[Gllug] green thing...and beer?

[Alex Marchwiak (Leming/Onslaught)]

Hiya... I definately got enough...cant run this bloody green Alcatel at all.
Ive checked all those howtos and everything seems to be alright for me but when I plug it in, keeps on saying 

kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3
kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 1614
kernel: usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110)
kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4
kernel: usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x6b9/0x4061) is not claimed by any active driver.

and in /var/log/messages it says

Oct 13 15:17:46 tech3 Speedmgmt[10188]: Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Management daemon started.

Maybe Im handicapped or so, but it really gets on my nerves...Im just stuck at this point, and no idea what to do next.... using Mandrake 8.1 ... does anyone fancy couple of beers, for little help with this bloody thing?? I live in Hayes/Bromley ... somebody help me... What shall I buy Stella, Guiness, or Fosters? Ive got some vodka in the freezer aswell...;)

desperate Alex...
