Hmm… poor, I am not yet ready to recompile kernel.
Tonight I have plugged a usb HSUPA modem to the EEEpc. The bad news (again) is I cannot probe it as usual. Actually that’s not a great problem. I can see:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID: 1410:4400
So I can get it on /dev/bus/usb/002/005
Ugly is when you want to probe, you see this…
$ modprobe usbserial vendor=0×1410 product=0×4400
usbserial: Unkown parameter ‘vendor’
$ echo $*@#(%@$(%&$@(&%…
$*@#(%@$(%&$@(&%…
It means at least I have to turn on CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC and recompile kernel.
After checking an unofficial kernel config, it seems I am right ….
I think I am brave and ignorant as usual. Now I am …. compiling 2.6.23.1 ( not 2.6.21.4 as shown by uname -r ).
Why don’t me change to other Distro, say ubuntu ?…. I don’t know, perhaps Xandros can survive the new, my friends can have a look at the original setting. And I can jump to something BSD ….
