only the last 2 lines from /var/log/messages come after running "speedmgmt", 
the first 2 lines where from boot/startup.

Comment 2 Kay Sievers 2005-09-23 15:24:49 UTC

Sorry, no idea. The "Speedmgmt" program is binary-only, right?

Comment 3 michel munnix 2005-09-25 20:14:26 UTC

Yes, it is a binary only firmware loader with firmware included in the binary,
the version I used and worked well with suse9.3 was 1.3.4

After searching a bit, I found this page helpfull:
http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/suse/index.html
after installing speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin in /lib/firmware/, the
firmware loads OK.

But in Yast / network devices / DSL my modem is not detected.
Should I submit it as new bug ?

Comment 4 Kay Sievers 2005-09-26 13:05:14 UTC

Yes, you may try this. Closing this bug, cause udev/hotplug seems not the issue.
