I really sorry, this is a patch to 2.6.16 and this kernel version works
well the speedtouch driver.
I have problems with 2.6.17 and the speedtocuh driver block the
conection at some point that i can't locate.

wave:~# atmdiag
Itf TX_okay TX_err RX_okay RX_err RX_drop
0 AAL0 0 0 0 0 0
AAL5 266537 0 198023 1 0

RX cells don't increment, AFAIK the driver don't manage incoming ATM cells

How i can dig more into this issue in order to extract relevant
information for a bug report?.

Best Regards
Juampe.
