My post was really aimed at developers, package maintainers and people
who will potentially get bitten on the arse when upgrading to 2.6.10.
If you aren't using kernel 2.6.10 then this shouldn't cause you any
problems, if you are using 2.6.10 and aren't having any problems then
ignore the post until you do, if you're using 2.6.10 and are having
problems then the solution is to run:

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

if you don't have a usbfs already mounted before attempting to run the
initialisation scripts (or plugging your modem in if you do it that
way). You might have to "modprobe usbcore" first so that it creates
the /proc/bus/usb directory first.

The script that uses this (at least in SuperDindon's Debian package
and the the source package on http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/) is
/etc/init.d/speedtouch-start. I had a look at the official Debian
package and it doesn't seem to make any attempt to get usbfs working
if it isn't already.
