Just to make sure: that's a filesystem, which maps devices onto
``virtual'' files.

Thats sound like unrelated bad news, because probably the errors occur
while scanning the USB device id table, and that means that you 'lsusb'
setup is a bit broken. But even so it should _not_ affect the Speedtouch.

  And tangentially another one of my whines: the above error message
  don't say which program is emitting the error message, and the name of
  the file containing the error, and don't even contain the line itself.
  This reminds me of the famous MS Windows error message "Cannot open
  file.".  Dim programmers write shoddy open source software too,
  unfortunately.

nmeerun> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 [ ... ]

There is no device id line other than the USB hub. The Speedtouch has
not successfully attached itself to the USB hub, as this also indicates:

nmeerun> Nothing happens with this command: grep "Vendor=06b9" /proc/bus/usb/devices

nmeerun> The contents of /proc/bus/usb/drivers shows this: [ ... ]

There is no trace of the Speedtouch kernel driver either, but then
whether i should be there depends on whether you are using it or 'pppoa3'.

nmeerun> And for /proc/bus/usb/devices: [ ... ]
nmeerun> P:  Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
nmeerun> S:  Product=USB UHCI Root Hub [ ... ]

No Speedtouch either.

When I use 'lsusb' the output is:

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  base# lsusb | sort
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 044f:b305 ThrustMaster, Inc. 
  Bus 001 Device 004: ID 06b9:4061 Alcatel Telecom Speed Touch ISDN
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
  Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
  Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
and with 'grep' the output is:

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  P:  Vendor=06b9 ProdID=4061 Rev= 0.00
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

(your prodID would be different as your Speedtouch is a different
model).

But not necessarily enough to successfully power up the device. Also
when the device is not yet initialized the two lights ought to be solid
green.

These don't look good either.

It looks like you have some kind of hardware problem in getting the
Speedtouch to properly register iself with the USB bus.

As such, this is a problem that should not be discussed on this mailing
list, which is about Speedtouch software problems.

However, just because we are at it: I still think that the most likely
cause is insufficient power supplied by the USB socket; it could be a
bad cable, or just a broken Speedtouch, or a broken USB hub.

The general things to do to sort out a USB registration problem would be:

* Detach all other USB devices, if any, and try with just the Speedtouch.
  Perhaps all together they draw more current than is available.

* Try to plug the Speedtouch into another socket belonging to a
  different hub. Usually desktop PCs have at least two hubs.

* Try to buy/borrow a PCI USB card, or a powered external USB hub.

But, but, now that I think of it, your 'lsusb' output seems to imply
that your computer has only one USB hub.  Usually desktop systems have
at least two (for a total of four sockets), and so do PCI USB cards.

Just about the only computers that have a single hub are laptops.
Laptops just don't supply enough power to their USB sockets for larger
devices like a Speedtouch.
