Have you tried using usb_modeswitch? Unfortunately there is not a package in Debian Lenny, so you'd have to compile it.

I think that an USB modem won't show up as a serial port. Check out your /dev subtree for the actual name of your modem, and then put that into the appropriate field of your application. Plugging and unplugging the USB modem may help you in locating the actual device name used in /dev. -- Cheerio, Klistvud http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com Certifiable Loonix User #481801 Please reply to the list, not to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As a general rule, with hardware problems it's usually worth booting the latest Knoppix or Ubuntu or both from a live CD, and picking over the logs. Both are based on Debian, though not Lenny, most hardware will work and the results will usually help. If the problem is a driver that Lenny doesn't have, as is quite likely, then Google may well throw up a solution for an old Ubuntu version which can be used in Lenny. In particular, Liam Green-Hughes' site http://www.greenhughes.com/ is quite useful for mobile broadband issues. That's where I found usb_modeswitch for a Huawei/ZTE dongle before it got into the Ubuntu and now Debian repositories. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

As Daniel alredy pointed out, you need usb_modeswitch to get your stick detected as an USB modem (/dev/ttyUSB0) and wvdial can manage it. The package was proposed to be added in backports but still not there, only at the maintainer's repo, not sure if these are working fine/at all (not tested) :-? http://alioth.debian.org/~odyx-guest/debian/lenny-backports/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
