I don't think you should take the name "run tests" too seriously. Remember, the whole thing was reverse engineered so we are just guessing as to what that step does. I guess it is some kind of extra initialization. > At this point, I'm stuck, lacking the understanding of USB and the > internals of the speedtouch to identify and fix the problem. Well, the thing to do is to log all the USB packets sent and received during this phase under windows, and try sending the same stuff in that part of modem_run. > My guess, however, is that the firmware for the 4.00 behaves differently > to the others in some way, rendering it incompatible with the linux > driver.

A little bird tells me that the Thomson engineers may have a fix in the works. But I wouldn't let that hold you back. All the best, Duncan.
