Regarding modem_run: I get a lot of messages of the type in /var/log/syslog 
below, especially if booting when the speedtouch is plugged in, it overloads 
teh kernel message buffer and dmesg can only print out hundreds of lines of the 
same message , so I cannot see what other messages are in between.

Have not yet tried the patch though 

Regarding the kernel firmware loader: 
Is there an advatage to using the kernel loader? I think it will be easier for 
me to get the user mode thing working properly, but if it helps people to 
improve the kernel , here is some more detailed info.


There is one important point I forgot, the speedtch-*.bin do not come from 
exaclty the same firmware as the one that I know to work. Perhaps that is the 
problem (though the message says it is 'not found' rather than 'not working')? 
If so I still don't know how to solve this. 

-- I have the green revision 0 speed touch USB alcatel, (UK version , using 
pppoatm) 
-- The firmware that I use with modem_run came from the Alcatel website, I 
cannot remember exaclty but I am sure I followed the instructions given while 
running speedbundle ; I have a file firmware.bin that works with modem_run, I 
am sure I got it from teh web site or the Alcatel web site but I have forgotten 
exactly, I thought it was in the speedbundle instructions but I cannot find it 
now. 

-- However, the firmware_extractor does not find 2 parts in this firmware.bin. 
SO I used the mgmt.o that it says 
should work with the revision 0.00 green modem 

-- Using this, I get the messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog as 
copied below. Does this indicate the mgmt.o firmware does not work with this 
modem? How do I find the boot block to go with my firmware.bin? I have all the 
files, I think, that I downloaded last year when I installed the speedtch the 
first time, but none of the files in any of the zips are recognized by 
firmware_extractor as containing the boot block.

Look for FIRMWARE_DIRS in /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
