FC2 and Alcatel Speedtouch

[Christoph Kiefer]

Hi,
Until now I could not manage to properly set up my Alcatel Speedtouch
USB ADSL modem (the green manta modem).

I have tried the method explained here:
http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/fc2_speedtouch_usb.html

and many others found on the net. 

But it did not work. My kernel version is 2.6.5.
I have also properly set up the provider information (vci, vpi etc.). 

There is always the following error when connecting:
...
LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
...
... and so on.

Anybody out there who made the same experiences with the Alcatel
Speedtouch ADSL modem and FC2?

Regrads,
Christoph
