[SLUG] Installing a USB modem in Redhat Linux

[Ken Zhai]

Hi there:     I have a NetComm Roadster II 56 usb modem and would like to install it in Redhat 7.0.  I have recompiled the kernel (2.2.17-22),selected SUPPOR for USB modem with "make menuconfig", also I have made the nodes(ttyACM*),apperently 4 of them.  But it's still not working since I am not quite sure where to go next to actually link the modem with the nodes(/dev/usb/ttyACM*), someone suggested to change the /proc/bus/usb/devices file to "drive=acm", I attemped but it turned out to be a read-only file.  So could anyone help me to solve this problem???                                   Thanks a lot                                                       Ken
