Description of problem: kernel does not recognize my Samsung SPH-A500 as a modem (as it did in FC1), instead it identifies it as a "Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter". It then attaches the device to ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttyUSB2 and ttyUSB3 instead of ttyACM0. If I try to use any of the aforementioned ttyUSB* to connect via pppd the driver (visor) reports that the "Device lied about number of ports, please use a lower one." and proceeds to disconnect the "Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter". I can't access the PCS phone/modem via ttyACM0, hence I cannot go online. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.5-1.358 How reproducible: Except for the first time I connected the PCS phone/modem after upgrading to FC2 it has always done it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect the PCS phone/modem to the USB port 2. run dmesg or view /var/log/messages 3. Actual results: usbcore registers the PCS phone using the visor driver. Cannot use the PCS phone as a modem. Expected results: For usbcore to register the PCS phone using cdc_acm driver and attach it to ttyACM*; To be able to use the PCS phone as modem (as I did with FC1). Additional info: To make sure that neither the phone nor usb cable were not the culprits I tested them on a desktop running RH9. I ran dmesg, saw that it was attached to ttyACM0 and was able to connect to the Internet (using redhat-config-network).
Created attachment 100444 [details] system log (/var/log/messages) The PCS phone was first attached after the upgrade May 17 22:18:13. It was the the only time that it was attached correctly.
any improvement with teh 2.6.9 based update ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
