Speedtouch is a nightmare
Authored by: influx on Aug 15, '01 07:01:02AM
Really, it is - a nightmare of epic proportions. I battled for weeks trying to get the Alcatel Linux drivers working on either of my RedHat or Mandrake boxes. No joy whatsoever. Apparently, even when you can get them installed correctly, they're horribly unstable anyway. Even if you could get the Linux driver and SpeedMgmt package to compile under X, you probably wouldn't want to anyway. However, one enterprising soul has written their own. Linux driver package for the Speedtouch USB, which is far easier to install and work with. Maybe thats a possibility under X, seeing as theres been a port for *BSD? http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3 If thats no help, you might find helpful pointers at www.adslguide.org.uk - the forums there are especially helpful.
