Apologies if this has been seen before - didn't see it in the archives, 
possibly as I emailed from an unregistered address

Hi,I have Fedora Core 1 installed, with kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl. I am 
using the KERNEL driver which gives me latency of  16-18 ms, with the 
pppoatm.so plugin. pppd is 2.4.1 - I remember having a somewhat hard time 
locating a fully working version of this plugin. I have the original frog 
modem.

I then decided it was time to upgrade to FC2, so I installed the gold code, 
and got the speedtouch user-space driver working using 
speedtouch-1.3-2.i586.rpm   from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32758&package_id=28264 
after just downloading the microcode from thomson.

However I then downloaded kernel kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i586.rpm, and the modem 
no longer loaded firmware (amber light still on). I saw this referred to in 
http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/fc2_speedtouch_usb.html but did not see a 
real explanation.I also noticed the user space driver latency was higher, so 
would like to stick to the kernel driver, so now some questions:

 * I also saw other RPMs at http://grumz.dyndns.org/ADSL_FC2, including a 
modified kernel - what kernel options were changed?
 * The kernel driver page at http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/ 
hasn't anything new for a year - is this still the right starting point 
(speedbundle 1.0) - but if so does it clash with FC2?
* What is it about 2.6.8-1.521 etc in FC2 updates that is preventing the 
user-space driver from working?
* Does anyone have the kernel driver working under FC2 - and if so which 
pppoatm plugin (lots around) +pppd to use with FC2
* What is "recommended" currently - user or kernel?

Thanks, Nigel
