Nokia N80 in usb-storage mode on SuSE Linux 10.0
Hi all, I recently acquired a Nokia N80 ( mobile phone ). I found out that the phone would not work as a usb-storage device on SuSE 10.0. After googgling few times, I found a patch that was applied to the 2.6.17.x kernel. I had to try it on SuSE10.0 Kernel - It did not work directly but, almost. I Just had to rewrite the patch for SuSE10.0 and it worked. This email is just for that if any user wants to make Nokia N80 work as usb-storage device, he/she just has to apply the kernel patch and recompile the kernel modules. Hope it helps someone... -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/

Don't forget to post it and the fixed patch to susewiki. That way kernel org etc can make it part of all linux. CWSIV
