I filed this bug report last night:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172083


   http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/fedora/

   After following the instructions for getting a Thompson/Alcatel
   Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem running under Fedora Core 4, the system
   functions correctly, connects just fine and runs without problems.

   After using the system/connection for a while, when I use "dmesg" I
   find occasional error messages in the log:

      ATM dev 0: error -110 fetching device status

   However, this does not appear to stop the ADSL modem from working
   normally (and the device functions apparently perfectly under Windows
   98SE also). I'm working under the  (naive) assumption that is a
   non-critical bug in the speedtouch driver and reporting it, although I
   do realise this report doesn't narrow things down much. :)


... the advice given is that "-110 is a timeout" and to keep an eye on
/proc/slabinfo for relevant growth. Can anyone:

1. Let me know if you've seen this error yourself 

2. What should I be looking for in /proc/slabinfo? At the moment I'm just
planning to cat /proc/slabinfo >dayX and then see what I can see on Friday.

Thanks.
