Thanks for your response. Pertinent line from lsusb is, "Bus 001 Device 011: ID 22b8:a732 Motorola PCS". This is the correct phone so apparently it is seen on the usb bus.
Yep, so far so good. It communicates with the USB bus, and the USB database knows about it. Well, partially anyway.
From /usr/share/usb.ids:
22b8 Motorola PCS 0005 V.60c/V.60i GSM Phone 1005 T280e GSM/GPRS Phone 2821 T720 GSM Phone 2822 V.120e GSM Phone 3002 A835 GSM Phone 3802 C330/A780 GSM Phone 4002 A920/A925 UMTS Phone 4810 E398 Storage 4902 E398 GSM Phone 600c A768i GSM Phone 604c A780 GSM Phone (storage) 6631 CDC Modem 6604 Washington CDMA Phone You will note that there is no entry for a732, so the model isn't recognised. Check out http://www.linux-usb.org/ for how to add a new USB identifier.
It seems that once in the hoary past I had created a device for some thing or other, back in SuSE 6x or Mandrake 4.2 era, but darned if I have any idea where to go now.
Well, if you check this: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/search_res.php?pattern=motorola your phone doesn't seem to be listed - are you certain you have had this working in the past? I can't find any mention of the USB identifiers in the usb-storage module, but try loading it anyway - "modprobe usb-storage", and see what happens. When I hook up my Sony camera, I've got something like this in the dmesg output: usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 usb 3-1: new device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=0010 usb 3-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 3-1: Product: Sony DSC usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Sony usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 5 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered.
