What kernel version are you using? > Is the kernel missing anything, or requiring some special ZTE-specific > customizations in your opinion? There is a new zte-specific driver in the 3.9 kernel release that should work for your device. We just got some patches merged that moved the device id from the option driver to the zte driver, which should resolve issues like the one you are seeing here (i.e. the wrong driver controlling the device.) Can you test the 3.10-rc5 kernel that comes out in a few days, or the next 3.9-stable release 3.9.6 should have the proper patches)? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
