Question Re: Setting up the MODEM ZTE MF636 in openSUSE 11.1

excellent post with important information.
however, ¿how do i use it in SLED10sp2?

first some background:

right now i have installed opensuse 10.3 (because i re-formatted my working sled10sp2 installation to setup sled11; but didn't like it because of pulse-audio & LILO and then went for 10.3).
i needed to make the move because sp2 wouldn't detect a usb cell modem i acquired (10.3 & 11 detect it correctly and connect to the web with usb_modeSwitch & wvdial; i investigated further on the topic and sp2 doesn't handle ttyUSB0 [which is needed by the usb modem]), instead sp2 uses ttyACM* for usb devices and with this it was impossible to even initialize the modem or i couldn't find how to activate it.

but i'd like to go back to SLED10sp2 due to its stability.

¿ is there a way to setup the usb modem using /dev/ttyACM* ?
sled10sp2 doesn't supply /dev/ttyUSB*.

if anybody has achieved this in sp2 with a usb-modem and connected to the web, please leave a message right away.

thanks!
<OF>
