Yes, Greg asked me for this output and I sent it to him, this way he told me it should work with the cdc-acm module, but no, he said nothing about the Sub=03 issue... > > > I've tried to modprobe cdc-acm but I can't see any > /dev/ttyACM or > > anything similar.

I've got no idea, I don't know that much about the inners of any modem driver/mode.... That's why I asked for help :O. I'm not that knowleageble of drivers and such... PS: I add Greg to the CC, in case he missed the Sub=03 thing. In case it where so "easy" as to add the "Sub=03" somewhere, where should it be added? HAL? The kernel? Thanks for your help!
