ok.... we are getting closer.... i did this
plug it in linux... got the same dmesg... errors and stuff... same than the first post... so I do nothing there
then i go to virtualbox... started winXP... it recognizes OK... and mounts de CD rom... i manually ejected it... tried to connect using dial up and worked (was sniffing while doing that)... closed winXP
back in linux i got this dmesg
[ 2231.173045] usb 1-6: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 2231.290107] scsi14 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

[ 2232.334594] usb-storage: device scan complete
as you see i got no errors..... so it did
# modprobe -v
# echo "12d1 101e" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
and got this (almost cried lol)
