  • USR5637 "not present" but lights up

    From vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.co@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 18 22:51:37 2019
    WHy did it disappear?
    Is the modem damaged?
    I seem to recall it happened before
    and I had to reinstall the driver?
    Is this so? Why?

    Your headers say

    User-Agent: tin/2.4.3-20181224 ("Glen Mhor") (UNIX) (NetBSD/7.1.2 (amd64))

    I'm not going to be much help, as I'm using Linux. You might have
    better luck in a BSD newsgroup or mailing list.

    [fermi ~]$ whatis lsusb
    lsusb (8) - list USB devices
    [fermi ~]$ lsusb | grep Robo
    Bus 002 Device 018: ID 0baf:0303 U.S. Robotics
    [fermi ~]$

    Does your system show any other USB devices?

    Plugging the modem in to a USB port produces about 7 lines of babble
    in /var/log/messages

    usb 2-8: new high-speed USB device number 21 using xhci_hcd
    usb 2-8: New USB device found, idVendor=0baf, idProduct=0303
    usb 2-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=10
    usb 2-8: Product: USB Modem
    usb 2-8: Manufacturer: U.S.Robotics
    usb 2-8: SerialNumber: 0000002
    cdc_acm 2-8:2.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

    I seem to recall it happened before
    and I had to reinstall the driver?

    In Linux, the 'driver" is included in the kernel, and the USR
    instructions state "You do not need to install any drivers off the
    USRobotics installation CD-ROM." On the other hand, OSX 10.4
    (or later) did have a driver on the USR CD. There was no mention
    of *BSD on the CD.

    Well I use both Linux (Debian/Knoppix/Quantian) and Windows on this machine.
    I replaced the USR modem whenit stopped working but Linux doesn't see the new modem which is filemate/connexant

    OK - do you see the lines I posted from /var/log/messages?
    Does the 'lsusb' command show the modem? Does 'lsmod' show
    the kernel modules installed?

    [fermi ~]$ whatis lsmod
    lsmod (8) - Show the status of modules in the Linux Kernel
    [fermi ~]$ lsmod | grep acm
    cdc_acm 17900 0
    usbcore 128741 8 ehci_hcd,xhci_hcd,usbhid,cdc_acm
    [fermi ~]$

    and Windows on this machine.

    Haven't used windows since NT4, maybe 23 years ago.
