I do the same error with a k6-450 and it is very slow to update. You should prefer a distrib wich distribute packages already compilated.
With full speedtouch usermode driver, (modem_run and pppoa3), you should be able to connect from every running kernel (from 2.2 branch to 2.6) without the need to compile a kernel if your provider use PPPoA or PPPoE (in case of PPPoE, you will need to add a PPPoE package).
