Problem connectiong with WS-806 CDMA usb modem in fedora 8?
 

hi,
i have fedora 8 and want to use WS-806 CDMA usb modem to connect to the internet but doesn't work i read a tutorial and this is what i did:
First i loaded the cdc_acm module and add to the /rc.d/rc.local to load at boot next i did /sbin/lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f2:b016 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0951:1607 Kingston Technology
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
this is the usb port with which the usb modem is attached:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.
then i created a file Cygnal_Integrated.options and put it in the /etc/modprobe.d to laod at boot time, this is the file contents:
alias usb:v10C4pEA60* usbserial
options usbserial vendor=0x10c4 product=0xea60
after reboot i did:
dmesg | grep usb:

But after all that the wvdialconf didn't get connect to the modem and this is the errors:
#wvdialconf wvdial.conf
Editing `wvdial.conf'.

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3
WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.

ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?

any one can help please?

I have the same kind of problem. The fedora 8 detects the usb ports and says like "full speed USB................." but it doesnt shows the modem connected to it like /tty/usb0 or others whatever. How can I configure my computer that recognizes the cdma modem? I am using ZTE's WP805A CDMA fixed phone in Nepal.

Thanks in advance, and I request, please any one help me, I am absolutely new in the universe of Linux Operating System.

Thank you again.

I use same kind of phone both for windows and fedora and i don't have any problem in both. The only things you have to select is serial port from the option. Becareful, after browing session is disconnected from fedora it wouldn't work easily work in windows XP. you have to reboot the phone again for using in windows XP.
