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?

CONFIG_USB_SPEEDTOUCH under USB. Thanks for all the help, is there a document I could be looking at which describes this process?
