[Mageia-dev] Missing in Action - 3G F5521gw

Fri Aug 10 08:56:19 CEST 2012

+Since the latest kernel updates in Cauldron - I am no longer able to see
+my WAN modem again (Ericsson F5521gw)
+
+The solution below doesn't work either . . . 
+
+[root at ThinkFox rfox]# lsmod | grep cdc
+cdc_ncm                18345  0 
+usbnet                 36447  1 cdc_ncm
+cdc_wdm                18885  0 
+cdc_acm                28752  0 
+usbcore               212051  9
+btusb,uvcvideo,ehci_hcd,usbhid,usbnet,cdc_acm,cdc_ncm,cdc_wdm,xhci_hcd
+[root at ThinkFox rfox]# mount -n -t usbfs -o
+devmode=0664,devgid=43 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
+mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist
+
+Looks like /proc/bus/ doesn't have usb anymore:
+[root at ThinkFox rfox]# ls /proc/bus/
+input/ pci/
+
+Should I raise a bug?
+
+Thx,
+R.Fox
