Hello all,

Is anyone successfully using the Speedtouch modem under kernel 2.6.5 ?

The reason why I am asking is that I installed SuSE kernel
kernel-smp-2.6.5-8.16.i586.rpm and sources using SuSE9. It compiled fine
but I can't get me Speedtouch modem to work. 


Here's an extract from by boot.log
Running speedtouch with... start

Note 1 : All works fine if I boot using kernel 2.4.21 that comes with
SuSE9
Note 2 : As noted below I am using PPP generic driver version 2.4.2...

################
One last remark. I am not using the speedbundle. 

Here an extract of the error messages that I get when I try to compile
speedbundle sources that I downloaded via cvs.speedtouch.sourceforge.net

Any clues would be greatly appreciated as I plan on migrating to SuSE9.1
in a couple weeks when it comes out and a OS without a modem is useless.

TIA
