I was caught up in a few things. I tried unloading the ehci_hcd on the laptop on which this modem is working. However, there is nothing coming up in either dmesg or usbmon output on plugging in the modem. In fact, even the lsusb command fails with the following output: $ lsusb unable to initialize libusb: -99 Just to clarify, ohci_hcd was loaded all this while. -OBD -- 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
