Si necesitas generar un perfil de hardware de tu sistema Fedora, puedes hacer uso de esta herramienta, es de lo más útil. Para obtener mayor información ejecuta el comando con privilegios de root. Antes instala como de costumbre:

# yum install lshw

Abajo una corrida ejemplo en mi portátil:

[root@movix ~]# lshw -short

Revise el manual (man lshw) para otras opciones como salida HTML :)

Bueno, después de irremediablemente cambiar mi celular, escogí un Kyocera E2000, muy bonito y todo, pero el teléfono se apaga solo cuando se conecta al puerto USB de mi Fedora, ¡vaya comportamiento!

Ya revisé la página de Kyocera y no hay ningún tipo de soporte Linux, así que toca hacerle una pita. Igual les envie un email a soporte técnico a ver si hay alguna solución.

Arriba los mensajes del kernel muestran como detecta el dispositivo USB de tipo almacenamiento, mientras intenta leerlo y montarlo, el teléfono cambio de modo USB a modo "serial" para que el SO es otro tipo de dispositivo, es decir, desaparece el USB y quedar en modo serial.
