Hi skunks(ettes), While @debian, I was used to ttyUSB0...9 wherever i plug in a modem to the usb ports, Now @centos I get a parade of all these devices with none of them showimg any responsibility usbdev1.1_ep81 usbdev2.1_ep00 usbdev2.1_ep81 usbdev2.2_ep00 usbdev2.2_ep04 usbdev2.2_ep83 usbdev3.1_ep00 usbdev3.1_ep81 usbdev4.1_ep00 usbdev4.1_ep81 usbdev5.1_ep00 usbdev5.1_ep81 usbdev5.3_ep00 usbdev5.3_ep01 usbdev5.3_ep81 No *Responsibility* in that if I cat /dev/usbdev* All i get is *[ocampo@(Hague dev]# cat usbdev* cat: usbdev1.1_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev1.1_ep81: No such device or address cat: usbdev2.1_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev2.1_ep81: No such device or address cat: usbdev2.2_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev2.2_ep04: No such device or address cat: usbdev2.2_ep83: No such device or address cat: usbdev3.1_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev3.1_ep81: No such device or address cat: usbdev4.1_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev4.1_ep81: No such device or address cat: usbdev5.1_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev5.1_ep81: No such device or address cat: usbdev5.3_ep00: No such device or address cat: usbdev5.3_ep01: No such device or address cat: usbdev5.3_ep81: No such device or address * my lsusb gives Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12d1:1003 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 005 Device 003: ID 12d1:1003 Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 I tried to look at udev i.e ruels.d (50-rules.d) and it was too much for me to handle How do i get my usbmodems to be read as serial or the ttyUSB way, are there software converters or has anyone come across this challenge? please help... I've sat here too long... @erick njenga ... may be you could pass me a script to train my udev .... Even a clever google phrase is welcome Thanks all in advance. *_______________________________________________________________ its ok child, He's heard you *
What are you doing with the modem?
When inserting and removing the cable (USB?), do *dmesg* on cli you will know the tty your modem was installed on - hope i answered the right qn? Wilson. On 16 December 2010 09:14, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

@deis -> sms & net @Thuo, thats the problem, doesnt disp;ay the modem as ttyUSB but as usbdev* but none of them takes any AT . Just as i femonstrated with cat, tried usb_mode switch but the symlink to /dev/modem seemed to fail continually *_______________________________________________________________ its ok child, He's heard you * On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 2:08 AM, Thuo Wilson <lixton@gmail.com> wrote:

But the current Linux Kernel and GnomePPP seem to have good support for this modems? or you need software for the cards? https://forge.betavine.net/frs/?group_id=12
@denis The prob I have is, udev recognizes the devices alright, and lsusb gives the correct ID, my woe is that it lists them as usbdev* in /dev (in centos5,) all of which seem to be false identifiers / paths when i try an AT on them or a simple cat /dev/usbdev* this way You cant make use of the modems either for net or sms. Thus I tried the mod_switch, some variants would this way force me to drop mass storage [4 wvdial] and also fail to place the right path as directed in udev.... my q is thus whether thereis a workaround, either to match the dev ID to a knowm path eg /dev/modem without compromising gsm/gprs ..... or this distro iko shida Thanks *_______________________________________________________________ its ok child, He's heard you * On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 8:57 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, Wvdial uses Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Well, Wvdial uses Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 It would only use /dev/ttyUSB0 if the modem is mapped as ttyUSB0 in the /dev list. it could also be ttyUSB1. ttyS0, *ACM0 but the device itself should be on your dev list, thats the reason for the conf file, Av already gottten rid of Centos, Back to debian tough i'd av prefered centos by far only if I didnt have to spend 8hrs on some 50.udev.rules and still come out twice as mad.... Thanks a lot for your input denis, guess I try it over xmass for sme kick *_______________________________________________________________ its ok child, He's heard you * On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
