Hi

Here are the steps i've followed in trying to install the eci adsl driver on my NetBSD 1.6.2

I/ When installing my OS (NetBSD 1.6.2) i downloaded and installed all the available packages on my computer (don't worry i've got enough space for that :);) ). i've changed the shell to /usr/pkg/bin/bash.

II/ Then i followed all the steps from the documentation .
i/ Every thing went fine before i began compiling the driver .
At that moment i got the bloody error.
gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall -W -I/usr/local/include -c -o eci-load1.o eci-load1.c
eci-load1.c: In function `main':
eci-load1.c:415: warning: implicit declaration of function `basename'
eci-load1.c:415: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall -W -I/usr/local/include -c -o util.o util.c
gcc -lpthread eci-load1.o util.o -L/usr/local/lib -lpusb -o eci-load1
ld: cannot find -lpthread
gmake: *** [eci-load1] Error 1

ii/ Looking for solution, i read BENOIT Papillault advising us to run a gmake clean; rm *.o then run ./configure

Here are the logs i got

bash-2.05b# gmake clean; rm *.o
rm -f eci-load1 eci-load2 pppoeci check-hdlc check-hdlc-bug *.o core

bash-2.05b# gmake eci-load1 eci-load2 pppoeci

iii/ then i edited the Makefile and changed the line 29 from LDLIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lpusb to
LDLIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/pkg/pthreads/lib -lpusb

Then i re-ran the following commands ...

bash-2.05b# gmake clean; rm *.o
rm -f eci-load1 eci-load2 pppoeci check-hdlc check-hdlc-bug *.o core
rm: *.o: No such file or directory

gmake: *** [semaphore.o] Error 1

iv / At this step i tried to change the line 28 of the Makefile (CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/include) but i did not succeed in compiling.
Then i edited semaphore.c file and commented the lines 24 and 32 so that the union semun can be declared.

then i re-ran
gmake clean; rm *.o
gmake eci-load1 eci-load2 pppoeci

then i succeeded in compiling the driver. See the logs

At this moment, i was happy thinking every would be fine .
Then i configured my ppp.conf and placed it in /etc/ppp

This command is running fine
./eci-load1 0x0547 0x2131 0x0915 0x8000 firmware00.bin

The second one did not finish its execution so i couldn't run the last one
./eci-load2 0x0915 0x8000 synch01.bin

I don't know what happened
The only thing i noticed it's that the green ligth of my modem stopped flashing but i didn't got the message saying eci-load2
