[karmic] No sierra 3G with 2.6.30, works with 2.6.28

[Timo Aaltonen]

I can't get my sierra 3G device working on my Thinkpad X61 when running the karmic kernel. Using the jaunty kernel it works. I also get bluetooth working with it, maybe it's related.

I've tried the mainline builds too, and only the 2.6.28.x works..

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

it's a usb device, so it should show up in the lsusb output.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

@Timo, as you say it works with Jaunty. Can you provide dmesg and 'sudo lsusb -vvv'? Thanks.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Tried 2.6.31, and it's the same there too.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Oh wait, it works there after all! (now that I could boot it up properly)

Closing as fixed.
