I'm with Tiscali for my broadband. They supply a Speedtouch 330 modem to connect. It's a USB modem...
Currently, I'm running Kubuntu Hardy 32-bit and I'm thinking that with Intrepid, I'd like to go 64-bit (my CPU is 64-bit). That will require a re-install rather than an upgrade, which is what I've been doing since Edgy. If I move all the speedtch* files, the dial script and the secrets files to the appropriate places, will the modem still work with 64-bit Kubuntu? Or will I have to find 64-bit replacements? Also, I have it set up to dial in at boot. KNeMo can see the modem, but I can't find the /dev/ entry for it to use Kppp to control it. This means that, while I can manually call the dial script if lose my broadband signal, I have no way to stop it but to reboot. This can be a problem if the connection doesn't work (connection is there but no data flows). So I'd prefer to use Kppp and have starting and stopping the connection more under my control.
