HUGE problems with the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB with OSX.2
Authored by: Orlando on Aug 30, '02 05:17:31AM

It's a bloody disaster really. NOT a good modem, but the one that the largest ADSL provider (almost the only one) in the UK provides...

Turns out that Alcatel's SpeedTouch USB drivers for Mac OSX.2 are *censored* and don't work at all. Here's my personal story about how I found out how to get them to work (most of these are links to the same page, if you click on the first one and the scroll up the page you'll get the story in context)

I have solved this !

You need two files to fix your installation.

The patch (gory) details are posted to this forum, where you will also find a URL with the patched files and detailed instructions:

Have a good one !
