Hello, I'm using an Alcatel Speedtouch USB with a ClarkConnect 1.1 distrib (based on RedHat 7.2). This is a firewall oriented distribution, but which doesn't officially support USB modems. I've installed that box 3 weeks ago.I've set up the modem by using Benoit Papillault driver, following the Howto, etc. For the first 2 weeks, the modem has worked flawlessly (launching modem_run and pppd call adsl from the command line). I've seen theconnection staying uo for as much as 5 days in a row, without a glitch. But since the begining of last week, it seems I can't keep the connection up and running for more than a few hours... Yesterday, I've decided to automatize the connection on boot (using the script provided with the driver)and force reconnection with a script checking every minute if the connection has failed and then trying a restart of the connection script. It seems to work fine if it's a "normal" dropped line (e,g problem coming from the provider), as I've got one successful reconnection last night at 4 am. But there has been an other problem at 7:38, and to solve it, I had to reboot the computer... Here is an extract of /var/log/messages: Oct 9 07:38:28 router kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 588 Oct 9 07:38:28 router kernel: hub.c: already running port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

Could it be I haven't configured correctly the script? (I'm not sure that the USB support is defined as modules or in the kernel) Or is it a problem with the USB chipset? Any suggestion will be welcome, of course... :) Cheers, Cedric
