usb speedtouch modem with 2.10

[linux <linux@networkingnewsletter.org.uk>]

anybody got their Speedtouch USB modem working under 2.10 'unstable' post 
recent updates (eg new udev and Xorg)? care to talk us through it? I know 
we have to unroll udev to an earlier version but there I am stuck.

is the speedtch module stuff still in 2.10 unstable kernel (not quite what 
mean but there used to be 'pre-2.10 you need to mess with firmware, 2.10 on 
you don't)?

thanks, michael
