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.

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. Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
