Re: [Banshee-List] Device support for T-Mobile Pulse (Huawei 8220)

[steev182 <stevie mulcahy gmail com>]

Hi Gabriel,

When I run "hal-device | grep android" I get no output, I've put the output
of hal-device to a file and looked through it for huawei, and found several
entries for it, the two attached below seem to be those of more interest
than the others. The only problem is this doesn't look like particularly
good news for finding Android devices by searching for Android if the
manufacturers aren't putting it in this USB information.

Thanks,

Steve
