Re: [VPCZ2] How to get Huawei Gobi 3000 working with kernel 3.2 ?

 

HadiM,
Yes we have the same config. I am using a compiled 3.2 rc2 from kernel.org,
device id on the Gobi Module is the same as well. Only difference is I am
running Oneiric. The ttyUSB1 just loaded once I modprobed GobiSerial. Did
you change the VIDPID in the GobiSerial.c to this:
[code]
/*=========================================================================*/
// Qualcomm Gobi 3000 VID/PIDs
/*=========================================================================*/
static struct usb_device_id GobiVIDPIDTable[] =
{
   { USB_DEVICE( 0x12d1, 0x14f1 ) },   // Gobi 3000 QDL device
   { USB_DEVICE( 0x12d1, 0x14f1 ) },   // Gobi 3000 Composite Device
   { }                               // Terminating entry
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE( usb, GobiVIDPIDTable );
[/code]
That's all I did, then do make, sudo make install

I can't seem to get GobiNet working but as you mentioned earlier,
GobiSerial works with wvdial or gnome-ppp.

So hopefully we can figure out why the GPS is not working.
