Dear Friends,
i have a 9980B with latest LEDE 17.01.04 and i have problems to change the firmware for vdsl modem with vectoring support for german vodafone (100mbit) line.
i find the firmware here https://xdarklight.github.io/lantiq-xdsl-firmware-info/
but when i copy it to usb to copy it to /lib/firmware i cant see the usb drive...
can somebody help me please my linux kung fu is at end point 
Just use scp, to copy the file over your LAN.
ok now is it overwritten. But no connection to isp everything is at 0.Please can somebody tel me what i exactly to configure. This so crazy hard to configure.
in the list of types is not 993.5 is this correct?
Please help.
Make sure to specify the firmware file (and path) in the network configuration, for example:
config dsl 'dsl'
[...]
option firmware '/lib/firmware/xcpe_579517_573F01.bin'
ok thank you... i test it tomorrow. Can you tell me the path for the config file please?
That would be /etc/config/network
must i fill out the isp data to connect establish the vdsl sync?
No, it should synchronize even with missing/wrong credentials.
Hi Takimata,
i think the sync is done 
thx but i have no internet 
must i configure openwrt? routing,bridging or something else? i read that i must make a vlan but this is not relevant for dslmodem only for router-only right?
PPPOE ist filled with the correct data but i chance nothing from config. My line is a Vodafone VDSL 100 from
germany. Sorry for my really BAD english

On which interface is pppoe running? To use my VDSL line I have to use ptm0.34.
The 'xfer_mode' is ptm
config dsl 'dsl'
[...]
option xfer_mode 'ptm'In germany you typically need vlan tag 7.
Hey Mijzelf,
me the same config... here
VLAN explained with default scenario of most LEDE routers
in this example table you can see WAN port but in my gui isnt a WAN port,
only this
CPU (eth0) LAN 1 LAN 2 LAN 3 LAN 4
and you choose only 'OFF' and 'tagged' no untagged
here my network config
root@LEDE:~# cat /etc/config/network
config interface 'loopback'

no chance... cant connect to isp
Use only ptm0.7 here; remove ptm0 and the bridge.
This VLAN definition could be part of setting up your device as a simple VDSL Modem. Otherwise, it is not needed.
Done. But same result... no connection 
Please login to the device with putty or ssh, run the following commands and post their output.
brctl show
ip link ls dev ptm0.7
You could also try rebooting or power-cycling the device.
I find the problem... Login data was incomplete
It's working now but the modem ist sooooo slow
Sync is at 100k but downloadspeed with cable
Is 50k. Starting at 68k and pendling to 50k.
With the fritzbox 7430 is this 90-93k.
Only one question is this a config problem or is this a firmware problem or hardware to old or broken?
Any idea...?
