I think this is the problem: AFAIK, the kind of modem that is supported by cdc-acm should have Class 02, Subclass 02, Protocol between 01 and 06. This Apple device does not seem to identify itself as USB_CDC_SUBCLASS_ACM. (I do not know what Subclass 03 is.)

Did you send the above output to Greg KH? Did he comment on the Sub=03 issue? > I've tried to modprobe cdc-acm but I can't see any /dev/ttyACM or > anything similar. So I presume the module does not work for this modem. Does this modem maybe have different modes of operation, can it be configured by a switch or by an Apple-specific configuration program to be ACM compatible? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
