Help? cdc_acm won't recognize SLVR L7c.

[aburton]

Is there something that can be done about this? I'd go into the source and add the product id myself, but I don't know how. It's really frustrating to me that my phone loads trivially in windows, but won't in ubuntu. Help please!

try bitpim for linux cdma

[aburton]

Bitpim requires cdc_acm in order to work, so I'm not sure what you're suggesting.

Hmm. Spent some time wading through Linux forums, and I don't see an answer, quick or involved. Looks like you may be out of luck unless you can get in there and trial and error some sort of solution...

run as root tail -f /var/log/messages

now insert your phone and check the log.
below is mine when the phone is in data mode

check if u have cdc_acm in ur kernel.

[aburton]

Right, but you have an L7i, and I have an L7c, which hasn't been added to cdc_acm yet. Is there a fix for this?

[poetic_folly]

I'd go into the source and add the product id myself, but I don't know how.

You mean you could but you don't know the phone's info, or you mean you don't know how to modify the source?

[aburton]

I don't know how to modify the source. I hear it's a huge pain.

[marsmissions]

cdc_acm is a kernel module. im pretty sure modifying it will require a full recompile of the kernel, which could take hours depending on your machine.

[aburton]

I've compiled my kernel before, and it doesn't take that long if you know what you're doing. I just don't know how to edit the module.

actually it can take that long, it doen't matter if you know what you're doing. old processors take a long time to compile things sometimes, the linux kernel is pretty big.

[joydeep]

I really don't know what to suggest here as I am not a kernel module expert. but you can try luck installing the Live linux cd designed for mobile phone. it has kmobile, moto4lin etc.... if that works for you then you have to investigate the kernel module etc... in that live cd and try to collect those and compile your kernel accordingly. good luck.

did you ever get your phone to work?
