USB Problems on 2.6.1

HI,
I am running slackware 9.1 and have recently compiled the new 2.6.1 kernel on my system. Everything is working fine except my Alcatel speedtouch modem. I have this script to initialize my modem at startup:-

Code:

#!/bin/bash
modprobe usbcore
mount none /proc/bus/usb -t usbdevfs
modprobe usb_ohci
modprobe n_hdlc
/usr/local/sbin/modem_run -m -f /usr/local/sbin/mgmt.o
modprobe ppp_synctty
modprobe ppp_generic
pppd call adsl

This worked fine under slack 9.1 and 2.4.23 kernel. However now I get a couple of errors when this script is executed:-

FATAL: module usbcore is already in kernel
FATAL: module usb_ohci is not found

The alcatel modem still flashes and seems to connect, but it doesn't actually connect. I am pretty sure that all the ppp settings are correct as they are the same as before. I compiled all the correct modules into my kernel. The system recognises the usb modem fine suggesting that I have correctly compiled USB support into the kernel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tom.

It appears that maybe you compiled usbcore and usb_ohci into the kernel rather then compiling them as modules, so you don't need to load them. That is the likely cause of the FATAL messages. As for why it doesn't connect, I can't help you there.
