Public bug reported: Gobi is a type of WWAN 3G wireless chipset made by Qualcomm and shipped in some notebooks (eg. ThinkPads). It is particularly notable for being able to act as both a CDMA2000 and a GSM/WCDMA transceiver.
The mode is selected by the firmware loaded on initialisation. The device shows up over USB initially as a dumb, firmware loading endpoint, at which point udev rules poke 'gobi_loader" to find and inject the relevant firmware, after which the device reinitialises and shows up as a standard USB serial interface endpoint. http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/ Unfortunately, the version in Ubuntu 10.04 does not work out of the box, apparently requiring some degree of unspecified patching/customisation. Kernel patches needed: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/kernel_patches/ ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gobi 3G (gobi_loader) does not work out of the box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
