GSM modem on linux(Ubuntu server)
hi! guys!.. i am developing now a SMS System which can forward a announcement messages to my customer, as of now my system is stabled except for one modem i had and i decide to replace it in a new modem, now i have a Edge modem (Philips TalkTalk SNU5630NS/05 Wireless Adapter). The problem is when i plug it it detects only the storage of modem which is i don't need because storage contain driver which is function only on windows system, what i need is the location of modem device so that i can put it in to my sms configuration. thanks!..
this is the dmesg i have.

You probably want to get the very latest kernel for largest choice of drivers

Hi! duncan_roe thanks for your reply, i have already usb driver uhci_hcd. uhci_hcd driver is for modem usb driver may i right? Modem driver already modprobe but i cant see the Modem device location why is it that the Cdrom/storage only detect?. i have Linux kernel 2.6.27-11-server (its ubuntu 8.10 server). I tried dmesg and this what i get.

uhci_hcd & uhci_hcd are low-level drivers for all USB devices. For modem you need to have usbserial. Please post output from the 2 commands below:

You are missing usbserial.ko in the output from ls -Fx command above. Without that, you are never going to detect USB serial devices, such as modems. If you tell me you have another USB modem working on that system then you prove me wrong - but I'm pretty sure you don't.
Do you have the source that your kernel was built from? If so, you should be able to build usbserial.ko quite easily. Have you configured a kernel before?

Just checked 2.6.29.1 source - the module is renamed usb_serial. It is possible that the module is built in to the kernel. However this is not recommended if using the Generic Serial Driver - from its Help in "make xconfig":
"Say Y here if you want to use the generic USB serial driver. Please
read <file:Documentation/usb/us b-serial.t xt> for more information on
using this driver. It is recommended that the "USB Serial converter
support" be compiled as a module for this driver to be used
properly.
You might want to try the generic USB serial driver if your USB chip is otherwise unsupported. From file:Documentation/usb/usb -serial.tx t:
"Generic Serial driver
If your device is not one of the above listed devices, compatible with
the above models, you can try out the "generic" interface. This
interface does not provide any type of control messages sent to the
device, and does not support any kind of device flow control. All that
is required of your device is that it has at least one bulk in endpoint,
or one bulk out endpoint.
To enable the generic driver to recognize your device, build the driver
as a module and load it by the following invocation:
insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x####
where the #### is replaced with the hex representation of your device's
vendor id and product id.
This driver has been successfully used to connect to the NetChip USB
development board, providing a way to develop USB firmware without
having to write a custom driver.

Many thanks duncan_roe you are so generous.. Yah i have another modem and it's running find, only my newer modem have problem.. and maybe you are right.. you said that i need to build a usb serial?.. but how? and i never tried configure linux kernel.. but i am willing to learn.
Sounds like you must have usb-serial built in then (when the source is usb-, the module is usually called usb_). The first thing you need to do is ensure you have the source from which your Linux kernel was built. Failing that, just get the latest one from ftp.kernel.org. You'll need to configure it in that case. You could fetch an older kernel (say the latest point rev of what you have now) - that has less potential problems to configure - potential increases the older your current kernel is - but a new kernel may have better drivers.
The best way to configure is to find the configuration file for your current kernel and use that as a starting point. In the source tree itself, it's called ".config" (a hidden file). With luck, you will have a copy of that somewhere - possibly actually in the source tree if you have it (use ls -A to see it). Failing that, there may be a file /proc/config.gz (it's a configuration option to create that). Red Hat has a configs directory in /usr/src/linux. Some distros put a copy of .config in /boot with a name like config_$(uname -r).
Have a look round your system and post back with what you find. Do you have your kernel's source? Have you found the config?
Also please post the output from:
uname -a

