[NTLUG:Discuss] Any idea how to get aSprintEVDOwirelessbroadband card to

[David Trusty]

Here is what I am seeing:

# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
cat: /proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory

In this kernel, it appears that the devices are shown here:

# ls -laF /sys/bus/usb/devices
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Jul 20 12:56 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 1-0:1.0 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-0:1.0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 2-0:1.0 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-0:1.0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 2-2 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 2-2:1.0 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 usb1 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 20 17:56 usb2 -> 
../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/

I have not been able to find any difference in the usb devices under /sys 
before/after
the card is inserted.

Also, usbview complains because there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

David
