The blacklist is there to make sure the sierra.c driver, which is a serial driver, does not claim interfaces which are not serial. The USB descriptor for interface 9 contains bDeviceClass, bDeviceSubClass, etc, fields indicating it is a mass storage device, so the O/S will take care of it automatically. Other interfaces in that list are claimed by our new directIP driver which is coming to our KB page soon. > > which is what I managed to dig up in a few moments of googling.

Google can be a mischief maker sometimes. In this case it would have been better to search our KB site. I'll talk to tech support about whether it's time to pull down that offending page. That problem should be fixed in the coming week or so when we add a new page especially for the USB 306 and MC8700 modems. They both will use the direct IP driver and the sierra.c driver. NOTE, we are anxiously awaiting the approval of some 9 outstanding patches in 2 series. After that we have one more series of 3 patches to submit and then the kernel will be up-to-date with our KB page where you will find the driver version is 1.7.0 for kernels 2.6.20 and up. > > -- > Greg. Hi Greg, I've embedded some comments in the forerunning text. Some day I'll maybe get used to this "backward" email format :-) Regards, Rory -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
