now)

I have only the modem plugged in the usb card

After mailing, i looked in errors messages and it seems that it is the
function sk_buff which causes the pb...in sk_buff.c i did find on this file,
looked in it and saw that there was an error handler in it.. it's this error
handler that tell me there's an problem. At the top of the sk_buff.c there's
also said that you must disable interrupts before calling the function and
when the machine hangs it says "killing interrupt handler" so i'm wondering
if there's not a bug in mgmt..

Are you using PPPoE/bridging?
If you are, recompile your kernel with the latest bridging patch.

My machine used to hang too. I had a VIA USB chipset, so first I got myself
a brand new OHCI controller
which I think solved the problem. (but I think Tony has written some UHCI
drivers by now : 
check http://www.nothing-on.tv/alcatel-devel.html )

I use the latest drivers from Benoit's page.
You don't need to compile modem_init and modem_diag,
you just need to compile modem_run and pppoa2.
Just check the dependencies in the Makefile to choose wether you want to
use Benoit's libusb replacement or not. (comment the appropriate lines)
and then go for it :
make modem_run
make pppoa2
and that should be fine.

Hope this will help.

Do you have other stuff on your USB ports ? Because the ALCATEL USB modem
doesn't respect the specification of the USB about the power (hummm sorry if
it's not correct in english :) and if you try to use all brandwitch of the
usb modem and you have other stuff the modem can hangup and all led switch
off
The solution is to buy a hub, or try with only the modem connected on the
usb port...

You can find the binaries file on the web of Benoit  Maybe near the src
file
