Thanks for all the advice.
I am trying to get my Motorola e815 cell phone to access the web via EVDO and data cable or bluetooth in Lenny. I have it working in vista, but I had to get the drivers from the Motorola Developers site. They don't sell the vista drivers. Only for 2000 and xp are included in the $74 cd & data cable kit.
System info:
hp dv 9000 series
64bit debian testing (lenny) mostly up to date
6.2.21amd64 kernel
kde (used exclusively)
gnome
kppp **
kmobile tools **
bluetooth (deamon & obex server & client) works fine with phone
kandy mobile phone tool **
** Have tried to access the phone with these without success.
I suspect that I am not pointing the app at the correct /dev/??. I am not sure that I even have, or need to have a driver for the Motorola E815. I have googled for a linux driver and seen no indication that one exists. I know that I don't need one to access the phone via bluetooth for file transfers and what not.
My directory structure shows character devices in /dev/bus/usb/001 and /002 When I plug the phones usb data cable a new character shows up in /dev/bus/usb/002/(currently)006.
Code:
diff /proc/bus/usb/devices devices | grep Vendor
< P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
< P: Vendor=22b8 ProdID=2a62 Rev= 0.01
> P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06
> P: Vendor=0a5c ProdID=4500 Rev= 1.00
> P: Vendor=0a5c ProdID=2100 Rev= 1.00
Code:
# modprobe usbserial Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000
FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.21-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

It seams that the correct module is being installed when I connect the data cable. This leads me back to the idea that I am not setting up the app correctly.
The instructions hear
http://www.linux.com/articles/52729 say that I should have a file /dev/ttyACM0 but I don't. The file structure I have dosen't line up with the listings avalible in kppp to set up a modem. The listings in kppp are not changeable unless it is done in a config some where. I have not searched that out yet.
This is several hours later and a reboot and when I pluged in my data cable I am back to having /dev/bus/usb/001/005 as a new entry after connecting the phone.
Although I can change the setting to /dev/bus/usb/001/005 setting in kmobiletools I can't access the phone to cause it to dial out or anything else.
I get no response out of kandy either.
When I connect to the phone via bluetooth I can see that the phone has a dialout feature listed but when I try to launch it I get:
Code:
Open 'sdp://[00:19:c0:1c...ne&rfcommchannel=8'?
Type: Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking Profile
open with results in:
Code:
Could not stat sdp://[00:19:c0:1c:ef:6b]/params?name=motorola%20phone&rfcommchannel=8. Unknown device
if I try to save it I get:
Code:
is a folder, but a file was expected.
As previously stated file transfer seams to work fine in bluetooth.
When I plug in my bluetooth adapter 4 new character devices show up in /dev/bus/usb/001/***.
After initializing the adapter with:
Code:
# hciconfig hci0 reset
and
I lose 2 of those character devices but can access the phone.
Konqueror reports the url of the phone when connected via bluetooth as sdp://motorola phone/ but I don't know how to turn that into a device listing I can use to cause the phone to dial out.
Later again:
Starting the computer with the phone pluged in resulted in:
Code:
# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 22b8:2a62 Motorola PCS
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Code:
# dmesg
cdc_acm 1-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.25:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters
So it seams that a driver is being installed for the phone.
Still don't know how to access the dial out feature. Would really like to get it to work because I don't like booting to vista just to surf and check email.
I have done a fair amount of google but haven't found much to help me get set up correctly.
Any information/pointers/ideas would be much apprecieated.
Thanks to all. Even if you only read my post.
