Alcatel USB DSL modem XP problem
Im getting a Driver_irq_notless_orEqual error with Alcan5wn. sys Its a known problem with this modem and Windows XP. The solution posed is to use the PPP over Ethernet drivers instead of the PPPoA ones.

Problem is that the isp im using (BT internet) wont support PPPoE, and the modem can never make a connection. Which means that i have to use the PPPoA drivers.
Are there any other ways of making this thing work?

When you say the other modem do you mean the BT ADSL Router! If yes it works perfect, no software to load and even retains the username and password dont need to connect ether if the routers powered on it's connected it's that simple. I have got mine hooked up to a Intel pro 100 network card nice.

A friend of mine is a supervisor for BT. He had a few spare. I needed it because Alcatel support for Linux was poor. This is the model http://www.efficient.com/products/routband.html I flashed it and and got rid of the BT stuff, and now its not a bad little router.

Well things kinda got out of hand there on the end... I get the same BSOD about "irq not less than or equal" upon every shut down.
I use XP aswell but I have a totally different ISP (namely Bostrteam) and I have a external ADSL modem that doesn't use any drivers.. My comp never shuts down because of the problem. Only thing that happens is that when i choos to shut down my comp, i get the BSOD... Any thoughts?
