Sayno Cell Phone As Modem
I recently installed Fedora core 4 on my zd7000 laptop. After some help from a friend we recompiled my kernel 2.6.11 and got the phone working as a modem fine using the default Network GUI. We just didn't know how the hell we did it. I've since upgraded to kernel 2.6.14 and it is again not working. This is what my var/log/messages is outputting:

My hardware browser shows that i'm using the Sanyo phone 4900 driver (comes with kernel), which is what it was set to when it was working under the different kernel. I changed my kernel config to set pretty much everything USB (this is how the phone is connected) as a module, then recompiled.
Anybody have an insight on this?
I'm still pretty new to linux, so be gentle on me...

it could still be a driver issue.
and what do you mean it 'came with the kernel'?
was it built into it? if so, that sounds odd since the kernel is so small, that it would have something that trival (but somewhat unique) in it.
hunt for a newer/better driver-- maybe someone is working on one since that fon is prol popular.
good luck.

by build into the kernel i meant i didn't install anything into it, there is an option in the kernel config that i believe includes the driver, but it doesn't specifically mention it. I'm pretty sure that there is no driver for it as i've looked around a bit. If there is one, it has illuded me thus far. And it WAS working with the 2.5.11 kernel after a lot of hair ripping.
thanks

Stop pulling your hair out!
ok i see what you mean, it came as a module.
well if you had it working with the previous kernel, which wasn't that much different, i would think you could do it again.
dont' give up looking for a dedicated driver-- esp. from alternative sources.
and make sure you have all apropriate USB (system) drivers intalled.
just because it 'sees' it, doesnt' mean the usb system is working correctly for this hardware item (i know, duh).
i just saw something recently on another thread, with a usb 'soundcard'.. and after much hair pulling also, the guy made sure uhci-hcd was installed (and loaded) and wa-la, it worked.
this is what he did:
uhci-hcd (modprobe -v uhci-hcd)
sooo i guess either make sure uhci-hcd is installed correctly, or whatever other relative usb (modules) and or driver is also.
i guess we are not JUST looking at the actual driver that is for that fon (since you actually have one that 'seems' close enuff)-- until you stumble accross it anyways.
let us know.

I had another look around...still seems to be no driver to be found. I did play around with the commands you were talking about (modprobe -v uhci-hcd). It didn't initially work because i didn't have it as a modules if i remember correctly. However, I recompiled a few times with differernt configurations dealing with USB. I changed everything to modules and enabled ehci, but still no difference. I've googled the "Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid argument" but come up with a bunch of crap about IR. There must be something...
