It seems to depend on kernel version. With 2.6.2[1|2] I'm using option.ko without any problems: Aug 15 13:48:25 mars option 3-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected Aug 15 13:48:25 mars usb 3-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUS B0 Aug 15 13:48:25 mars Device driver ttyUSB0 lacks bus and class support for being resumed. Aug 15 13:48:25 mars option 3-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected Aug 15 13:48:25 mars usb 3-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUS B1 Aug 15 13:48:25 mars Device driver ttyUSB1 lacks bus and class support for being resumed. I use umtsmon (http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net) which supports XU870 when starting with '--serial /dev/ttyUSB0'. -- Michael Gisbers http://www.lugor.de
