Is anyone getting over 60kB/s when using Linux with NeoConnect Prime?

Ubuntu8.04

Cool everybody, I just got mine sorted. I can now use my gnome-ppp without having to unplug my neotel device each time I drop the connection. I just connected and disconnected a couple of time to confirm it work.

Here is my readme I used:
Code: 
As root:
    $ apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source build-essentials
    $ cd /usr/src
    $ tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.24
    $ cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial
    $ vi option.c  

    Now add: Line 125

        // +++ chrisb 2008-10-24
        #define NEOTEL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID             0x1d09
        #define NEOTEL_DEVICE_PRODUCT_ID            0x4000
        // +++

        static struct usb_device_id option_ids[] = {

               { USB_DEVICE(NEOTEL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID, NEOTEL_DEVICE_PRODUCT_ID) },

    To compile:

     $  make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

             make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic'
               LD      /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/built-in.o
               CC [M]  /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.o
               CC [M]  /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/generic.o
               CC [M]  /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/bus.o
             ....
             make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic'

    Now move the drivers:

   $ cp option.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko

    You also need to load the new option

    $ vi /etc/modules

    And just add to the bottom of the list: 

        option

    Now Reboot or reload the "option" module


UPDATE: I just ran neotel speed test and my download speeds are awesome: http://speedtest.neotel.co.za/

Download Speed: 946 kbps (118.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 46 kbps (5.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Gnome....? PPP......? It's one of those dwarfs with the green hats that you breed in the garden...?:D
I'm not to sure if gaming is all that keeps me from moving to the dark side....:D
 
vi vi vi the number of the beast

Prefer emacs (or even nano) over vi but I'm so use to writing readmes for work where use none-vi users are in the minority.

But on the driver patch, I have seen that my downloads are far better (up to 1500 kbps) - the best I get is 3 bars on my deivce. Will wait for Intrepid to see if their is native support else I will post on Launchpad a request to include it.

Yes apologies to all on the vi oops. So nice to get flamed for using this incompetent excuse of an editor.

I'm not flaming...just voicing my opinions. I really don't understand why vi exists. Using it is like feeding a cat through mangler: Extremely difficult as the cat puts up a terrible fight, and all you get or your troubles is covered in blood and bits of cat...and don't even get me started on the noi- wait...where was I going with this analogy?
 
vi, Emacs? Anybody uses gedit, Win32 users will love it during their journey into 64 bit world of Linux.

I actually really enjoy using gedit. Problem is you do at some points need a command line editor as well though, not everyone uses gdm with every login.

By the way I think we are hijacking this thread. Lets stay on topic.
 
Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)

I tried the code with Ubuntu 8.10 and it worked great (with some modifications for the version and the tar file that it gets with "build essential"). I am getting about 192KB/s on it - almost as good as the speeds on XP. Now if only I could find a good download manager :D

thanks!

Just compiled mine as per my readme on Ubuntu8.10 after I did an upgrade - work perfect. If you guys find any issues with your distros, please post what you did as it would help a lot of others that are new to the scene.
 
I switched to this configuration this morning. I was getting 400kbps-50kbps using modprobe. Now I get 147kbps and 30kbps. Did you need to modify the pppconfig file, especially regarding speed? If I set it to anything above 115200, it just hangs. thanks!
