hi mate,
I had to download and install eject..
it works fine, as my normal cd drive ejected.. but if I eject my dongle,
nothing happens as far as dmesg is concerned
I added USB-ACM (I think its called) in kernel, the was another USB modem
option the "USB MODEM--->" but when
I selected it, the menu screen was empty. Any ideas what I could be missing?
