First, I suggest you try the latest drivers, if you haven't already, (see http://www.xsproject.org/speedtouch/) The modem lights going off completely though sounds like it's the old problem of the speedtouch drawing too much current from the usb ports - they pull more than the recommended maximum, and some chipsets detect this and shut the port down to prevent overload. Try running the modem though a powered usb hub, or try a plug in pci usb card of different make. (both these worked for me.) This is the same problem whatever OS and software you use If nothing there helps, you can try asking on the speedtouch mailing list - subscription details on that same web page above.
