Howdy vital
 
I fear you've picked probably the most bothersome ADSL-modem for linux one could imagine. According to this document (PDF) there is no linux-support for the PCI version. All the internet has to offer are howtos according the USB-version.
 
Other sources meanwhile indicate it's possible to utilize the "mgmt.o"-management module of the USB version for the PCI-card as well. The common denominator for all these references is: "The Speed Touch PC-card is a p*** in the a** to set up under linux." And according to Alcatel's lousy and nosey driver-download page I can only subscribe to that.
 
So ... no solution to offer, but a tip: Trade the card for some decent external modem. Should only be a couple of EUROs/$$$.

Hi vital! Glad to have you over!
 
An external ADSL modem is likely gonna perform better for you anyway. Check out some of these.
