Eciadsl installation on Ubuntu 5.04
The Kernel: upgrade???
The kernel that comes with the 5.04 "hoary" version of Ubuntu Linux is 2.6.10-5-386. I did not need to upgrade the kernel.
Installation
Instead of using apt-get, I built the driver from source, from the http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php?lang=en Downloads page. This document will not cover the apt-get installation. Anyway, the installation went without any problems, but do remember to have the C (and C++???) compliers installed. you can use the Synaptic Package Manager to install them. Also, a source-built piect of software should run faster.
Usage
Just follow the documentation. You should use the windriver to create a synch .bin file. It will give you optimum results. Just follow the docs for the rest of the information.

EciAdsl installation on Ubuntu 4.10
Ubuntu distro is coming with 2.6.8.1-3-386 kernel, and even after upgrade with sources, we have 2.6.8.1-4-386 kernel.
So we have to use a newer kernel for a stable connection.
I choosed hoary kernel (next Ubuntu kernel).
First I downloaded:
wget http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/dists/warty-backports-staging/main/binary-i386/initrd-tools_0.1.76ubuntu1~4.10ubp1_all.deb wget http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/dists/warty-backports-staging/main/binary-i386/linux-image-2.6.10-2-386_2.6.10-11_i386.deb
and (as root) I installed:
dpkg -i initrd-tools_0.1.76ubuntu1~4.10ubp1_all.deb dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.10-2-386_2.6.10-11_i386.deb
Then you have to reboot, and choose new kernel in bootloader (should be default choice).
Check that all is ok (sound, devices, ...) and issue
uname -a
to check kernel version.
Then restart old kernel to get needed programes to compile modem drivers.
I downloaded:
wget http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/dists/warty-backports-staging/main/binary-i386/linux-headers-2.6.10-2_2.6.10-11_i386.deb wget http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports/dists/warty-backports-staging/main/binary-i386/linux-headers-2.6.10-2-386_2.6.10-11_i386.deb
and installed:
dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.10-2_2.6.10-11_i386.deb dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.10-2-386_2.6.10-11_i386.deb
Reboot with new kernel, and install EciAdsl drivers.
