Dont worry about the red entry in usb view, it is that colour in mine, and mine works, look.
There is a howto that comes with mandy in
/usr/share/doc/speedtouch/howto
or at least there is in mine.
I have 9.2 and it worked first time, but I have never been able to install using any of the supplied utilities. You just need to compile the speedtouch package and install it. DONT recompile the kernal, it doesn't need it.
Get the speedtouch tar from
http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/dvrreg_lx.htm
Just did a make make install and it should work.
A search of this board will produce plenty of answers, including this one I left a couple of weeks ago.

To get it working originally in 8.2 took me days. I left this message at mandrake expert;
There are two INCOMPATABLE drivers for the Alcatel SpeedTouch ADSL USB modem. One, from Alcatel, uses pppoatm.so and has to be compiled into the kernel. The other one, from Benoit Papillault, doesn't. Reading more than one howto, I ended up trying to install both.
You need speedmgmt.tar.gz from
http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/dvrreg_lx.htm
which you don't install, you only need the micro code, and
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...uch-1.1.tar.gz.
I followed the howto, and it still didn't work. At the bullitin board
http://www.mail-archive.com/speedtouch@ml.free.fr
I found the solution, which was to delete /usr/sbin/speedmgmt (the Alcatel Driver which I installed) off the system. Now, here I am using linux to access the internet via an ADSL modem.
