make menuconfig -> usb dsl support

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 ?

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.
