These messages are harmless (firmware_helper is being pointlessly verbose here I think): the modem tried to find speedtch-1.bin.0.00, then speedtch-1.bin.0, then speedtch-1.bin. The last one existed, and it loaded it.

Has anybody here had the same > experience? Are you using the correct version of the firmware (what version of the modem do you have)? Also, try compiling the kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y, which should put more messages in the system log. Ciao, Duncan.