i cant find my .conf in my ubuntu... and i think i have latest ubuntu kernel.. look at this..
uname -a
Linux filsat 2.6.27-11-server #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:53:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Lin
uname -a
Linux filsat 2.6.27-11-server #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:53:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Lin
That's quite new for a distribution. The latest kernel is 2.6.29.2 released 27th April. You might have some luck from "locate config" - that will bring up a huge list but the file you want might be in there.
I have just downloaded 2.6.29.2 and, compared with my current 2.6.25.4 kernel, there are a *lot* of new USB drivers.
If you are going to embark on configuring a kernel without a previous .config, I definitely recommend going for the newest one.
Meanwhile, try to get more information about you USB device:
- does lspci show any extra detail?
- is there more in /var/log/debug than there is in dmesg (unplug and replug the modem & check any files in /var/log that get updated)
- is there a sticker on or underneath the modem with any extra details?
To give you an idea of what to look for, here are some extracts from new help screens in "make xconfig":
USB Winchiphead CH341 Single Port Serial Driver (USB_SERIAL_CH341)
USB Infinity USB Unlimited Phoenix Driver (USB_SERIAL_IUU) Say Y here if you want to use a IUU in phoenix mode and get an extra ttyUSBx device. More information available on http://eczema.ecze.com/iuu_phoenix.html
USB Keyspan USA-xxx Serial Driver (USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN) Say Y here if you want to use Keyspan USB to serial converter devices. This driver makes use of Keyspan's official firmware and was developed with their support. You must also include firmware to support your particular device(s). See <http://misc.nu/hugh/keyspan.html> for more information.
***NB lots of firmware alternatives follow, some of them mutually exclusive
USB Motorola Phone modem driver (USB_SERIAL_MOTOROLA)
USB Ours Technology Inc. OTi-6858 USB To RS232 Bridge Controller (USB_SERIAL_OTI6858)
USB SPCP8x5 USB To Serial Driver (USB_SERIAL_SPCP8X5)
USB HP4x Calculators support (USB_SERIAL_HP4X)
It's really bizarre that usb_serial is not built as a module - that is not an option at 2.6.29.2 (choice is module or nothing)

After building 2.6.29.2, fiund out the module is still called usbserial.ko, despite the name of the source file having changed
My bad re: "It's really bizarre that usb_serial is not built as a module - that is not an option at 2.6.29.2 (choice is module or nothing)". If you have configured "USB support (USB_SUPPORT)" to be built-in, then you can configure "USB Serial Converter support (USB_SERIAL)" to be built-in also. That looks like what Ubuntu has done - it would almost classify as a bug.
If you would like to have a shot at configuring your kernel, here's a way:
Do you have patch-2.6.29.2.tar.bz2 or linux-2.6.29.2.tar.bz2? (or tar.gz). The patch file is against linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2. You can either fetch that, or forget about patching and fetch linux-2.6.29.2.tar.bz2.
Let's say you have only got the patch file and you are going to patch. That has the advantage that you can ypdate to future point revs of 2.6.29 by simply fetching the patch files:
- Fetch linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2
- (continued in code snippet)
"make defconfig" builds a large kernel with lots of stuff built in that you will never want. But it's practically guaranteed to be able to boot on your hardware without the need for an initial ram disk (initrd), which is an extra complication you simply don't want to worry about as a beginner.
When you type "make xconfig", you get a GUI screen. Scroll down until you see "USB support" in the left-hand panel. Click the empty square box next to "USB Serial Converter support". A black dot appears - this is what you want. If you click again, a tick appears - this means "build in to kernel" whereas the dot means "build as a module". So click twice more to get the dot back. (sometimes a tick means "feature selected" when there is no actual corresponding code, as is the case for "USB support").
While USB Serial Converter support is selected, a number of drivers appear in the top right-hand panel. Select all of these to be modules, except the Firmware drivers for USB Keyspan USA-xxx Serial Driver (unless you know you have it and which one you want).
File / Save anfd file / Quit. Type "make", ror, to keep a record, "make 2>&1 | tee hee"
Sorry I have to go now - let me know how you get on

# Fetch linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2 (by whatever method you used for patch file), say to /usr/gz/linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2
# Unpack linux:
cd /usr/src
tar -xjf /usr/gz/linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.29
bzcat /usr/gz/patch-2.6.29.2.tar.bz2 | patch -p1
# You should see a list of lines like "Hunk xxx succeeeded at yyy" and no errors or warnings
# ename directory so you know what's happening
cd ..
mv linux-2.6.29 linux-2.6.29.2
cd linux-2.6.29.2
# The next line gets you a default .config to work on
make defconfig
# Tailor this as described in main panel
make xconfig

Hi!.. duncan_roe i have now kernel linux-2.6.29.2. During my compilation I encountered problem which is I cant use make depend command error said that:
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
*** Warning: make depend is unnecessary now.
Command I used:
make defconfig
Make menuconfig (coz my system is text base so i did not used make xconfig)
Make oldconfig
Make depend (I stuck up here)
Here is my screen shot:

thanks a lot, but my only problem now is i can't bulid image like initrd.img-2.6.27-11becuas e i want to build initrd.img-2.6.29-2. i tried comand yaird -o initrd.img-2.6.29.2 2.6.29.2 but error occurred:
yaird error: bad device link in /sys/block/sda (fatal)
initrd.img-2.6.29.2 is need for my grub boot loader.. thanks again ^_^
