Hi SuperDindon, > im currently working on a new Debian package more more user-friendly, and i > need an information : > > is the Speedtouch USB the first revision ( 0 ) of the Speedtouch 330 modem?
there are several modems that have the same vendor and product ids (06b9 and 4061 respectively), but different revisions. The original Speedtouch USB is one of these; it has revision 0.00. The Speedtouch 330 is another; it has revision 4.00. But there are others too, including modems designed to work with ISDN lines (I forget the revision number). > it' s a bit confusing, in the source code i don't see any trace of specific > code to the USB series, and yet a firmware for 'Speedtouch USB' is still > available on the official site The firmware is code run **by the modem** - if the modems are quite different internally, then their firmware will be very different. Being implemented differently internally doesn't mean that they look much different externally (i.e. to your computer which has to talk with it). And indeed the Speedtouch USB and Speedtouch 330 are so similar (externally) that exactly the same driver can work with both. However the Speedtouch 330 does have extra stuff (isochronous endpoints) which the Speedtouch USB does not have; the driver doesn't use them though which is a pity since they should provide better performance. But even if the driver did exploit different features of these modems, you probably wouldn't see any reference to revision numbers anyway. For example, the code for handling isochronous endpoints would simply look to see if any such endpoints exist and turn itself on if so. This is more robust than checking revision numbers. > So can someone enlightnen me? Well, I tried! Don't get eaten for Christmas! Ciao, Duncan.
