LinuxQuestions.org - USB dongle on dreamplug (for sending SMS)

Hi, guys!

I'm doing experiments to send SMS with a USB dongle (huawei, just in case) on a dreamplug. First things first. When I connect the dongle to my x86 box, I get 3 new serial USB ports. Then I can use the first of these 3 new ports to send AT commands to the dongle (think of it as a modem). I tried the same thing with a beagleboard and the same thing happend... but I'm connecting the dongle to the dreamplug and I see stuff in dmesg about it but no serial devices that I could use to send the AT commands..... so, what do I have to do so that the serial ports do show up on the dreamplug? Do I have to use a different kernel? And if so, where can I see how to build/install it on the dreamplug?

Code:

# uname -a

# cat /etc/debian_version
