Sony_Ericsson_Z710i
First attempt to a wiki (I am defenitly not used to the <wiki> specific banners!). I'll simply list the steps I used to have my Sony Ericsson Z710i working with wammu (http://wammu.eu/) trough a USB cable. It might (or not) work for different types of Ericsson cellphones... who knows.

System Configuration
- If you have any troubles during the install and find solutions (or not!), please add what you found to the article!
Making the connection
First of all, plug your cellphone, select the type of connection "phone". This way you will connect it as a device (usb-modem) instead of a file system.
Checking the connection
Next, make sure your device is correctly recognized. Typing lsusb should give you some informations like that:
Bus 008 Device 003: ID 0fce:d047 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
Kernel configuration
Now simply compile the kernel modules required: cdc-acm.
This module is in the USB devices section, you'll find it pretty much easily: -->Device Drivers
--> USB SUPPORT
--> USB-MODEM (CDC-ACM) SUPPORT
- This howto supposes that you have the kernel 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 and that you compile the driver as a module.
Make the module, install it, then load it.
make modules
make modules_install modprobe cdc-acm
Last verifications
You should now see a device named /dev/ttyACM followed by a digit (e.g. /dev/ttyACM0). Congratulations, your cellphone is now Linux-ready.
Installing a synchronisation application
Whats next?
I use wammu to sync with my phone. You can get it by using the common emerge command:
emerge -av gammu wammu
Good luck, have fun!
I'm sorry if you get any trouble during the install (since I'm not covering any trouble shooting), visit us on freenode (IRC), #Gentoo.
