Hello, being relatively new to Linux I decided to go with the installation of RedHat9 - all went really well, but now that I am trying to install my ADSL Speedtouch USB modem connected to BTOpenworld things are a different story.
Trying the walkthrough on: webconexion.net/speedtouch/index.php though it did state it was for RedHat8 - I had no success. On rebooting when I get to ADSL connection I receive this message: USB_control/bulk_msg: timeout usbdevfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed deev 2 ep 0x85 len 512 ret -110 and being not altogether linux savvy can't really make head or tail of this! When using lsmod I receive back: usb_uhci (unused) usbcore [usbnet hid usb_uhci] so I am usb_uhci. I have the USB version of the speedtouch! Standard with the BTOpenworld ISP home plug 'n play. (BT even states that it's only compatible with windows - though there are reportsand source projects on making this work with Linux - and so here I am plodding along wearily). I have had the thing whirring away quite the thing now for over a year on ME and then XP - though have gone and created a mutant hybrid dual-boot XP / RedHat9 system. - really wanted to try Linux as am fed up with Windows doing it's own thing! I knew there would have to be some fiddling to make everything work, but thismodem is beginning to try me! Still no further ahead as what I was - and there are only a few specific routers that I can plug this modem into - but I really don't want to have to shell out for more hardware, when what I have could work! "Could" being the word. Anyone else got any ideas, sympathy. . . . Thank you for any reply, Regards, Yad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for cheaper internet access?
