Johann, Thanks for forwarding this on to us. Huawei folks, The patch was originally accepted (on December 2006) because it was the only way to get the modem side of the device to work. See the first 4 emails in this thread: http://marc.info/?t=116387161600001&r=1&w=2 Then, in March, Rui Santos wrote to say this patch should be removed noting that you can use *both* parts of the device with the following software: http://www.kanoistika.sk/bobovsky/archiv/umts/ I responded back saying I was OK removing it but I was hoping to get confirmation from someone that the specified method worked _prior_ to removing the patch. See the last 2 emails in the above thread. I emailed Johann and asked him to test Rui's solution before I removed the patch. That said, I'm happy to remove it if you can confirm that the software referenced above does in fact work in linux to allow a user to access both parts of the device, or if you as the manufacture have some other way for linux users to access the modem half of the device. > It's great that someone from Huawei now cares about the Linux-World :) Indeed. > quote from http://www.linux-usb.org/ > The Linux-USB subsystem maintainer is Greg Kroah-Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greg is indeed the USB maintainer, Matthew Dharm is the USB-Storage maintainer, and I'm the maintainer for unusual_devs.h.
