blackpage 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Howdy vital I fear you've picked probably the most bothersome ADSL-modem for linux one could imagine. According to this document (PDF) there is no linux-support for the PCI version. All the internet has to offer are howtos according the USB-version. Other sources meanwhile indicate it's possible to utilize the "mgmt.o"-management module of the USB version for the PCI-card as well. The common denominator for all these references is: "The Speed Touch PC-card is a p*** in the a** to set up under linux." And according to Alcatel's lousy and nosey driver-download page I can only subscribe to that. So ... no solution to offer, but a tip: Trade the card for some decent external modem. Should only be a couple of EUROs/$$$. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Hi vital! Glad to have you over! An external ADSL modem is likely gonna perform better for you anyway. Check out some of these. Share this post Link to post
