[Bug 4424] New: modem speedtouch USB don't work on amd64 with kernel 2.6.12-rc1

[Duncan Sands]

This change was discussed some time ago on the usbatm list -
David Woodhouse didn't like it IIRC, but perhaps he has changed
his mind?  I think his main objection to "select" was that it is
hard to work out just who is selecting a given option (but doesn't
menuconfig tell you that?).
