Sony Ericsson W580i refuses to connect to Ibex through USB

[Zachs Kappler]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10 my Sony Ericsson phone while it's in file transfer mode. Unlike the other thread I saw about this model, mine will not show up at all. performing the dmesg | tail -30 command got me this:

I have several usb devices fed through a hub at the moment, but it will not work when it's the only usb device connected.

Interestingly, Ibex recognizes the modem function while in phone mode.

after disconnecting the whole hub and running dmesg | tail -30 i get:

it brought up the icon for the memory card inside it but i would like to be able to use my external keyboard while working with it.

Ok, I have solved this now. It was the hub I have; it was making my phone read incorrectly. The hub is one of these: http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_448799...op_hub_reviews

I also learned this thing messes with TI calculators like my TI-84+!
