Need help please, anyone who has Chinese Skype USB Phone

Postby szwliew » Sat Nov 24, 2007 5:50 pm

Ok, the description is vague, but I bought this phone in XuJiaHui market, and its the ONLY USb phone I could find, so hopefully someone else here knows what I'm talking about. It looks like this but without the brand name: Image

I made a thread earlier that I couldn't run it in mac. I decided it was a good time to try bootcamp on my mac, and I've done so, but the drivers for this phone are on a miniature CD which won't fit into my macbook. Anyone have this that can email it to me? Or maybe you know the model of this phone I could find it online, but I can't find anything since this phone doesn't have a brand or model since its a ripoff of IPEVO's design.

Help would be great, thanks!

Did you post the logs from dmesg yet as I asked?

Then we can see what chipset etc its using, and find you a driver...

Sorry, I didn't know what dmesg meant. I plugged it in, typed it into terminal and it says "Unable to obtain kernel buffer: Operation not permitted
usage: sudo dmesg
"

ok, so type sudo dmesg
- it will ask for your login password, type that, and it will give you a list of the last things the computer saw, which should include the usb phone being plugged in, so we can google the model number.
