Description Deepak Sarda 2005-08-28 13:27:57 UTC

I have a Motorola e680 phone which has a modem mode that works over USB. It uses
a Belcarra USB LAN driver under kernel 2.4 with which one can connect to the phone. 

Recently, a driver/fix for usblan was merged with the mainline kernel. 
http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blobdiff;h=1748159e462e7b86c5f1827abc96263d95b854de;hp=0eefc14449aa01749246eddf4482e52b0f898028

Hence, it is now possible to use this phone in a 'plug and play' fashion with
the new kernel. E.g.: http://pashkovsky.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=20
According to that reporter, the phone works out of the box on Fedora Core 4.

I have tried the same on SUSE beta3 but no drivers get loaded for the phone.

On connecting the phone, output from /var/log/messages:
kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

Output of lsusb:
calvin@dungeon:~> lsusb
Duplicate product spec at line 2453 product 0846:4240 WG111 WiFi
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 22b8:3802 Motorola PCS C330/A780 GSM Phone
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

But the device isn't associated with any driver and no /dev/ttyACM0 device is
created. I think it should either use cdc-acm or usbnet device.. not sure though. 

I am trying to get access to a Fedora Core 4 system and see how things work
there. Will update this report then.

Comment 1 Deepak Sarda 2005-08-30 14:21:12 UTC

Okay, experimenting a bit more, I was able to telnet to my phone :-) This is how
it worked:

1) Put the phone into modem mode and connect it to the usb port.
2) This causes the event (in /var/log/messages)
kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
3) Then 'modprobe cdc_acm' This creates /dev/ttyACM0
 kernel: cdc_acm 2-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver cdc_acm
 kernel: drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c: v0.23:USB Abstract Control Model driver
for USB modems and ISDN adapters
4) Now I set the phone in usblan mode. This is done by "echo 'at+mode=99' >
/dev/ttyACM0" This mode is specific to this phone, afaik. Why the phone goes
into usblan mode:
 kernel: usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
 kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
5) Then I load the usbnet module: 'modprobe usbnet' 
 kernel: usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, pseudo-MDLM (BLAN) device,
ee:b7:58:5c:97:50
 kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbnet
6) As soon as usb0 device was created, yast came up and offered to configure the
interface. I did and now I can telnet to the phone.

> ifconfig usb0
usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr EE:B7:58:5C:97:50
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::ecb7:58ff:fe5c:9750/64 Scope:Link
          
I don't know how much of this could or should be automated.. at least the
autoloading of 'cdc_acm'?

Thanks.

Comment 2 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-08-31 18:00:33 UTC

What does /proc/bus/usb/devices show when your phone is first plugged in?

Comment 4 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-10-06 17:16:55 UTC

Yes, the cdc-acm driver should have been loaded automatically when the device
was plugged in.  Please test the final version of 10.0 and reopen if this still
happens there.

Comment 5 Ihno Krumreich 2005-10-18 00:23:52 UTC

Closed.

Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-10-18 04:49:32 UTC

Closed why?  This is a kernel bug...

Comment 7 Deepak Sarda 2005-10-18 05:14:16 UTC

Sorry, I couldn't update with a test on 10.0 final... haven't been running 10.0 :-) Will try to install 10.0 this weekend and update this report.

Comment 8 Deepak Sarda 2005-12-06 12:40:44 UTC

FWIW, this is what happens on 10.0 Final. It is identical to my last report from  10.0 Beta3

1. On connecting phone, event (from /var/log/messages):
kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4

2. Output of /proc/bus/usb/devices:

6. Yast hardware detection comes up offering to configure the network interface.

Comment 9 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-12-09 01:46:18 UTC

module should be loaded properly in the 10.1 kernel (or the updated 10 kernel), this was a kernel bug that is now fixed.

Comment 10 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-12-09 01:46:42 UTC

fixed
