Hi,

I've been looking in Google, and asking for help in some forums but I still don't have a solution for my problem. I've got a Thomson (or Alcatel?... never mind) silver SpeedTouch USB modem. It works fine in Windows (as you can see :P ), but my Mandrake doesn't detect it at all:

The SpeedTouchConf script exits with an error:
Quote:
modem_run failed (code 253) Modem not found where expected.


hotplug is running in my system.
Only the red USB light on the modem flashes in Linux.

I have almost none additional packages installed on Linux and the default kernel which comes with the MDK 10.0 Official distribution.

Someone help me, please smile
