I read the info on your page and I agree with you and others that my connection behave better with speedtouch driver user mode when I was using V1.1 than V1.2x but many other packages have changed and I use a different hardware in my box so I was not able to know what was the root cause.
I know one other guy which have reversed to V1.1 driver on IPCop V1.3 and found the same reliability improvement with the old driver. Because now I can use user and kernel mode driver on IPCop, I saw the same trouble (that I named EMI bug) like you with both drivers so modem_run may be the guilty. This is with a green stingray rev0 and kernel mode driver with rp-pppoe plugin Feb 9 22:02:30 adsl modem_run[4021]: modem_run version 1.2-beta3 started by root uid 0 Feb 9 22:02:30 adsl modem_run[4021]: Found ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB modem Feb 9 22:02:30 adsl modem_run[4021]: Rev 0000 detected, revision 0 chosen Feb 9 22:02:30 adsl modem_run[4021]: Best offset 0 with probability 100% Feb 9 22:02:30 adsl modem_run[4021]: Best offset 671645 with probability 100% Feb 9 22:02:31 adsl modem_run[4021]: Firmware information (CRC:0x3b4a5854, Size:671653, 1.6.1 -
