I have a speedtouch USB-modem running under plain Mandrake8.0 (no kernel patches, just the kernel as it is in Mandrake8.0). I use speedtouch-21062001 and followed the instructions of Bernard P. except when it tells about recompiling or patching the kernel. Everything works fine, except for one thing: when I want to stop my adsl-connection I kill pppd and modem_run and then perform a halt, unfortunately my system then is uncapable of umounting cleanly my linux partition. I asked for a solution for this problem several times but nobody seems to know how. I now consider upgrading to Mandrake8.1 because it is said that support for the speedtouch usb modem is better, however I'm not sure whether I have to remove first some of the stuff I have currently installed for the speedtouch, or can I just ask Mandrake 8.1 to perform an upgrade withput danger of messing up everything? regards, hugo Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
