After upgrade to 8.10 I got one nasty surprise - no internet connection at all. I was quite happy with my SpeedTouch 330 v4 USB modem, which had been working perfectly since Ubuntu 6.10 and even Windows 2000 before.
This issue was not mentioned in the release notes, but it was known (as I found too late) well before the official release. Seems, no one is really concerned about this.
So a couple of questions (actually help requests):
1. How to get SpeedTouch 330 working with Ubuntu 8.10 (I had to recover an ancient Windows to get on-line, so for any download I need an exact URI, not just "it is in repositories"). The modem itself seems to work fine, but there is no ppp0 device any more.
2. If 1. is impossible, how to degrade to 8.04 without breaking everything and starting from scratch.
Any help is very appreciated. Thanks.
