No one is laughing

here is your problem though

sudo cp speedtch.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/atm/
sudo chown root:root 
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/atm/speedtch.ko
sudo chmod 644 
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/atm/speedtch.ko

sudo cp speedtch /lib/firmware
sudo cp speedtch-1.bin /lib/firmware
sudo cp speedtch-2.bin /lib/firmware
sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/speedtch
sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin
sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/speedtch-2.bin
sudo chmod 640 /lib/firmware/speedtch
sudo chmod 640 /lib/firmware/speedtch-1.bin


1.) that kernel module your copying is built against an older kernel/headers etc
2.) that kernel module your copying is build against a 32bit kernel

I don't know the situation with the firmware, but I suspect you'll need kernel specific versions for solid compatability.
