md300 usb wireless modem
I have bought a wireless modem to use with my eee 900, namely a sony ericson
MD300.
At first, it is recognized by debian kernel 2.6.26 as a storage device.
Following information gathered on the web, I created a rule file under
/etc/udev/rules.d/ with the following content:
ACTION!="add", GOTO="3G_End"
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="d0cf", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="modem3G-%n", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo 3 >
/sys/%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"
LABEL="3G_End"
The 'echo 3' command seems to make the black magic, and the card is
recognized as an ACM device, and now it is working fine as a modem.
However, the usb device has several interfaces and endpoints:
gapski@kalma:~$ cat
/sys/class/usb_device/usbdev2.1/device/2-1/2-1\:3.*/interface
S_WHCM

and those give a bunch of kernel errors:

and so on.
Can someone point me to the right direction to understand these errors and
complete the configuration of this card? Although it is working, I would
like to correctly configure the other card endpoints (besides the modem) to
access its features, such as usb ethernet device and gsm information (signal
strength and connection type).
Look forward to hearing from you,
Pedro
