Hello,
I need to use the modem*ZTE MF 622 (usb modem) with lenny. Apparently, it is necessary to have installed the program usb-modeswitch. It is not present in Lenny, but it is present in testing. I checked the dependencies, and all the necessary libraries are present in lenny. Can I install usb-modeswitch from*testing in lenny?


Thanks for the help
Marcelo*

Have you tried simply 'ejecting' the 'cdrom' ?

Also: once you are able to communicate with the -modem-, then it is
possible to tell the device to never appear as a 'cdrom' again. Link:

Should work. If you want to keep usb-modeswitch updated, you'll want to start
tracking testing and testing-security for that package. You can do that by
having both repositories in sources.list and using apt pinning (man 5
apt_preferences). An example for how I pull from
testing/unstable/experimental as needed is at
