Hello, I have a new cellphone, the BQ Aquaris E 4.5 Ubuntu Edition, i.e. it runs Ubuntu 14.10. When I connect this to the USB port of my 11-CURRENT netbook it gives in /var/log/messages: Mar 30 10:25:17 c720-r276659 kernel: ugen0.4: <BQ> at usbus0 Mar 30 10:25:17 c720-r276659 root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x2a47 product 0x2008 bus uhub0 I'm attaching as well what the ubuntu-phone folks think about their side of the story. Any chance that we could get support for it into the if_cdce driver? The vendorID is not listed in sys/dev/usb/usbdevs until now.

Would be nice to talk SSH directly to it via USB and > not only over Wifi. the phablet-shell command from the phablet-tools package does exactly that ... (well, not with a full network setup, just with tunneling an ssh connection through adb) https://launchpad.net/phablet-tools has the source, it is shell, so should theoretically work on your BSD as well ... for networking the bq supports tethering via a usb device (run the following in the terminal app or via adb): android-gadget-service enable rndis that will create an usb0 network device on a linux,PC not sure what BSD does with it though :) ciao oli -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Matthias Apitz, guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-170-4527211 "Wenn der Mensch von den Umständen gebildet wird, so muß man die Umstände menschlich bilden."
