Welcome to the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Management application.


1. Introduction

This software is licensed under the license provided in the LICENSE file.
To install this software you will need to download the hotplugging package
(see later) and you will need root privileges.


2. Standard Installation

This section only deals with the installation of this package.
Full installation information can be found in the HOWTO:

  http://linux-usb.sourceforge.org/SpeedTouch/howto.html

First, you will need to install the hotplugging package.
You can find it at:

 http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/

Documentation on how to install this is provided there.
After installing the hotplug package, execute:

 make

Then become root and type :

 make install

Note: you can do "make help" for a list of all targets.

IMPORTANT:
  You will also need to download and compile the kernel module for
  this software to work!  The kernel module is a separate package 
  because it is distributed under a different license.
  You can download the latest kernel module at:

  http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/


3. Troubleshooting Information.

The application needs the usbdevfs filesystem. If this is not present 
or NOT MOUNTED to /proc/bus/usb/ it will fail.
If you use the application without the hotplugging package, the 
application will also exit if there is no SpeedTouch USB modem found.
Also, be sure to install this AFTER the hotplugging package because this
installation needs to register itself in the hotplugging configuration.
(It adjusts /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap )

The object was compiled with egcs-2.91.66 and libc-2.1.92
The make environment will warn you if you use a different egcs version.
This does not necessarily mean the application will not work.

enjoy!
