How the firmware is distributed has changed from one file to two files to go back to one file. This was awfull for a maintainer to make one interface, a second and a third.

The firmware may stay inside the modem during a reboot from Windows to Linux et vice-versa. Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
