Hi Thomas, I mean that when you install a kernel package (like kernel-2.4.22.5mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm), adiusbadsl.o.gz is not included as a pre-compiled module in the /lib/modules/etc and one's have to install the kernel sources, build a new kernel and install the module in /lib/modules/... which could really discourage newbies and upset others... ;-)
That's also why the drakeconf wizard used to set adsl connection with Sagem 800 cannot succeed. But you're right, it could stay in 3rdparty, I would be ok just with the module included in the kernel binary package.
