There is any news for the 2.6.6 kernel? it doesn't work.....
I obtain the following error messages:
May 13 17:51:06 cain modem_run[6516]: [monitoring report] ADSL link went up
May 13 17:51:18 cain modem_run[6515]: ADSL synchronization has been obtained

May 13 17:51:18 cain modem_run[6515]: pusb_release_interface 2 failed
and after that, the pppd can not connect to the modem:
May 13 19:37:43 cain pppd[3060]: Couldn't get channel number: Input/output error
It does works for me too, but i got a problem. The modem light is red the most of the time when downloading and i get this syslog (/var/log/syslog) messages:
Aug 12 13:11:46 xonner pppoa3[1413]: CRC error in AAL5 frame

...
I guess the modem is detecting some kind of CRC error in the frames and i notice the internet connection is very slow.
Now when i try to connect the modem in 2.4.27 kernel, i connect to the internet with no problems, i see that error message in kernel too but fewer times (almost rare), the connections is very fast but after fewer minutes the connection falls and the pppd doesn't tries to connect again i don't know why since i have "persist" option. This is the output of /var/log/messages:

I tried this with 2.4.22, 2.4.26, 2.4.27 and 2.6.7 kernels. What can i do? Please help.
When I got this "CRC error in AAL5 frame", what solved it for me was to try different firmware. There are two versions in the zip from thompson you can try http://www.speedtouch.com/driver_upgrade_lx_3.0.1.2.htm . On my Windows XP partition the firmware is at /mnt/windows/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/alcaudsl.sys . There's also a mgmt.o file you can try in this tarball http://download.ethomson.com/download/speedmgmt.tar.gz . I hope one of them helps.
Well Andrew_Benton, that just do the trick. I got no more CRC errors. I used the first link you gave me. Thanks a lot for that. I still sense that the connection is a little bit slower than in 2.4.x kernel , since i didn't figured out yet what seems to be the problem for pppd in 2.4.x kernel, this will work for me in the meantime. Thanks once again for the tip.
I'm currently running kernel 2.4.18. I connect to the net through alcatel speedtouch and am using roaring penguin. I live in Portugal so the ADSL connects through PPPoE bridged protocol. I've been trying to connect to the net using the 2.6.X kernel but haven't been quite successful. I correctly upload the firmware to the modem but when I type the 'adsl-start' command it always gets timed out.
Since i'm using the same configuration on 2.6.x that i use in 2.4.x I'm supposing that something's changed that unables roaring penguin software to correctly connect.
Anyone having the same problem?
Has anyone successfully connected to the internet with a alcatel speedtouch using kernel 2.6.x?
thanx for you time
OOOOOOHHHHHH!! YEAH
I have been a member of this forum for ten minutes and am elated that the answer I found here works great. Still canīt initialise internet on boot, but very happy for now, thanks to all.
Answer : open Gedit as root and browse to /etc/modprobe.conf
add these two lines:
alias net-pf-10 ipv4
install ipv4 /bin/true
Save and reboot.
On reboot run terminal as SU
# type the following
# ifup eth0
# type Enter
