Drivers to look out for include airprime and option. In that case you may well be able to see details about the device in the output of dmesg or lshal. Some devices won't be found by the lsusb command above, but will be known to one of the kernel drivers.

When you're pretty sure you know the vendor and product IDs, try talking to it with the usbserial driver (see the instructions for devices that aren't detected below) and see if it responds sensibly to a probe. You just have to know what it is, identify it by elimination (ie you know what every other device is), etc. Note that the Dell built-in modem was not detected, because it doesn't use the standard CDC ACM descriptors.
Which gives you the vendor and product IDs (0421 and 04f0 respectively) as well as a few other handy details.

You may be able to find it using lsusb -vvv (run as root). In some cases your device will have a less useful name - like, say, Dell. However, there's also a Nokia mobile phone that's capable of being used as a modem shown in the list. In this case it's pretty clear that the modem is the Dell Computer Corp.

Make sure you run update-usbids before you try to find your modem, as more details are always being added to the USB device IDs database.īus 007 Device 003: ID 05a9:7670 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. Unless you know your modem isn't a USB device you should start by using `lsusb' to check for your device and, if you find it, get its vendor and device IDs.
Most cellular modems seem to present a USB interface, even the internal mini-PCI-E and mini-PCI cards. If you file a hardware support bug, consider including the output of lsusb -vvv (or an excerpt of it showing the output for the device of interest). If you already know your device's USB product and vendor IDs, you might as well skip this section. This page details some steps you can take to find out more about your modem so the NetworkManager team have more information to work with during testing and development.įinding the bus type and device identifiers for your modem They also vary in terms of their capabilities, many of which can't be discovered from the USB device IDs alone. Many modems are internally installed in a laptop, or are rebranded/rebadged devices from other providers. Finding the bus type and device identifiers for your modem.
