ti_usb_3410_5052 problem with etch

Hi,
     I used CDMA phone to connect Internet. With sarge (kernel 2.6.8) it worked fine with ti_usb_3410_5052 and wvdial. But with Debian etch it gives an error saying

ti_usb_3410_5052 probe failed with error -5

I think I have missed some kernel parameters, just a wild guess, any clues please?

thanks,
Dinesh
