Try adding the following to your startup scripts: echo "372300" > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default echo "372300" > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max echo "372300" > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default echo "372300" > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max I connect at 1472000 MBits/sec. If I get a good feed, I get transfer rates in excess of 150 Kbytes/sec. Given that ATM encapsulation takes about 10% of your bandwidth, the theoretical max (before you do any encapsultaion for TCP/IP) is about 166 Kbits/sec. So I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting. > 2. I can't shutdown the machine. That's a known bug that's been outstanding for a LONG time. In addition, the new VM introduced in 2.4.10 broke speedmgmt. At least, on my configuration, it seg faults if I try and boot any kernel > 2.4.9. Since Alcatel sold the DSL modem business to Thompson multimedia, I don't know that you can expect much in the way of support. Also, I experienced freezes at random intervals. My machine would not allow me to enter keystrokes, and I couldn't telnet in to do a proper shutdown. 3. The machine is a laptop, and it would be real nice if I could suspend the laptop without freezing ;-). May I recommend switching to Benoit's drivers? When I was doing research, trying to determine if the thing would work under Linux, I ran across some messages from some fellows in Australia who were using versions of the Speedtouch with the ethernet interface. According to them, you didn't need to configure PPPOATM on the Linux boxes, just PPPOE. The major thing was that you did have to configure the Speedtouch with the proper PPPOATM setting.
