Solzhenitsyn, it seems u r having the same problem i used to have ( i assume that u are trying the speedtouchconf driver) If so please look here
http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16970
And read about the commenting out the lines
(ie put a # in front of the following lines in the speedtouchconf.sh file)
if [ -z "${USB_TYPE}" ]; then
echo $"No USB Bus found!" | tee -a $LOGFILE
error=`expr $error + 2`
fi
If it's not a sppedtouch modem then ignore this advice!
