I have a Delta CDMA Modem DCM-404, which works in Windows. I am trying to get it work in my Linux system (Kubuntu 7.10 32 bit version). The output of lsusb show the following:
nitin@nitin:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
I would like to know if this device is supported? Do I need to upgrade my Linux distro or install additional packages? I tried installing usb*.deb packages and tried to make the device work by following examples from some blogs, but it didn't work.
Waiting for your help.
Output of dmesg
I am pasting the last 40 lines from the output of dmesg. Please advise what am I to do next to make my cdma usb modem work in Linux.
