The IRQ's are enabled for usb use in BIOS
I have a PC with 2 usb socket and using the modem on Windows with no probelm.I tested
the modem on both hubs and using only 1 usb device.So the possibility of broken hub or
modem is excluded.
Not enough power ONLY in Relation to Linux driver, its perhaps an incompatibility
between Linux driver/software and hardware.On windows everything is fine.
I believe the problem is software related(hotplug etc) not being able to correctly
initialise the usb device/modem.

No i didn't use the Kernel driver,i just followed the HOWTO at speedtouch.sourceforge
Thanks again for all your help Piercarlo
