After reading the Alcatel/OSS documentation (
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/howto.html )Im not really
sure how to do this, but I you should be able to download the Alcatel
drivers, untar them, make, make install. Then download the kernel mode
driver (
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3581&release_id=50410 ) untar, 
make, make install.

They say you need some SAR library that has to be manually edited to
point to you kernel config file, then fails because it uses a depricated
include. If you feel lucky try downloading from here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22221&release_id=41564

The go to They speak a lot about making sure hotplug works ( which I
think is now standard in 8.0 ), and something about pppd which I dont
understand at all. Basically I don't think a non-hacker could install
this driver setup, and if I were you I'd complain loudly to Alcatel that
you are a paying customer who want decent Linux drivers, and demand that
they service you. :)
