Cool! Makes sense now. >> the USB mode switch utility might be used. How? Please remember I am totally new to how Sugar and GNome work together. I will catch up but right now, what I need to know is >> echo '0x16d8 0x6280' > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id is it in the Sugar Terminal activity or in GNome ? >> add the product and vendor identifiers to the new_id sysfs file for the device driver Is the sysfs file the same as sysconfig file ?(in the attached file at the beginning of this mail thread) I am still on my Windows laptop and will switch to the XO once I disconnect the 3G dongle from this laptop.
