    Hello Matt,

    Be so kind not to post in html.

    Try googling. Look for instructions on how to use the kernel mode driver
    (in contrast to the user mode driver). You need to upload the firmware
    with modem_run, which is available in the speedbundle, but also in the
    user mode rpm available at
    http://www.ottolander.nl/opensource/speedtouch/speedtouch.html . I think
    the rpm you downloaded might be built on another distribution
    (Mandrake?). Note that for the kernel mode driver you do not need any of
    the other files from the rpm. Those are for use with the user mode
    driver only.

    Leonard.
