Nokia 3220 PC Connections

Hi guys,

I apologize that I have to posted this topic here... I am not sure if I should posted on laptop and Handheld or Hardware.

I just bought CA-42 USB DAta cable to connect my NOKIA 3220 to my Linux box. (Suse 10.0).

My questions is:

do I need to specify any driver? or Suse 10.0 has already preinstall and configure the driver to be able to plug and play like windows... My Camera USB plug in work just like plug and play at MS Windows.

I trying to find some information and I found the following website below:

Do I need to download the driver and configure manually?

Thank you in advance

Hi--
I was wondering where you found the driver, I can't find it anywhere and I have a pocketful of pictures I'm trying to upload.
Thanks!

The driver (pl2303) is already in the 2.6 kernel. You can check if the cable is recognized by plugging it in to your USB port.

Before you plug it in, type in a terminal:

Code:

 tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages

Plug in the cable (without the phone attached) and see what the output in terminal is

This is my output

Code:
