I am using a Reliance CDMA mobile and USB connection,to connect to the web using Win XP on my laptop.When I connect it using Linux, the phone immediately switches off. Can anyone advise why this is and how to solve the problem so that I can connect to the Internet with Linux also.
jayakrishnan, thks fr yr post. But I cannot try what u suggest if the phone keeps switching off,immediately after reconnection.This does not happen with Win XP.
I cannot understand why the phone switches off.I have tried with other linux machines with redhat liux 4 enterprise,kernel:2.6.9.5 EL.
/var/log/messages: shows that all 3 USB ports were connected and then all 3 USB ports were disconnected.
