Hello
I added a debug option to the speedtch file and found that I couldn't connect out.
I rebooted the system and it gave an error message when loading the speedtch driver . After various plays of booting up with the modem attached and booting up with the modem not attached, I deduced on the 3rd boot up that this error message could occur whether the modem was attached or not.
I decided a complete re-install with the modem and NIC attached would be in order. Just to see if installing with the modem attached made any difference. On the first reboot I got an error message about an unrecognised symbol for the speedtch driver.
This is the relevant error message from syslog
Feb 4 11:38:33 localhost kernel: speedtch: Unknown symbol crc32_be
Feb 4 11:38:33 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver speedtch
The second statement shows the speedtch kernel driver loads ok.
However when I try using the ZZZL firmware I get this
Feb 4 13:08:17 localhost modem_run[19784]: modem_run version 1.2 started by root uid 0
Feb 4 13:08:17 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: usbfs: interface 1 claimed while 'modem_run' sets config #1

Feb 4 13:08:17 localhost modem_run[19784]: Unable to locate firmware in /etc/ppp/ZZZL_3.012
and not surprisingly this from pppd call speedtch:

Feb 4 13:08:24 localhost pppd[19785]: PPPoATM plugin_init

Feb 4 13:08:24 localhost pppd[19785]: Exit.
I have tried the KQ6_3.012 and got this

I do have a Silver modem but its not Rev 4 it's Rev 2 (see previous posts to the mailing list last year
http://www.mail-archive.com/speedtou.../msg05198.html and thank god for mailing list archives) so I am going to try with the KD6_3.102 firmware and see if that works.
I'd completely forgotten mine was not a Rev 4 and you might want to change your web page to let people know how to check what version they have regardless of colour (if cat /proc/bus/usb/devices still works of course).
