USB Speedtouch modem doesn't initialize

[Dovydas Sankauskas]

I have notebook with default installation of Fedora 4 and braodband via USB
Thomson Speedtouch 330 modem. I did everything as I was told by this site
www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/fedora/<http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/fedora/>.
I downloaded firmware, put this line into /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

'username at isp' * 'password'

and created file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0


PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=xDSL
DEVICE=ppp0
BOOTPROTO=dialup
PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoa-adsl.pid
LCP_FAILURE=86400
LCP_INTERVAL=1
CONNECT_POLL=6
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=604800
SYNCHRONOUS=no
DEFROUTE=yes
USER='username at isp'
VPI=0
VCI=38
LINUX_PLUGIN=pppoatm.so
DEMAND=yes



I JUST REBOOTED AND EVERYTHING WORKED JUST FINE!

But now I have two more computers at home and they need internet as well. I
bought cheap P2 350 for router, installed the same FC4 from the same CDs.
Did all the same steps as I did with my notebook. But I have not the same
results.

On boot time during ppp0 initialization I get message

does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED]



And there is all relevant output in /var/log/messages I have

Oct 12 16:43:33 octopus kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found

While on my notebook, which works just fine, I get much more output on
/var/log/messages:

Can anyone give me a clue what is wrong with my FC4 router?
