kernel 2.6.8 and extern USB modem


Hello !

I have Mandrake 10.1 community with 2.6.8 kernel and extern USB modem netMod. I found several posts about this problem but none of them solved this thing.
There is a manual (from official website) for installation but for 2.4 kernel and as far as I've seen it is quite different from 2.6 installation.

Here is what I've done (from beginning):

-cat /proc/usb/devices - gives me all needed info - so USB netMod is recognized and USB lamp on device is turned on

- lsusb -returned Bus 003 Device 004 ID 0bf1:0001 Intracom S.A - Intracom is my netMod

- modprobe cdc-acm - (in manual is modprobe acm but I think this is the command for the new 2.6 kernel)

- lsmod -displays "usbcore 107396 6 cdc-acm,usbhid,ehci-hdc,uhci-hcd" amongst other things...

Now I have the problem :
In KPPP in listed devices there is no /dev/ttyACM0 (like before in Fedora C1 krnl 2.4 for example) but /dev/usb/ttyACM0 (although /dev/usb/ DOESN'T EXIST on the hd).
Anyway, I tried

-mknode /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0

and

-mknode /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0

and none gave the results - KPPP -> query modem -> MODEM NOT FOUND !
I tried EVERYTHING (ttyACM0, ACM1, /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 ........)
NONE recognized netMod.
I managed to connect it via serial port (which is buggy and slow) and KPPP works normal but USB - no !
Any solution PLEASE !!!!

Anyone have a answer to the above problem? I'm having the same issues. But in my case I'm running MDK 10.1 and trying to get my GSM/GRPS phone to work.

Me too - sheesh!

I have the Open NT1 - Plus II USB ISDN modem, and I am having identical problems with 2.6.x kernels. I was using 2.4.x with MDK 9.2 and it worked flawlessy. This is almost unacceptable for a point release of an OS.

Just wondering if you solved this problem as it was a year since your post.

Ive tried all the things you listed as well. Im running fedora core 3 with a 2.6.9 Kernel and the Netcomm AM5050 rev3 (which used to work fine after a mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0 under 2.4 Kernels, just like you found)

I used the usbview command and both my USB modem and the USB scanner show up in (with all their details) in RED! Other USB devices like my printer are not shown in RED so it appears my modules are loaded correctly at some level (at least for some devices i suppose).

I would appreciate any help on this :-)
