Hi there all

Is anyone here able to help me configure a Lucent external usb modem?

I know that Heron detects that there is a device, because when I run lsusb:

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 047e:2892 Agere Systems, Inc (Lucent)

and I have tried to run modprobe:

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x47e product=0x2892

but nothing appears to be happening???
I dont have a device manager installed, like I do on my Ubuntu 7.04 release, although I have downloaded the gnome device manager (gnome-device-manager-0.1) I wouldnt have a clue on how to install the package, remembering that I dont have internet access on this machine makes it a real pain, because there are drivers that I need for the display that I dont have.

My querry on this matter is on the Ubuntu Forums:

Please bear in mind that I am a complete novice with Linux and Ubuntu, but really REALLY want to get a working knowledge of it.

Thank you

Glenn Morrissey
