Did you apply the patch
http://www.nemohackers.org/speedtouch/modem_run.diff ? Note that after
applying that patch modem_run is unusable with the original SpeedTouch
(blue) USB and (burgundy) 330 modems.

Yes you do. That is what the messages says. The kernel mode driver seems
not to work yet with the 330 Rev.4. You will need to use the user mode
driver for now. To achieve that you have to move the kernel mode driver
out of the way.

For as far as the pppd part is concerned, no. But you need to disable
hotplugging so the kernel driver does not get loaded.

You are probably one of the pioneers ;-) . That modem_run patch is brand
new. If you want answers get your butt over to speedtouch at ml.free.fr
(subscribe info at
http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/contacts.en.html ).

No need to reinstall. Just make sure the kernel mode driver is out of
the way.

Bye,
Leonard.
