Re: [opensuse] Modem working on openSuSE 10.2
Yes, you have right, the usb modem is mounted on sdb-sde on my PC. None of them seems to respond when connecting using minicom. I am not familiar working with modems, but I expect some welcome message when the modem is initialized. Looking at /var/log/messages when connecting the modem I get the following lines: Dec 28 21:32:25 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Dec 28 21:32:32 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 Dec 28 21:32:32 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice It seems to me that the modem is not recognized.
