This looks interesting, where did you get this info and does it tell you 
what the file name(s) should be?

OK, but this info is about a user mode driver. Is the kernel mode driver 
that has turned up in 2.6.9 broken?

There seems to be many different setup scripts and how-to pages for this 
modem. Plus loads of questions out there.

I now have the kernel source package and find that the config option for 
the SpeedTouch driver is missing even though the source is there. So I'm 
wondering how the speedtch.ko that ships with the 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 kernel 
got there!

I currently have the modem working (sometimes) with a user mode driver, 
but the kernel mode driver seems to try and load the firmware as well 
but isn't very helpful with error messages.
