload page and put this in as the firmware. You do not need to change its name.

Finally on SmoothWall in /etc/ppp/ppp-on , after sub doadsldialalcatel , using vi or joe change
my @pppoacommand = ('/usr/local/bin/pppoa3','-vpi',$adslsettings{'VPI'},'-vci',$adslsettings{'VCI'});
to
my @pppoacommand = ('/usr/local/bin/pppoa3','-vpi',$adslsettings{'VPI'},'-vci',$adslsettings{'VCI'},'-e','1');
reboot SmoothWall again and all should work.

(2) Fix the broken files (12_modem_run, 12_pppoa3, /etc/ppp/ppp-on ), load the firmware (ZZZlboth.eni ZZZL_3.012), apply the fixes.

Build SmoothWall from the iso file.

Download puTTY and winSCP from the web and set them up to work with your smoothie. - You need to be able to enter commands, edit files on smoothie and FTP files to it

Download SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip from http://www.speedtouch.com/support.htm and extract ZZZL_3.012 onto the PC you will use to manage SmoothWall.
Download ~~ZZZlboth.eni,~~ 12_modem_run, 12_pppoa3 from my site

Using the web interface go to maintenance / alcatel speedtouch usb adsl firmware upload page and put ZZZL_3.012 in as the firmware. You do not need to change its name.

Using winSCP copy 12_modem_run and 12_pppoa3 to /usr/local/bin keeping the same names.

Press the disconnect button on the web interface control page to drop the adsl connection completely and free up pppoa3 or you won't be able to replace it, and then using a PuTTY or Tools/Shell session on SmoothWall.....

cd /usr/local/bin
chown :nobody 12_pppoa3
chmod --reference modem_run 12_modem_run
chmod --reference pppoa3 12_pppoa3
cp pppoa3 old_pppoa3
cp modem_run old_modem_run
cp 12_pppoa3 pppoa3
cp 12_modem_run modem_run

Using vi or joe to edit /etc/ppp/ppp-on , after sub doadsldialalcatel, change
my @pppoacommand = ('/usr/local/bin/pppoa3','-vpi',$adslsettings{'VPI'},'-vci',$adslsettings{'VCI'});
to
my @pppoacommand = ('/usr/local/bin/pppoa3','-vpi',$adslsettings{'VPI'},'-vci',$adslsettings{'VCI'},'-e','1');

Then press the reboot button on the maintenance / shutdown page to reboot smoothie and run with the new versions.

If the modem is connected via a powered hub, then you will need to disconnect the usb cable to power down the modem and allow the firmware to load.

Look in /var/log/messages for errors.

Once you have a working connection you can load and apply fixes 1,2,3,4 and you will then be on the official versions of the software.

(3) Use a version of SmoothWall with the fixes pre-installed.

There is a homebrew version of the iso with fixes 1 to 6 7 already installed - see this thread http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12229

Hope that helps.
