Hello all, I got a Reliance Netconnect USB CDMA modem. They gave me a Huawei EC-121. I am trying to get it work in my Ubuntu Hardy laprop, but no success yet.
---------------As soon as I plug in, this what dmesg shows : <snip> [ 95.755347] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [ 99.240856] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 99.392502] usbcore: registered new interface driver libusual [ 99.411583] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Then, I unmount whatever that was mounded like a CD-ROM. And then, from lsusb, I get the vendor id and product id and : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo modprobe -v usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1411 [sudo] password for prasanna: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1411 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg <snip> [ 122.181673] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [ 122.181702] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic [ 122.181733] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 122.181736] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Most of the writeups on the net shows that dmesg itself will show /dev/ttyUSB0 created.
