I'm bugging you because:
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/
Short version:
I had this working just fine on Linux 2.4.2. I tried upgrading to 2.4.17 today (so I can get my fancy new Linksys WUSB wireless network working which requires 2.4.14+). In theory, I thought, my steps would be:
1: Save current kernel config to alternate file
2: rm linux (the symlink to linux-2.4.2)
3: Download and extract new linux
4: Patch with br2684-against2.4.17.diff.txt
5: make menuconfig; load kernel config from alternate file (double checked many times); make bzImage; make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/linux-2.4.17; vi lilo.conf; lilo
6: reboot, cd sarlib; make clean; make; cd ../SpeedTouch; make clean; make; make install
7: plugin usb modem
...and...

then I downloaded SpeedTouch-1.5.tar.gz make; make install; reboot for good measure, and get:

tried re-making, installing latest speedmgmt tools, but that doesn't seem to be the problem because when i reboot with my linux-2.4.2 kernel and use the new speedmgmt compile with my 2.4.2 kernel, all is well, in fact, I'm sending you this e-mail through it right now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bottom line, it works damn well under 2.4.2 (thanks!), but speedmgmt dies a few seconds after starting under 2.4.17 with the newly compiled module. Help please!
