This means the 3G USB wireless modem has not been switched out of USB storage mode into modem mode. The design process works like this; - manufacturers invent new devices with new USB product and vendor identifiers, these can be shown in the /var/log/messages that Jerry has asked for, - kernel maintainers add these product and vendor identifiers to the kernel driver for the USB device, - a new kernel is released and installed, _or_ the user may be able to add the product and vendor identifiers to the new_id sysfs file for the device driver, _or_ the USB mode switch utility might be used (depending on the age of the kernel), - the icon changes shape, and has a Connect option instead of Remove. For example, on a laptop here, my notes show I once had to do this: echo '0x16d8 0x6280' > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id and then plug in the modem again. So find the USB product and vendor identifiers, try using them, and consider a kernel upgrade. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
