Hi Nigel, For the modified kernel on http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2, here are the changes I have done to make it works with the speedtouch modem :
- apply patches to fix some usb bugs (have they been integrated to the last kernel ??) - add some options that are not present in the default FC2 kernel : - Device drivers->Networking Support->Networking options->Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) : build as module - Then also select RFC1483/2684 Bridged Protocols: build as module and switch off "Per VC IP filter kludge" - Device Drivers->Networking Support->Network Device Support->PPP Support->PPP over ATM: build as module - Device Drivers->USB Support->Alcatel Speedtouch USB Support: build as module the patches are in the source RPM available on my site above. this RPM is based on the default kernel of FC2 For my part, I have the kernel driver working with the RPMs of my site. But the kernel is a bit old now, and I didn't find the time until now to try to build a newer one.
