you need to unload the speedtch module.

The previous pppd may still be running - try killing it first.  If that
doesn't help, send in the contents of the file(s) /proc/net/atm/speed*

The driver tries to look for different firmware files based in the modem's
revision (notice how the suffix changes).  Some distributions make the
generic firmware loading mechanism complain if a firmware file isn't found
(I don't know why - surely it is up to the driver to complain if it is
unhappy?) and it seems like yours is one of these.  Ignore these errors.

This means that something unpleasant has happened to your modem.  If this
is immediately after or before disconnection and doesn't last for long,
it is harmless - it just means that the disconnection hadn't yet been reported
to the driver yet (so it keeps trying to send packets, but these fail because
the modem is not there anymore): it can take a little while (< 1 second though)
for the USB core to report disconnections to drivers.

As for why it disconnects in the first place, hard to say.  Lots of people
seem to have this problem, and as you noticed it seems to be related to the
kind of motherboard...  Maybe the modem is not getting enough power, or the
USB cables are too long or passing too close to a source of electromagnetic
interference?  Try plugging the modem into a different usb port (eg: one on
the back of the computer if you were using one on the front before), and
try to keep cables away from other cables or possible sources of interference.

Ciao,

Duncan.
