[Bug 23040] Re: Modem sagem 800 doesn't work.

[saepia]

To solve this problem in Ubuntu 5.10, you should

1. Install all necessary utils for compiling programs (gcc-3.4!)
2. Download driver from http://download.gna.org/eagleusb/eagle-usb-2.3.0/eagle-usb-2.3.3.tar.bz2
3. cd /usr/bin
3. rm gcc
4. ln -s gcc-3.4 gcc
5. Unpack driver somewhere
6. cd driver directory
7. ./configure
8. make
9. make install
10. plug modem
11. eagleconfig
12. wait for a while (eaglestat should report that modem is operational)
13. startadsl

Problem generally lies in gcc version. Default ubuntu kernel is compiled with gcc-3.4, but default gcc ver in ubuntu 5.10 is gcc-4.0. Recompiling with proper gcc version solves that problem. In my opinion, there's should be official packages compiled with gcc-3.4 in ubuntu repository. There are really MANY users (e.g in Poland where 2 major ISPs uses Sagem Fast 800) which have problem with it.

If I would make packages, how I can sumbit it to ubuntu? If you are interested in making official package, please contact me at marcin (at) saepia (dot) net
