Let's try to sort that out.
There are two drivers available for the speedtouch modem. All the details are here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html Basically there is the driver you mention in {2] and which requires kernel patching but supports apparently both PPPoE and PPPoA and there is B Papillaud driver which does not require kernel patching but which supports originally only PPPoA. This is the one I compiled for LEAF http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net Very recently an hack was proposed to include PPPoE to Papillaud driver: http://www.prout.be/ECI/speedtouch.html So I have updated my speedtch.lrp package to upgrade it to 1.1 (used to be 1.1-rc2) and added a speedtch-pppoe.lrp (to be renamed speedtch.lrp) with the above mentionned patch. Check: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/contrib/drivers/speedtouch-usb/ You could give it a try and let us know ?? Caveats The /etc/init.d/speetouch script needs to be fixed The Bering kernel must be recompiled to be able to mount usbdevfs (see my mail to the list August, 23) You will need to package rp-pppoe Good luck !
