I am trying to get my v220 connected to mandriva through moto4lin. It is listed as supported but what ever I try it will not connect. I have set the device configuration as /dev/ttyACM0 as in the howto's. I am thinking it could be the usb cable that is the problem, it is the one off my hp printer, are there different types of mini usb cables, or are they all the same.
Here are some messages that may shed light on the problem:

As you can see the phone is recognised, but maybe there is a problem mounting???

any ideas??

Got it !!!

needed: modprobe cdc_acm as root

then I did p2ktest as root

and then started moto4lin and changed acm device to /dev/ttya

now will try and get it working without root privilages
