Oh it seems like it might actually be a problem with udev - the device not being created by udev. Got the following advice from an Ubuntu forum post:

1. Create the folllowing file

/etc/udev/rules.d/026_ti_usb_3410.rules

2. Add the following lines to this file

#TI USB 3410
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" ACTION=="add" SYSFS{idVendor}=="0451",SYSFS{idProduct}=="3410" \
SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="2" \
SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" \
RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2 > /sys%p/device/bConfigurationValue'"

3. Plug in your USB Serial cable and it should create a device node as /dev/ttyUSB0

4. Configure the modem using wvdial and specify the modem as /dev/ttyUSB0

No its not an issue with udev (it replaces devfs) or hotplug (now replaced with hald). I use udev + hald and it works.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is except to say, upgrade to 2.6.16 or higher. If you installed the latest ti_usb driver then it might work except I think you have two ti_usb_3410_5052.

Check with modprobe -l|greo ti_usb and delete the one supplied by the kernel and do a depmod -a

Hi any chance of getting this working on Ubuntu Daper (6.06).

I've already tried this on both Ubuntu Dapper and Suse 10.1, but could get it to work. Upgraded to latest version of the ti_usb driver (ver: 1.1) as well. I think this driver is designed for hot plug, but both of my distros are using udev.
