Well, this means that indeed the modem has not been found by
'modem_run'. The two major possibilities are:
* The 'usbdevfs' filesystem has not been mounted on '/proc/bus/usb'.
Make sure that the 'usbdevfs' is mounted there either manually with
'mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb' or with a line like
'none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs auto,defaults 0 0' in '/etc/fstab'.
* The modem is well not connected via USB. Check about this by using
'lsusb' or 'grep "Vendor=06b9" /proc/bus/usb/devices'. If the modem
does not appear as a USB devices there are a couple of possibilities:
- The appropriate driver for the USB host adapter (UHCI,OHCI,EHCI)
has not been loaded or compiled into the kernel. Check the contents
of '/proc/bus/usb/drivers'.
- There is a problem with the physical USB connection; for example,
given that the SpeedTouch needs to draw power from the USB port
it is attached to, not enough power is being supplied.
An additional note, with one of my usual whines: your experience also
means that, as usual, whatever ``hotplug'' scripts are installed on your
system are badly written (almost all Linux shell scripts are badly
written by rather ingrained newbies), because if 'modem_run' fails
'pppd' should not be launched, yet according to your logs the scripts
do, and this just confuses things.
