I did a modprobe on usb-serial and ftdi_sio and they both load great...after loading what am i suppose to see? Should it say ttyUSB0 device ready or somehting like that ? The strange thing is that i have a bluetooth dongle --that is in one of th usb ports..and that works ..b/c i am able to hook it up to my phone. I am further able to connect to it with rfcomm. It looks like i can take the modem off the hook..but I am at a dead end there..because i can not reference the device in Kannel. my dmesg looks like this: drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USBSerial Device usbcore: registered new driver ftdi_sio drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: v1.4.3:USB FTDI Serial Converters Driver and my lsusb looks like this: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bb4:0bce High Tech Computer Corp. Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d49:5020 Maxtor Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 and my lsmod looks like this: usbserial 39152 1 ftdi_sio hci_usb 22812 2 bluetooth 61572 7 rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb usb_storage 87616 1 scsi_mod 153008 3 sd_mod,libata,usb_storage ide_core 147584 5 ide_generic,ide_cd,usb_storage,generic,amd74xx and my lusb -t looks like this: rider:~# lsusb -t Bus# 2 `-Dev# 1 Vendor 0x0000 Product 0x0000 |-Dev# 2 Vendor 0x0a12 Product 0x0001 `-Dev# 3 Vendor 0x0bb4 Product 0x0bce Bus# 1 `-Dev# 1 Vendor 0x0000 Product 0x0000 `-Dev# 4 Vendor 0x0d49 Product 0x5020 where would it tell me that the phone is this this ttty* device??? thanks mjh
