Hi,
So I decided to have another attempt to move my Alcatel USB ASDL Modem from my Windows workstation to this new machine. I have been trying to follow the how to at...

If you do a standard SuSE installation with 7.1 the kernel is most
Sorry Phil, I'' ve been trying for the last 2 months myself. Still don't have it working. I have recompiled kernels to include ATM and some other stuff. I've even gotten it to the point that when I compile using "make xconfig" the driver shows up in the configuration menu. So I KNOW I've gotten the right modules loaded. And still no luck. Frankly I'm thinking of trying FreeBSD, because I heard somewhere (don't remember where unfortunately) that a guy in England got his Alcatel SpeedTouch USB working with British Telecom.

2.2.18 instead of 2.4 Easiest way to fix this is to run YAST and to then install kernel 2.4 So now you have 2.4 but the packages at linuxdude require at least 2.4.2 At linuxorg you can download up to kernel 2.4.5 so take you're pick.
I have just installed 7.2 on this machine with the standard 2.4 kernel.
B.T.W. I've got the same problem with my Alcatel USB SpeedTouch. And I haven't been able to get it working yet either. I requested support from SuSE but they told me, as the driver is a "closed"source driver, it's not supported.
If you have any luck, I would appreciate any info you might have.
Cheers
Phil
