If the kernel recognizes a new device then the proper module(s) will be loaded (if they are available) and udev will create the necessary device nodes in /dev/. For fully supported devices this should all happen automatically. If a device is not well supported then it can be very difficult, or even impossible, to get it to work. > Do you know what that driver or module that I need to load for Cingular 8125 > ? Unfortunately not. I just grepped for "cingular" in my kernel source directory and I did not get any hits. We would probably have to know what the relevant chipset or interface standard is called, but I have no clue about mobile phones (I don't own one), so I do not even know where to begin here. > I have loaded usbserial...but nothing happened...or at least i do not know > if anything happened..nothing was referenced that was usefull. Do you know > where I can check? I am not sure if this was already covered earlier in this thread: Plug the phone into the USB port, switch the phone on, wait for a few seconds and then run "lsusb" and "lsusb -t". Post the output of these two commands and we will know more. (An important indicator is whether your system recognizes the vendor and product ID number of the device.) > Does anyone know a Cellphone from ATT that can work with debian...so I can > use it with a sms text messeging program ??? > > I guess the phone would have to have a usb cable...Does anyone know of one > please????????????please??????? > > > thanks > mjh -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
