As explain in the document, you may have some conflict if you try to install a software where other software supporting the same hardware are already installed (working or not). There is so many way to use speedtouch usb, this may confuse users: - original speedmgmt binary should no more be used by everyone - modem_run + pppoa3 is the old common solution (will work on 2.4 kernel) - modem_run + speedtch module and pppd plugin - speedtch and usbatm modules and firmware loader and pppd plugin There is too the hot-plug layer wich may interfer to the process (and the file system where the firmware is registred may not be yet available when hot-plug try to load the firmware) > However, they worked quite perfectly on any > Debian based distro I have on my machine..
