Alcatel Speedtouch USB ADSL modem

[Andrew Pritchard <andrew@teppic.co.uk>]

Has anyone managed to get this working under Debian in the UK?

I've got a client who wants an ADSL connection. I'd love to use Linux, 
preferably Debian. However all the instructions I've seen are for RH. I've tried 
following the instructions, but I fall almost at the first hurdle when I try and 
patch the kernel with the pppoatm patch. I'm using the bunk 2.4.9 kernel. Do I 
need to apply that patch for a kernel that is as up to date as this?

Cheers,

Andrew
