If you could run usbdevs -v and then jot down the IDs you can add those to
the top of u3g.c. You'll have to add a quirk like for other sierra devices
that show up as mass storage and need to be kicked into modem mode.
It pretends to be a mass storage device (with drivers on it) and after
installation switches to modem mode.
Or that's my guess.
# usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), AMD(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 powered
port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB MMC Storage(0x0fff), Sierra Wireless(0x1199), rev 0.00
port 3 powered
port 4 powered
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), AMD(0x0000), rev 1.00
port 1 powered
port 2 powered
port 3 powered
port 4 powered
It looks like its already there in the drivers. Is it possible the mini-pci express card is conflicting with the USB of the Alix board ?
