Description of problem:
I have a Nokia N73 lying around wihch I want to use to send alert smses from our monitoring system to admins. Previously the phone was doing the job fine on a debian machine with gnokii, so I have a working config. On RedHat 5.3 however, same phone with same gnokii config doesn't work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5
udev udev-095-14.19.el5
gnokii-0.6.27-2.el5
Anything else relevant?

How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug phone into usb
2. try to send sms with gnokii
3. observe messages

  
Actual results:

gnokii says:

etc.

Expected results:
phone should get configured with ttyACM0 serial port accessible and gnokii should be able to send messages over it.


Additional info:
Debian box that the phone was previously on also runs kernel 2.6.18, namely 2.6.18-6-686. If they don't have some special tweaks to their usb, I suspect they do some magic in udev.
Googling for this error hints that the cause might be mixup of ohci and ehci. RHEL seems to load all three by default. How do I force only one to load?
