I may have say an error. It's should be user mode driver 1.2beta2 on last iso. If your run something else than RH7.3 or Debian woody, it's not so easy yet to compile _module_ for IPCop but less problematic for user mode program.

Hi Ok, > I thought > I was the only victim, but to my relief you're my companion > in distress (maybe it has to do with us being Dutch??). My distress was mainly that I can't use the official firmware (KQD6P2.eni) with the vanilla speedtouch driver. Even if there are different issues with the line in the Netherlands the driver shouldn't crash on that, and the changes you made to read_from_usb_thread definitely fix *that* problem for me (not the occassional USBDEVFS_bulk fails that I keep seeing though). > Anyway, the extra pipe didn't do anything (good or bad, that > is).

I will have a look at it some day (probably still this year ;), but I didn't want that to stop me from getting some fixes into the user space driver.

You can switch from one to the other in a few clicks from the web interface :-) It took only 10 mn to install on a dedicated box with minimal hardware necessary. the user mode driver is only version 1.2beta1, kernel driver is direct from kernel 2.4.22 on the last V1.4.0a1 iso Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
