[gentoo-user] USB mobile phone connection..

[Digby Tarvin]

Looking for anyone that can offer advice on connecting a Motorola C380
mobile phone to my gentoo Linux system via the USB interface.

When I connect the phone, I see the following in /var/log/messages:
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

A disconnect and reconnect produces:
 usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Any idea what the error messages indicate, and should I be worried about
them? Is it normal that the addresses appear to be monotonically
increasing with each successive connect?

While connected, /proc/bus/usb/devices contains:
 T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  7 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
 D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
 P:  Vendor=22b8 ProdID=4902 Rev= 0.01
 S:  Manufacturer=Motorola Inc.

 C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 20mA
 I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=(none)
 E:  Ad=89(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  16 Ivl=10ms
 I:  If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
 E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  32 Ivl=0ms
 E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  32 Ivl=0ms

I have tried emerge'ing gnoki, but it doesn't seem to succeed in
connecting, but perhaps there is some configuration that I havn't
stumbled across yet.

anyone have any experience or suggestions on what to try with this?

Thanks,
DigbyT
