Yes, it definitely looks like a SpeedTouch. I've added its IDs to the driver in my CVS tree to see what happens. Wanna give it a try? export CVS_RSH=`which ssh` cvs -d :ext:cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co speedtch cd speedtch make sudo modprobe atm sudo insmod ./usb_dsl.ko sudo insmod ./speedtch.ko You also need the firmware. Do you have a CD with firmware on it? We can try the Alcatel/Thompson firmware if not. Either build the firmware_extract tool from the userspace package, or download it from ftp://pentafluge.infradead.org/pub/dsl/firmware_extract.{i386,ppc} Then run it on whatever firmware file you have, move the resulting 'boot.bin' to /lib/firmware/speedtch_fw1 and 'firmware.bin' to /lib/firmware/speedtch_fw2_rev123 A current snapshot of the kernel driver is there too, in case you're IPv6-challenged. It's speedtouch-20041003.tar.gz -- dwmw2
