It doesn't even appear (the hardware is shut down). When modprobing the hcf* stuff, the modem gets woken up and briefly appears as a USB device - until the kernel spits an oops milliseconds later (using 2.6.4+ kernels, at least). >I though it was the I/O device controller which was reponsible for the >serial "appearance" of the modem, not the software.
