Right gentleman, that's what i get when booting slack 10.1 with hotplug on:
Activating hardware detection: /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug start /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch: line 14: /var/run/usb/%proc%bus%usb%001%002: No such file or directory speedtouch-start didnt work. I went to #speedtouch and benoit told me i should put speedtouch and speedtch on hotplug blacklist (/etc/hotplug/blacklist). I did that, the message error bellow didn´t appear anymore when booting the system but speedtouch-start was still not working. Then i tried to turn hotplug off. (chmod -x /etc/rc.d/hotplug). Then, trying speedtouch-start thats what i got: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# modprobe uhci [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# speedtouch-start Starting ADSL connection... Loading preliminary USB device filesystem support... OK (and then nothing else happened, the lights of the modem blink...) PS: when i try speedtouch-start without modprobe uhci another error appears.... So, if anybody using slack10.1 has been successfull please mail me and explain what you did.
