Hi Guldo, I assume you are using the kernel mode driver (kernel module) and not the user mode driver (pppoa2, pppoa3). For that you need to compile the kernel module.

It works the same as the module in 2.4.22 and later. This module was originally only available outside the kernel tree (it can be found for example in the speedbundle on http://linux-usb.sf.net/SpeedTouch). Now that it is in the kernel tree it is pointless to compile it in the speedbundle (and it doesn't work right now for 2.6 kernels). Just turn it on in your kernel .config and recompile your kernel.

Well, you still need to turn on ATM support etc, but there is no need to patch the kernel for example.

With
CONFIG_USB_SPEEDTOUCH=m
at least.
