[OpenWrt-Devel] lantiq DSL drivers / firmware info

Hi Johannes,

Like I previously said: there's probably something wrong at my end.
I have the Annex A version of the TD-W8970 and I am trying to use it with
my Annex B ADSL connection (for the record: I am not using a splitter).
While trying to connect the dsl_cpe_control tool reports:
"Wrong combination of DSL PHY Firmware and hybrid type used! Please
change one of it."
So either my configuration is still incorrect or the modem is somehow
(probably a hardware configuration, maybe via a resistor) configured to
enforce a different hybrid or Annex type (this is pure speculation though).

I am interested in your test results, even though it's purely academic :-).

Someone else has tested the new driver in the meantime (using Annex A,
no VDSL): [0]
It seems that the modem syncs and is even able to connect (as far as I
understand with some manual steps), but after a few minutes the connection
drops.

Martin
