Why ? I don't claim anything about that file, so i don't want to get
emails about it (on my personal box)... As i said at that time, the
speedtouch site was down and people were asking for a firmware so i
uploaded the one i use.

Then  I've  been  blacklisted[1]  from thomson-multimedia  domain,  that
explains why i was still thinking the speedtouchdsl.com site was down.

It was a firmware shipped in a MacOSX driver release. MacOSX drivers use
raw firmwares,  so it was/is a good  idea to take them  instead of using
wrapped firmwares in .dll or .o files.

Now i know Thomson distributes the raw firmware file directly (not a
mgmt.o) file. 

[1] I  don't knwo why exactly but  i cannot access their  site (not even
their main site). All sites  in the the thomson multimedia domain refuse
my  connection  (i  have  a  static   IP  so  it's  easy  to  filter  my
connections). A friend  provided me a Proxy access (his  proxy is in the
same IP  range/same ISP IP group) and,  hided behind the proxy  i had no
problems... so i'm pretty sure i'm simply blacklisted from their domain.
