ADSL modem Drivers for Linux

ADSL modem drivers for Linux

Alcatel Speedtouch USB

The drivers are included from Linux Mandrake 9.1 onwards, you can use darkconnect to install them during installation of the OS or from the Mandrake Control Center.
Don't download the mgmt.o file from the Alcatel web site as the Mandrake installer says, instead get it from the CD provided with your modem, it's in the drivers directory, and copy the file alcaudsl.sys to /usr/share/speedtouch and rename it mgmt.o (You can also download a copy of this file from here, It comes from the driver CD provided with the modem)
To connect, reboot and as root run net_monitor, it will probably say the connection is failed, this is just a net_monitor bug, just wait 30-40 seconds and your computer will be on line. To end the connection just click on the disconnect icon of net_monitor
To manually connect from a shell, run, as root
modem_run -m -f /usr/share/speedtouch/mgmt.o && pppd call adsl
