HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Module

[ralphsims]

I have the gobi, the modem manager and the firmware on the computer, the script run, but no function , the script aborts with errors.

Can someone tell me what elese do I need for this in 10.10 to run?

I gave up on the network and modem managers and grabbed wicd from the repositories. It made my life a little easier. Again, your mileage may vary.

OK I had a look, but there are 10 subdirectories with some of them having the files in it, some have only one file with few kb in it. The folders are called 1, 2, 3, etc , tha last one UMTS.
At least half of the folders has the files in it, but they are apparently not the same since not same size. How can I find out which one is the correct one?

In the whole thread there is talk about the gobi loader, well I installed this, and copied the script from the site here, but as I mentioned the script stops with some error and the terminal window is lost.

The computer is HP mini 110, the windows version is XP and it has HP connection manager, which again installed the qualcom folder.

So I installed I think all I have read in this long thread, but still no luck.
The gobi is installed from the repository.

I found the firmware folder, copied two of those files there, but then nothing goes on. The script supposed to start that all, does not work.

So what else can I do to start the un2420 on ubuntu 10.10?

This wicd? what is it exactly and what is it supposed to do? Is it the same as the gobi loader or something different?

wicd is nothing more than Yet Another Network Manager. It works for me, but it might not be for everyone. I never have liked the stock network manager--that's just me.

I had a look at this wicd, but it seems to just be same funktion as the network manager installed. It can operate well normal cable lan, wireless lan, but it does nothing more with the mobile phone modem.
The network manager also pretende to be able to operate the gsm modem, but it has a tab for it, but nothig behid it, no drivers etc.
The wicd is something very similar.

I think what I need more is to make the drivers run, to load the firmware, then wicd or the origial network manager will work.

-----

I just tried to install the wicd, during the installation however a message came up
*starting Network connection manage wicd [fail]

so something seems not to be ok still , it looks that some more things have to be installed, but what exactly?

wicd also has only tabs for wifi and normal wired network parts, I can not find a setting for any mobile phone modem connection, can you give me a hint where this is hiding?
Or how do I add such broadband mobile phone network to the wicd?

The ttyUSB0 is not created in my case, HP mini 110, un2420, works on windows XP fine, not on the 10.10

I do not quite understand what is going on here, why is it so many times registered and unregistered?

How can I create the ttyUSB0 so it remains here and can be loaded by the gobi loader? I think that once I have the device created , it will be able to load and work.

I'm using a Thinkpad X201 with a Gobi 2000, and I have the same problem as reported by others above in this thread: I can't activate the modem from within Ubuntu. If I boot into Windows, activate the modem there, then reboot into Linux, everything is fine and the "Verizon connection" shows up in the network manager menu. But if I suspend and resume, or power off and on again, then the modem is back to its deactivated state.

"sudo /lib/udev/gobi_loader -2000 /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi" just hangs.

syslog says:

Dec 1 22:29:07 vondel kernel: [ 4883.025507] usbcore: registered new interface driver qc\

I'm on Maverick with kernel 2.6.35-23, gobi_loader 0.7.

Did anyone else see this behavior and solve it?

Greetings,

I have a HP Mini 210-1005sa; I have followed part of the instructions in this thread, what I miss now is the Windows drivers; I downloaded the Windows drivers that HP provides at this link:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...93634&sw_lang=

I would like to extract the files:

• amss.mbn
• UCQN.mbn
• apps.mbn

...but I cannot do so on any of the Windows PC I own, because the installer tells me that I don't have the correspondent peripheral present.

My modem already shows up when I do lsusb -v, its address is:

03f0:241d

Could someone provide me with the aforementioned files?

$ sudo su rfkill unblock wwan

This can wake up the modem. Put it in rc.local if it works for you.

Not needed for Maverick--all the previous mechanations are now handled by the kernel and the gobi-loader module (now part of the repositories). "apt-get install gobi-loader" (maybe in Synaptic) and follow the bouncing ball, i.e. some of the previous posts.

I can't recall who found the 'rfkill unblock wwan' invocation to wake up the modem, but that took a lot of extra work out of the mix.
