Sorry, I had a quit look on your script and there are still problems:
- where is this speedtouchconfig tool you mentioned?

Exactly. Impossible. Read the LICENSE:

If, and only if they would allow to distribute the tarball
(encapsulated into a Debian package), I could imagine that we could
put this package into Debian/non-free with a postinst script that only
extracts the needed firmware and maybe some documentation from the

What is the license? I looked after it, but there is no license file,
and three source files do not have a copyright notice with GPL, but
fortunately the rest seems to GPLed. And I like this software
somehow... one could build a fine Debian package (and so Knoppix
package) from this driver suite, since it is completely in userspace and
accompanies the pppoe tool and so may work as backend of pppoeconf. If
you wish to debianise eciadsl, I could help you.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
