First sorry for the delayed reply But the Serial to USB modem works under 7.04 and 7.10 (i think) but definitely not under 8.04 (hardy). So am reopening the bug.
Ok how it works under 7.04 is that i have been making a rules file under /etc/udev/rules.d the file is called 026_ti_usb_3410.rules with the following contents #TI USB 3410 SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410" \ SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2" \ SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" \ RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'" *** doing this make the OS attach the serial to USB modem to /dev/ttyusb0 and my wvdial work. I upgraded to 7.10 and this continued to work but i tried to make the same work under 8.04 and this same process does not work. Am not sure if its an 8.04 problem only or if a tweak is required somewhere. my wvdial file looks like this [Dialer Defaults] [Dialer 92] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 230400 Phone = #777 Init1 = ATZ Stupid Mode = 1 Dial Command = ATDT Username = XXXX Password = xxxxx PPPD Options = crtcts multilink usepeerdns lock defaultroute **** So right now i am back at 7.04 and accessing the internet on the FWT thanks ram ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Ubuntu 6.06 does not properly recognize serial to usb modem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
