For that you need to compile the kernel module. > I'm trying to get this usb adsl modem to work > with the latest stable kernel. > I searched for this on the ML archive, and realized > that the kernel module should be used. > But I can't understand one thing (at least...) > which consequences does the new alcatel module > driver have on getting this modem to work? It works the same as the module in 2.4.22 and later. This module was originally only available outside the kernel tree (it can be found for example in the speedbundle on http://linux-usb.sf.net/SpeedTouch). Now that it is in the kernel tree it is pointless to compile it in the speedbundle (and it doesn't work right now for 2.6 kernels). Just turn it on in your kernel .config and recompile your kernel. > Does it override kernel setup described on > the speedbundle site, or not? Well, you still need to turn on ATM support etc, but there is no need to patch the kernel for example. > How should the kernel be compiled? With CONFIG_USB_SPEEDTOUCH=m at least. Ciao, Duncan.
