Io ho la versione Mandrake 8.1. In questa il modem viene già
riconosciuto e basta copiare il file mgmt.o su una directory opportuna.
Il file mgmt.o lo si scarica dal sito alcatel.
Se hai l'8.0 ho visto che ci sono due rpm sul sito mandrake
all'indirizzo:

> Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Driver Kernel Module
>
> 1. Introduction
> This package contains the kernel module part of the
> Alcatel SpeedTouch USB driver. You will also need the management appli
cation.
> (the Management Application can be found at http://www.alcateldsl.com/
)
> This pacakge is distributed under the GPL, see COPYING and COPYING.GPL
for extra info.
>
> 2. Kernel Configuration
> This driver is only supported on kernel 2.4.1 and higher.
> You will need to install this kernel with the following options enable
d:
>
> -
Code maturity level options / Prompt for development and/or incomplete
code/drivers
> - USB support / Support for USB
> - USB support / Preliminary USB device filesystem
> - Networking options / Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) (EXPERIMENTAL)
>
> The first option is necessary to be able to enable ATM.
> When you upgrade your kernel, do not forget to upgrade your modutils!
> (You will need version 2.4.2 or newer)
> The modutils package can be found at:
>
> http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/v2.4/
>
>
> 3. Compiling the module
> You will need SARLib-0.2.1 to compile this module.
> You can download this library at:
>
> http://sarlib.sourceforge.net/
>
> Extract the SARLib in the same directory as this package.
> Make sure your new 2.4.1+ kernel is in /usr/src/linux/
> If it is not the case, you can also modify the path in the Makefile
> Then type:
>
> make
>
> then become root and type:
>
> make install
>
> To be able to use this driver, you will have to install more than thes
e two
> packages. After installation of this package (and plugging in the mode
m) your
> system will feature an ATM device.
> You will need to install PPPoA or PPPoE separately.
>
>
> 4. PPPoE
> Installing PPPoE is the easiest.
> First, install rfc 2684 Bridged ethernet support. This will allow you
to do
> Ethernet over ATM.
> You can download this software from
>
> http://home.sch.bme.hu/~cell/br2684/
>
> Follow the instructions on this site. (the TUTORIAL file)
> If you want this to be included in your startup you can add the approp
riate
> line in the /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch file after the startup of the
> management application.
>
> When you have your bridging ethernet interface (nas0) you can install
a
> PPPoE client. For example, I used roaring penguin PPPoE.
>
> http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
>
> The version 2.8 supports kernel-level PPPoE support too. (see webpage)
> Do not forget to provide 'nas0' as interface name to the rp-
pppoe config.
>
>
> 5. PPPoA
> This is more complex. Save for installing a kernel patch, you will als
o have
> to download the pppd source and patch that. For more information on th
is,
> see:
