1)Download script from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=68502
2)Extract the .tar.gz file to your home directory (Right click and click extract) (or other directory, it's just easier to find in home!)
3)Download mgmt.o from http://www.sprinkles.me.uk/mgmt.o
4) place file in home/speedtouch-conf/firmware
5)open a konsole (its a blue box with a white border with some gold lines on the panel)
6)type su
7)Type in your root password (if you haven't set one yet, click the button next to the start applications button, click root shell and type passwd
type cd speedtouch-conf
9)type [b] sh speedtouch.sh
10) enter information (username password etc. for your isp)
11) Hopefully, Enjoy The Net!

Note to mod: I think this was supposed to be posted in hardware, if it's in the wrong forum can yo move it please - thanks.


Thanks. This howto seems to work on my hd install knoppix. But when I try to connect it says something like:
"Error 237. Another device/program is already accesing the modem"

I am very newbie. Any suggestion?
