and here i was so full of hope. my usb modem cannot be switched on or off because it is not even listed under lsusb properly

before plugging it in:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 125f:c95a A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd.
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 413c:2107 Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

after plugging it in:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 125f:c95a A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd.
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 1eb8:7f00
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 413c:2107 Dell Computer Corp.

the command lsusb -d 1eb8:7f00 doesn't return any result whatsoever

it is a working usb wimax modem, it does work on windows 7. here it is: http://web.modacom.co.kr/en/product/pro ... seq_id=531
it does say there on the third tab that linux is supported
is there something i could try?

thanks

the command lsusb -d 1eb8:7f00 doesn't return any result whatsoever

Try " lsusb -v -d 1eb8:7f00".

thank you for replying
i thought that "-v -d" was a more fancy version of "-d"
no nothing. nada
just another clean line for a new command appears right beneath

[tomas4687]

and i just checked it with another device, another usb-stick, simple data-traveler, - then it returns a clean result as it is supposed to

should i start panicking?

[Josh]

Maybe the Linux host driver has trouble initializing the device ...

After plugging in, run the "dmesg" command. Any clues?
