Hallo Irene, > Since I was having downstream problems with the user space driver and > the alcaudsl.sys firmware, I installed the latest Debian speedtouch > packet and built in the kerneldriver (2.4.22).
I have no experience with the kernel driver yet, but since nobody else jumps in I thought I might give you at least some answers. > I'm using the firmware file from > http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html now. I have been using the KQD6P2.eni with the user mode driver for quite a while now (http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip). > Ping gives messages like unknown host, also when I use an IP > address. Really? Or just time outs in the latter case? By the way, can you ping both ends of the point to point connection? Have you tried traceroute and seen how far a trace gets? > I shut down the firewall, but no way. I put the modem_run options > -m -f -s in the script, that didn't work either. Could it be that I should > remove netfiltering modules from the kernel? If all chains are set to ACCEPT you should be ok. No need to remove the netfiltering modules. > Iptables -L -n gives IP-addresses with only zero's. Don't forget the -v option, which shows to which interface the rules apply. The zero's are just IP catch alls, its the "destination" (ACCEPT/DROP) that matters. > Btw, it doesn't seem to be possible to go back to my original > configuration, it just doesn't work anymore somehow.

The user mode driver gives me a 40KB/s ftp download speed (same modem as you, same line specs, but using the KQD6P2.eni firmware). Although I don't feel I can pinpoint the problem you are having I hope this is of some use. Maybe somebody with experience with the kernel mode driver can jump in...
