I have tired asking intelligent questions on this site but what seams like most of the time I get little response. I guess that must be because I am trying to figure it out and the people that read my posts figure I don't need any help or encouragement. It is ether that or the questions I am asking are a lot dumber than I think they are.
But lets stay positive.
I am done venting now.
I have a new Motorokr Z6m cell phone that I am trying to tether to my laptop to provide internet service via EVDO. I have 4 computers that will do this with the Motorola E815. # dmesg | tail shows that the phone is seen when I plug it in but no driver is loaded for it.
Searching has revealed that the Z6m is not yet supported in the cdc-acm driver. I am running Debian Testing 64. The lappy is using the 2.6.25 kernel and not the most recent one because of the whole nvidia graphics thing. I have tried to use the phone on my server that is using Testing 32 with the 2.6.26 kernel and it does not recognize the phone either. Haven't tried the kernel from Sid.
I have looked and not found anywhere that I can post a request for the developers to include support for the Z6m. I have also not found any clue as to who the developers of the cdc-acm module even are so that I can send them a request for support.
I am even willing to test the patch that would give that support. I can roll my own kernel and all that.
Are you ready for my stupid question now?
Since these developers don't seam to exist how does the kernel get improved? Just kidding.
Really, how do I go about contacting these developers, through the correct channels of course, to request support for the Z6m?
