Description: Speedtouch USB ADSL modem (the purple one) - works perfectly on RedHat 9, as long as one of the various tutorials is followed precisely (see http://www.webconexion.net/speedtouc...ch_330_usb.php for a working solution, but watch where it puts speedtouch.conf ;-)) and I can see no obstacles for this modem on other distributions as long as USB and HDLC line discipline is supported.

If possible, Firmware.bin from the Mac installation should be used instead of mgmt.o from the Windows installation in order to get the best performance.

I would say avoid this modem if at all possible although they are often given out free by ISP's. If you have to use it (and it will) use the speedtouchconf script from sourceforge (http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/).
Although if you're using a 2.6 kernel there are a few problems. It got a 3 because it works fine when it's connected...if you can

I have the silver version of this modem, (revision 4). It worked after a little messing on Mandrake 10.0. I've subsequently set it up in 9.2 too. Haven't tried the updated driver&scripts with 10.1 yet. Haven't tried the sourceforge conf script project yet.

I have the silver modem using PPPoA.

I tried configuring it in the past but gave me alot of headache so I demped it, until recently.
I read the documentation here :: http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/
and got it working in 30 minutes only! works like a charm now.

I only needed the following links ::
Original website http://www.speedtouchdsl.com
Linux Opensource http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/
HowTo http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/speedtouch/speedtouch/doc-linux/howto/SpeedTouch-HOWTO-en.html?rev=HEAD

* You'll need to get the firmware from the original website.

I gave it a 10

I'm using this for pppoa now with the firmware from http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm, (ie SpeedTouch330_firmware_3012.zip) and software from http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/download.en.html (which I compiled myself).

The speedtouch-setup script was very easy to use.

I had to recompile my kernel to include modules for ppp, atm and hdlc line discipline (I already had the hotplug and usb stuff active).

Otherwise it was easy! Works perfectly so far. One thing is that I have to run "speedtouch-start" as root and I don't know enough to be sure this isn't a security risk.
