It seems that there is some sort of race condition. I was able to get the usb-storage driver to work, but it still seems to crash. I wrote a basic script to rmmod all the related device drivers, then load them up in a specific order, with a sleep statement.
Here is the script: ===== cut ======== rmmod usb_storage rmmod option rmmod usbserial echo "sleeping for 2 seconds to let the drivers unload...." && sleep 2 modprobe option echo "sleeping for 2 seconds to make usb_storage detect the storage device..." && sleep 2 && echo "done sleeping" modprobe usb_storage ===== cut ======== If I set the sleep time to 10 seconds, the usb_storage device isn't detected. If I take out the "sleep 2", then the usb_storage device isn't detected either. So it seems there needs to be a delay after the "option" module is loaded in order for usb_storage to see the storage device. What doesn't make sense is that if you wait more than 10 seconds after the "option" driver is loaded, then usb_storage can't see the storage device. Here is dmesg (something is still crashing): r...@rgarcia-desktop:/# dmesg [ 5023.686339] usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb-storage [ 5023.743112] usbcore: deregistering interface driver option [ 5023.743346] option1 ttyUSB1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1 [ 5023.743393] option 1-3:1.1: device disconnected [ 5023.743622] option1 ttyUSB0: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 5023.743667] option 1-3:1.0: device disconnected [ 5023.743703] USB Serial deregistering driver GSM modem (1-port) [ 5023.751374] usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbserial_generic [ 5023.751434] USB Serial deregistering driver generic [ 5023.751474] usbcore: deregistering interface driver usbserial [ 5025.783499] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [ 5025.783541] USB Serial support registered for generic [ 5025.783643] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 5025.783650] usbserial: USB Serial Driver core [ 5025.794128] USB Serial support registered for GSM modem (1-port) [ 5025.794228] option 1-3:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected [ 5025.794466] usb 1-3: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 5025.794494] option 1-3:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected [ 5025.794620] usb 1-3: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1 [ 5025.794674] usbcore: registered new interface driver option [ 5025.794680] option: v0.7.2:USB Driver for GSM modems [ 5027.847140] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
