Rolf,
In the last patchset that Greg KH submitted for 2.6.23 there is one:
Andreas Loibl (1):
     usb: serial/pl2303: support for BenQ Siemens Mobile Phone EF81

And if this is for the bug that you are referring to, this should be it.

Have you tested with 2.6.23+?
Thanks.

Natalie,

thank you for your comment.  I believe that the patchset you are referring to deals with bug 8932 but not this one (yet).

Seems to all be merged

patch for S81 mobile phone modelled after attachment 12517 [details]

> Seems to all be merged

Doesn't look like it is to me:

$ grep 81 drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c
        { USB_DEVICE(SIEMENS_VENDOR_ID, SIEMENS_PRODUCT_ID_EF81) },

The EF81 has made it in and thus bug 8932 is indeed fixed.  I guess we need something similar to attachment 12517 [details] from that bug.  Please see the attachment from this comment which I assume should do the trick.

Thanks for clarifying that the two phones have differing identifiers.

In order to get your patched merged can you either
- post a copy with a Signed-off-by: line to the linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org list (you don't need to be a subscriber)
- or if you'd prefer to do it via bugzilla just give me permission to add a signed-off-by: line for you to the patch and do the merging.

Thanks
Alan

Thanks, Alan.

Unfortunately, apparently, that patch in itself is not sufficient.  With that patch applied, the kernel cannot be compiled.  It looks like that in the case of the EF81 there was already some information about it in pl2303.h.  There is notthing about the S81 in there and I believe that is why the compilation fails.  

Maybe somebody more experienced than me can take a look?

Finally got time to glance at this please test the patch that follows

I apologize for the late response.  I believe the patch is working fine.

The only thing I am not sure about are those last two lines.

I have not yet made any GSM connection or actually accessed the device apart from looking at syslog right after plugging the phone in via USB.

I cannot acces the internal storage on the phone.  Is this something that should be driven by pl2303?  In that case, I would like to reopen this bug.

That all looks in order

The last 2 are not the kernel but NetworkManager (part of some desktops) deciding your phone doesn't look like a 3G dongle and therefore doesn't need to be managed that way.

I have no idea how the internal storage is handled on this phone. I assume you would need a suitable application to talk syncml or whatever the phone speaks over the serial link for this purpose.
