Using red modem, Mandrake 9.1 with vanilla 2.6.7 kernel, speedtouch-1.3 install from source (not RPM). With 2.6.6 and 1.2 it worked OK with warnings and would not hang up properly. Now gives no errors in the logs when connecting. Good work! What I do get is a lot of: Jun 18 12:27:19 nevingor pppoa3[6410]: CRC error in AAL5 frame ..when running shareaza (P2P client). I never got these errors with 2.6.6. It seems when there are a lot of small packets/many connections it throws them all the time and things go a lot slower.. On a full speed download I get good throughput (sustained 118KB/s on 1mbit ADSL) and the CRC errors are rare. pppd version 2.4.2b3 Linux nevingor.mine.nu 2.6.7 #1 Wed Jun 16 23:02:10 BST 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: modem_run version 1.3 started by root uid 0 Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Found SpeedTouch USB modem Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Modem revision: 0200 Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Best offset 0 with probability 100% Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Best offset 983 with probability 100% Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Firmware info (CRC:0xd80bf9f7, Size:991, Checked: Yes, Alcatel/Thomson Boot block (old)) Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Best offset 0 with probability 100% Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Best offset 677633 with probability 100% Jun 18 12:04:14 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Firmware info (CRC:0x5bca7d16, Size:677641, Checked: Yes, 2.0.1 - MacOSX - Win32(2.0.0)) Jun 18 12:04:16 nevingor kernel: usb 2-1: bulk timeout on ep5in Jun 18 12:04:16 nevingor kernel: usb 2-1: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 Jun 18 12:04:16 nevingor modem_run[6390]: BLOCK1 : 991 bytes uploaded : OK Jun 18 12:04:16 nevingor modem_run[6390]: BLOCK2 : 511 bytes downloaded : OK Jun 18 12:04:19 nevingor modem_run[6390]: BLOCK3 : 677641 bytes uploaded : OK Jun 18 12:04:19 nevingor modem_run[6390]: BLOCK4 : 511 bytes downloaded : OK Jun 18 12:04:20 nevingor modem_run[6390]: Modem reference : 3566067A......
