Plug in the ADSL modem before you turn the machine on. Keep the ADSL modem plugged in until you have halted the machine.

Ok, I have found the kernel-patch-2.4-speedtouch, installed it, and run the apply script with no errors. I then proceeded to run "make-kpkg kernel_image" which resulted in a ../kernel-image...deb. I then installed that. Dpkg -i kernel Checked LILO was correct, and rebooted. re-compiled speedtouch module that came from linux-usb website, hmmm, perhaps I shouldn't have done that... Anyway, please confirm if I shouldn't have done that as I don't have access to the machine (it is at work, and I am not), and then ran modprobe speedtch. next, I plugged in the ADSL modem (USB) and ran "speedmgmt &". Then repeatedly ran dmesg to view the kernel messages. 4 time-out messages occur. 2 in the Bulk and 2 in the Control. Is this normal? Then the message saying that the link was established at 576 kbits download, 288 upload. Then came the illegal instruction. This all happens before I even touch ppp. This is a pretty complete account of my steps. Do not assume I did something unless I have said that I did. Q1, is there a new option in the "make menuconfig" for the modem? Q2, should I have re-installed that other speedtouch kernel module?

Yes, this is what I get. It works anyway. Warning: Object was compiled with egcs-2.91.66, not 2.95.4. Warning: Object was compiled with libc-2.1.92, you APPEAR to be using libc-2.2.5 -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's all working fine for me with the latest Debian unstable setup and 2.4.18. Now we just need to work out what's different between your system and mine. -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
