Alcatel Speedtouch USB Modem

[speed]

Hi.

I'm having a problem with a custom modification to the 1.9.2.7.3c Firmware.

The modification was to add support for the Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL Modem.

What is the problem:
1. I loaded up the 1.9.2.7.3c (Normal Firmware HOME BUILT on my system) and this allows me to have telnet access to the wl500g.

2. I load up the modifies 1.9.2.7.3cs (Speedtouch modified Software again built on my system) and even though the TELNET Port is Open and Accepts I can't authenticate with the user/password I previously used. EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO WORK FINE (except the authentication)

What Have I done:
a) Using the WEB Access : Changed both the use and password (restarting the system including a power off restart). NOTHING
b) Loaded a Previously saved configuration (with the correct password and user). NOTHING.
c) Downloaded the Configuration File from the WL500g, and verified the user and password (everything seems fine).

The only potential problem I see is the size of the uploaded firmware (which must also include the firmware for the modem).

Is there anyway to get back the TELNET Access so I can TEST if the FILES are THERE and if I CAN USE THE MODEM?

I can provide all the alterations and prebuilt firmwares, patches.

I forgot to mention the FIRMWARE SIZE (3.330.048 Bytes) I Disabled SAMBA and SSHD to cut down on the size, to see if this was a problem (SAME THING HAPPENED).

[Oleg]

Your firmware size is ok. Do you've anything in the system log?

[speed]

the last lines in the LOG occured after I tried telnet with user and passwd for admin (which worked on the web interface) but failed for telnet.

I know the firmware was loaded because I changed the version to 1.9.2.7.3cs, which shows up on the firmware version page.

Is there anyway to activate the sshd by default so that it is automatically active on firmware load?

[speed]

How is the passwd file created for the router?

In the target directory, there is no passwd file in the etc (or the link) but I saw using the standard 1.9.2.7-3c firmware telnet that it does exist.

So how is it created?

[Oleg]

This file is create automatically during the boot process.
Check gateway/rc/rc.c file.

Hi,

I modified to rc.fc file so as to fix the user/password that was used, and I still failed.

I then modified the busybox / login.c, so that even if the login failed, I would still get access, unfortunately the only thing that did was, that I no longer get the Failed Login Message, and the telnet session simply terminates with no explanation.

I will post later on the gateway/install/speedtouch directory, so that maybe you can try building the kernel to test if you have telnet access

[speed]

I have anexed the speedtouch compiled (from slightly modified makefiles of speedtouch 1.3.1) files (that I use in the PLATFORMDIR/install directory) to build the custom kernel.

Would it possible for you to see if the custom 1.9.2.7.3c firmware with this pack added allows telnet access?
