Hy anyone,

I have installed on my PC (P4 2GHz, 512 MB) the mandrake 9.2: my problen is
the ADSL modem (Aethra Starmodem).
The chipset of the modem is Globespam and then I used driver eciadsl (vers.
0.8, the stabile version) downloaded in tar.gz format and configurated with
the folow parameters:

VPI: 8
VCI: 35
Sync.bin.:synch01.bin
Tipo modem: Aethra Starmodem
Protocollo di trasmissione: RFC2364
DNS: 62.211.75.53
             62.211.75.54

When I try to start my ADSL connection:

# startmodem | tee log.txt

setting up USB support (1/5)..

loading OHCI support

/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/host/usb-ohci.o.gz:
init_module: No such device

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/host/usb-ohci.o.gz failed
