If you're doing it in the virtual environment you need probably:
 - disable the driver in the host environment (just guessing here)
 - make sure that guest environment not only can see it but also connects it
 - finally show the output of 'lsusb' command; also 'dmesg' should
reflect presence of the device

I'm afraid Sun Virtual Box does not detect anything. If the device is
detectable under Vista it can see it but then you need to set it up
properly to make it available within guest OS.

Why would you try DKU-5 as you have different cable? I pointed you to
the right config.

These two (model = AT, connection = dku2libusb) are incompatible.

With this config it didn't even attempt to connect to the phone.

If that's all it indicates that your Linux system cannot see the
device at all. So first you need to set up Virtual Machine so it
exposes USB device to the guest OS and then that's straightforward.

take care,
