Hello there!
I would ask you all to do a make menuconfig, go to device drivers -> usb
support -> usb dsl support
If you do a search (/speedtouch) you will find that there should be an
option there.
Why is that empty ? I know that some kernel versions ago it had support
for an alcatel modem that i have in order to do the proper firmware
loading and had full support for that modem.
What happened?
Should this section be removed from the kernel options ?
If that is the case, can i remove it and submit a patch ?
Waiting for feedback.

Try enabling CONFIG_ATM and I think the driver option for the usb dsl
divers will come back :)
Hint, in the future, just search for the option and it will show you the
dependancies in the help file (for menuconfig, use '/' to search).
hope this helps,

Okey my error.
But as a "standard behaviour", instead of entering in the usb dls
support and showing a blank screen, shouldn't only stay in the same
screen? I'm asking this because this is the "standard behaviour" that i
see in the other options and it confused me a little bit.

Possibly, if you don't like the way this works, I suggest you send a
patch to the Kconfig files to the maintainer of the driver.
thanks,
