[ubuntu-in] configuring Huawei WLL phone

[Moz]

Hi Ram,

As I have written before, I have ETS1201 phone, made by Huawei, 
distributed by BSNL for WLL voice and internet access. Every once in a 
while, it is impossible to configure it on linux, as shown by the 
following lines extracted from /var/log/messages. I unplugged the phone 
and replugged it many times, same message was displayed, and when I 
tried to dial it always said that /dev/ttyUSB0 did not exist or some 
such. But if I did ls /dev/ttyU*, both the interfaces did exist.

Then, as a matter of routine, I boot into my other partition which has 
Vista, and the Huawei drivers are installed there, the Huawei drivers 
can configure the phone without any problem. I connect once, and then 
when I reboot into linux, I can connect easily and right away. No 
problems. Following lines are extracted from /var/log/messages after I 
have booted into Vista once, and then boot into linux.

Perhaps you check your config and see what does it say about a SCSI 
device and whether the device is offlined. The SCSI device is a built in 
USB flash memory which contains the Windoze drivers which are installed 
automatically.
