[gentoo-user] Connecting a Motorola C380 mobile via USB

[Digby Tarvin]

Hi,

My post from yesterday seems to have disappeared into the ether, so
I'll try again - appologies if this is eventually repeated...

I would like to connect a mobile phone (Motorolo C380) with USB connector
to my gentoo system so as to give me both mobile Internet access and
also the ability to access phonebook, images, audio etc stored on the
phone.

When I connect the phone, the /proc/bus/usb/devices file shows:
 T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  8 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.
 S:  Product=Motorola Phone (C380)
 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

and /var/log/messages shows:
 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8

Although attempring to disconnect and reconnect typically returns
something like
 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

Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of thing?
I have emerged gnokii which so far has not recognised anything as
being connected. Not sure if it is compatability issue or a
configuration issue.

Also have emerged libusb, but I really need to find some more
documentation on USB interfaces to tackle cobbling anything together
with that.

Thanks,
DigbyT
