Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

29 | 1. Usage | ||
30 | ~~~~~~~~ | ||
31 | The drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c drivers works with USB modems and USB ISDN terminal | ||
32 | adapters that conform to the Universal Serial Bus Communication Device Class | ||
33 | Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM) specification. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Many modems do, here is a list of those I know of: | ||
36 | |||
37 | 3Com OfficeConnect 56k | ||
38 | 3Com Voice FaxModem Pro | ||
39 | 3Com Sportster | ||
40 | MultiTech MultiModem 56k | ||
41 | Zoom 2986L FaxModem | ||
42 | Compaq 56k FaxModem | ||
43 | ELSA Microlink 56k | ||
44 | |||
45 | I know of one ISDN TA that does work with the acm driver: | ||
46 | |||
47 | 3Com USR ISDN Pro TA | ||
48 | |||
49 | Unfortunately many modems and most ISDN TAs use proprietary interfaces and | ||
50 | thus won't work with this drivers. Check for ACM compliance before buying. | ||
51 | |||
52 | The driver (with devfs) creates these devices in /dev/usb/acm: | ||
53 | |||
54 | crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 0 Apr 1 10:49 0 | ||
55 | crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 1 Apr 1 10:49 1 | ||
56 | crw-r--r-- 1 root root 166, 2 Apr 1 10:49 2 | ||
57 | |||
58 | And so on, up to 31, with the limit being possible to change in acm.c to up | ||
59 | to 256, so you can use up to 256 USB modems with one computer (you'll need | ||
60 | three USB cards for that, though). | ||
61 | |||
62 | If you don't use devfs, then you can create device nodes with the same | ||
63 | minor/major numbers anywhere you want, but either the above location or | ||
64 | /dev/usb/ttyACM0 is preferred. | ||
65 | |||
66 | To use the modems you need these modules loaded: | ||
67 | |||
68 | usbcore.ko | ||
69 | uhci-hcd.ko ohci-hcd.ko or ehci-hcd.ko | ||
70 | cdc-acm.ko | ||
71 | |||
72 | After that, the modem[s] should be accessible. You should be able to use | ||
73 | minicom, ppp and mgetty with them. | ||
74 | |||
75 | 2. Verifying that it works | ||
76 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
77 | The first step would be to check /proc/bus/usb/devices, it should look | ||
78 | like this: | ||
79 | |||
80 | T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 | ||
81 | B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 | ||
82 | D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 | ||
83 | P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 | ||
84 | S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub | ||
85 | S: SerialNumber=6800 | ||
86 | C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA | ||
87 | I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub | ||
88 | E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=255ms | ||
89 | T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 | ||
90 | D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 2 | ||
91 | P: Vendor=04c1 ProdID=008f Rev= 2.07 | ||
92 | S: Manufacturer=3Com Inc. | ||
93 | S: Product=3Com U.S. Robotics Pro ISDN TA | ||
94 | S: SerialNumber=UFT53A49BVT7 | ||
95 | C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=60 MxPwr= 0mA | ||
96 | I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=acm | ||
97 | E: Ad=85(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms | ||
98 | E: Ad=04(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms | ||
99 | E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 16 Ivl=128ms | ||
100 | C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 2 Atr=60 MxPwr= 0mA | ||
101 | I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=acm | ||
102 | E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 16 Ivl=128ms | ||
103 | I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=acm | ||
104 | E: Ad=85(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms | ||
105 | E: Ad=04(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl= 0ms | ||
106 | |||
107 | The presence of these three lines (and the Cls= 'comm' and 'data' classes) | ||
108 | is important, it means it's an ACM device. The Driver=acm means the acm | ||
109 | driver is used for the device. If you see only Cls=ff(vend.) then you're out | ||
110 | of luck, you have a device with vendor specific-interface. | ||
111 | |||
112 | D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 2 | ||
113 | I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=02 Prot=01 Driver=acm | ||
114 | I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=acm | ||
115 | |||
116 | In the system log you should see: | ||
117 | |||
118 | usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned device number 2 | ||
119 | usb.c: kmalloc IF c7691fa0, numif 1 | ||

133 | usb.c: acm driver claimed interface c7b5f3f8 | ||
134 | usb.c: acm driver claimed interface c7691fa0 | ||
135 | |||
136 | If all this seems to be OK, fire up minicom and set it to talk to the ttyACM | ||
137 | device and try typing 'at'. If it responds with 'OK', then everything is | ||
138 | working. | ||
