How to install Ubuntu Driver for modem Nortek lanJET (tutorial for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn)
italian version: http://thio4linux.wordpress.com/2007/10/08/pppoe-nortek-jet-adsl-su-ubuntu/
1- Connect your modem at the usb port
2- Type lsusb in your shell: your output must be something like this:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0915:8102 GlobeSpan, Inc. (Globespan is the name of the chipset of your modem)
3- Download from http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/beta/ the file eciadsl-usermode-0.11-synch-patch.tar.bz2
4- then type in your shell: sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
5- Download the pppoe package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/pppoe
and te Build-essential package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/devel/build-essential
6- Extract eciadsl-usermode-0.11-synch-patch.tar.bz2 package (right mouse click -> Extract). Then open the terminal and enter in the folder that you’ve just created. Type: ./configure
make
sudo make install
7- Extract eciadsl-synch_bin.tar.bz2 wherever you want and enter in the new folder. Type:
sudo cp *.bin /etc/eciadsl/
8- Now start the real configuration of your modem. Type:
sudo eciadsl-config-text
now you have to select:
-configure all settings
-id name of the internet connection
-number of your provider
-DNS (you can leave the default number)
-VPI and VCI number
-select the number of your Nortek Modem
-leave VDI1, PDI1, VDI2, PDI2 at their default value
-select the chipset GS7470 or GS7070, the ALT INTERFACE for SYNCH and for PPPOECI (check those number here http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/modems.php)
-select VCM_RFC2364
-press ENTER and if all is ok type in in your terminal: sudo eciadsl-start and you will run the program. The connection is done in 5 phases, but the most important are the synchronization and the connection to the provider. When you have success in this 2 phases the connection must be established. At the end of eciadsl-config-text the program create the configuration file eciadsl.conf in /etc/eciadsl/.
According to me the best synchronization value with this modem is
SYNCH=gs7470_synch04
chipset=GS7470
SYNCH_ALTIFACE=5
PPPOECI_ALTIFACE=1
all the other value depends on your internet connection.
