Introduction
This document explains how to set up a DSL broadband connection for people living in the UK using a Thomson Speedtouch 330 USB modem. The instructions below assume that you have physically connected the modem correctly.
Instructions
Ideally, install the package speedtouch from the universe repository]. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowToAccessTheUniverseRepository
Of course, chances are you aren't online yet, so that wont work. You'll need to get the files and install them manually from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/speedtouch/
Download the GNU/Linux firmware from [http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm].
Create a directory called /usr/local/lib/speedtouch.
Unpack the zip, and put the file ZZZL_3.012 in the above directory.
- Copy the /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/examples/peers-pppoa file to /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
- Edit /etc/ppp/peers/adsl to include the username given to you by your ISP and the following vpi and vci codes: -vpi 0 -vci 38
Update the pap-secrets and chap-secrets in /etc/ppp with the username and password provided by your ISP by adding a line to each in this format: "USERNAME" "*" "PASSWORD" "*"
- Create a file /etc/default/speedtouch that says PPPD_PEER="adsl"
- Append the line "speedtch" to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file. This excludes the kernel technique of handling your modem. If you do not do this then the kernel technique will conflict with the userland technique described here (this results in the error message "pusb_claim_interface 1 failed", which we don't want!).
- When the computer sees the modem (when the computer boots up, or when the USB lead is plugged into the computer), it should set up the connection.
Credits
I got most of the information from [http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ Linux USB (SpeedTouch)], especially the [http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/docs/sargehowto.html Debian install page].
- See /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/README.Debian for more information about the driver.

Alternatively, you can run speedtouch-setup, which does (I think) all of that for you 
You still have to know the vci/vpi codes, but I had it going first time after running that.

There is no reason to prefer the user space driver. If the speedtouch package is derived from the debian one then the hotplug script is smart enough to detect that the kernel driver has been loaded and will automatically do what it needs to do in this situation. Also, on kernels >= 2.6.10 the kernel driver can load the firmware files by itself (but not in the form described in this page) and no other packages are needed. http://people.debian.org/~md/ points to the right place.
