Laptop + Motorola V66i cellphone
Hi all, before buying a USB data cable for my cell phone (Motorola V66i) I googled a lot to see if I could use it with my SuSE 9.1 on my laptop (Dell m510) to navigate on Internet. I found on Tux Mobile (http://tuxmobil.org/phones_survey_motorola.html) an italian how-to to configure such a cell phone on a laptop (Slack 9.1). So I thought: "If it works on Slack it should work on SuSE too". But that was not true. Here is the result. Plugging the USB cable and the cell, the output of a "dmesg" is: drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core v2.0 usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using address 2 usb 3-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71 usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using address 3 usb 3-1: Product: Motorola Phone (V66i) usb 3-1: Manufacturer: Motorola Inc. This on the laptop. But doing the same thing on the home PC (same SuSE 9.1) the output is quite different: drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core v2.0 usb 1-4: new full speed USB device using address 2 usb 1-4: device not accepting address 2, error -110 usb 1-4: new full speed USB device using address 3 usb 1-4: Product: Motorola Phone (V66i) usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Motorola Inc. cdc_acm 1-4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device<6>usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters So I tried to configure it on the home PC. But when I query the modem (using KPPP) the answer is: "modem does not respond" (obviously I simlinked /dev/modem to /dev/ttyACM0). The output of lsusb command is: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 005: ID 22b8:1005 Motorola PCS T280e GSM/GPRS Phone Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 First question: why the different name of the phone between dmesg and lsusb? Second: is there anyone that can help me (if it is possible)? Bye emilio

Maybe somebody on one of the it.comp.linux newsgroups? At least you're more likely to find a TIM user who might have already done it. I'm curious why you didn't get one the PMCIA cards for the laptop? Wouldn't that have been easier then trying to deal with the phone? Nick
