Re: Weird External Serial-USB Modem Error

ya thats right, there are other  modules

usbcore
ohci_hcd
etc.
but when i do a modprobe with the usbserial module with the product
and vendor id, then only the /dev/ttyUSB0 device files are being
created which i use in the dial program. even the cdc-acm module is
not working in this case. it is not recognizing the module as an ACM
device. Maybe the manufacurer does not have ACM support for this. I am
still facing a problem though. when i disconnect the connection frm
the dial program , the modem does not hang up. so i cant redial
without rebooting OS. I tried removing the modules and killing pppd
etc, but still that does not work out..


regards,
Umesh
