Barry is a project to allow sync and other functionality with RIM Blackberry
phones. It's at barry.sourceforge.net

The download page
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722) includes DEB
packages, but the program is not in any Debian distibution. I assume these
are Ubuntu packages. Anyone have experience installing them?

Recent kernels include a module that allows Blackberries to charge from the
USB line (be detecting that they're plugged in and switching them to charge
mode). It's berry_charge.

I'm using kernel 2.6.22-3-k7. 'locate berry_charge' returns

/lib/modules/2.6.22-3-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko

but 'modprobe berry_charge' returns

FATAL: Module berry_charge not found.

Eh?

I'll be grateful for any assistance.

and what about

find /lib/modules/ -iname \*berry\*

and then

insmod $THE_COMPLETE_PATH_FOUND_AS_ABOVE

(if there is a module in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ which probably is not
true given the depmod -a result above)

/home/carlf# find /lib/modules/ -iname \*berry\*
/lib/modules/2.6.22-2-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-3-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko
/home/carlf# modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.22-3-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko
FATAL: Module /lib/modules/2.6.22_3_k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko not found.

So, is refusing to admit that a file which is clearly present in fact exists
a bug in the kernel worth reporting?

I may just go ahead and compile a custom kernl with berry_charge integral.

no, it might perhaps be a bug if such a message is given by

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22-3-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/berry_charge.ko

but modprobe is a different thing (which uses only module names and not
paths, which are resolved using modules.dep, as the man page explains)
