Journal: Kingston Communications Karoo ADSL & Linux

Home ADSL networking
======================

I'm sure someone will need this...

Server is cyrixpr200+ @ 150mhz with 48mb mem and 2gig HDD.

Linux Itex PCI ADSL MODEM driver for 2.4.16 appears to work for 2.4.19. The card has an apollo 3 chipset. Line to be enabled tomorrow. ATM compiled OK, ipv6 broken as module, possibly after applying patch.

Manual excellent, terrible troubleshooting section tho. Assumes full kernel recompilation (was not necessary). Downloads not available, got drivers from ADSL card CD.

Karoo settings are 50/1 @ 512/128kbps. Let's hope this thing will work.

Queuing is HTB/SFQ. HTB patched manually into kernel config for 2.4.19. Expected to be in future releases of 2.4 tree. Tested, works.

2.5 kernel has faulty VM (ask Linus), bombs on high bandwidth FTP transfers, not tested.
