I think the term 'driver' is used fairly loosely in the windows world, probably meaning 'a piece of software needed to access a piece of hardware'. If so, then I have sucessfully used 'moto4lin' with my motorola C380, using the USB cable from my MP3 player. The actual drivers needed were already in the kernel. I gather it uses /dev/ttyACM0 - at least that is the config setting that makes it work - I don't see it in /dev when I look manually. It lets me browse the filesystem on the phone, upload/download audio clips and also graphical images. Unfortunately I don't know much about phones, and there is a lot of stuff which I really just don't know the purpose of. Even using the basic functions of the phone is rather trial and error, as my instruction book is in Russian. So far I have yet to work out how to do what I would really like to do, which is backup text messages and phonebook data. Most useful would be connecting to the Internet, but I really need to subscribe to a service to experiment with that - and don't really want to pay for a service unless I know it will work with Linux :-/ I'm afraid I don't know anything about the L6, so can't comment on the appropriate software to use there.
