Hi All,

REZERO is a utility in development, supplied "as is" by Option. In combination with udev scripts it can be used to disable the ZeroCD temporarily at run time.

This utility works differently to the excellent usb_modeswitch, it supports only the Option devices and it will support multiple Option devices.

I have tested this utility on Suse 10.3 and Ubunto and it works very well for me.

the rezero code is GPL and most parts are from Heiko Eissfeld_ http://www.linuxhaven.de/dlhp/HOWTO/DE-SCSI-Programmierung-HOWTO.html

To use:

Hello,

are you sure you should set a user and a password, it seems it don't accept the login.

Whate you can do is to use another script to connect because the connect.sh is not robust at all. I think I read something about gnome-ppp which was working on /dev/ttyHS3

Hi all,

There's some great work here, so thanks for giving me hope that I might get the icon225 working.

I've installed hs0-udev.tar.gz although my kernel is different, 2.6.22-14-generic
as I'm using xubuntu on my eeePC. This of course doesn't work when I plug the modem in:

[ 112.136000] hso: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
[ 112.136000] hso: version magic '2.6.21.4-eeepc mod_unload PENTIUMM ' should be '2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload 586 '

Could someone point me in the right direction to get this working.

Thanks

Hi Cie,

You need to compile the hso.ko module for your version of the kernel. To compile the driver you need the make utility and the kernel development packages for that version of the kernel.

If you want to compile rezero you will also need to install the libc6 development package as well.

Cheers,
Paul
