 Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 4:55 pm Post subject: Option 3G-Quad Card Not Treated as USB |
 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to use a Option 3G-Quad (not Fusion) card in a Debian testing, with kernel 2.6.16.
Since in my kernel CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m, I write:
| Code: | | modprobe usbserial vendor=0xaf0 product=0x6300 |
and then insert the card.. I get:
| Code: | # cardctl status
Socket 0: 3.3V CardBus card
function 0: [ready]
function 1: [ready]
# cardctl config
Socket 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V
interface type is "cardbus"
irq 177 [exclusive] [level]
function 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V
interface type is "cardbus"
irq 177 [exclusive] [level]
function 0:
# cardctl ident
Socket 0: no product info available
# cardctl info
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255 |
so card seems to be working. However, no /dev/ttUSB* nodes are created, and lsusb doesn't show new USB's in the system.
I have added "pci=assign-busses" to the kernel boot and even created nodes manually with no result.
Perhaps the product code (0x6300) is not adequate to this model? Please, I would be very grateful if you could give me any hint.
Thanks.
Oscar. |

Are you sure it is a USBserial device?
What did
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
tell you about it?
Modern kernels have the product IDs of the Option 3G USB based cards included in the "option" driver and they are detected automatically. If that driver is not present then the USBserial drivers should work.
Cheers,
Paul |

I have checked the card with a Ubuntu Live-CD (which uses kernel 2.6.17). After running modprobe option the card is correctly detected, and four /dev/ttyUSB* are created. So I suppose I have to update my kernel which is now 2.6.16
