Comment 176 for bug 554099

Hi,

All-in-all i have been able to find my Gobi 2000 device on my Ubuntu 10.10, Network Manager only 3 times.
(the first time as a GSM device, the second as a CDMA device and third as a GSM device again.)

ever since i am just not able to get it running ...

When i try to run the following command ...

"sudo /lib/udev/gobi_loader /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi"
or
"sudo /lib/udev/gobi_loader -2000 /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi"

the terminal hangs...

Could this be because the modem manager may be preventing the gobi_loader from loading the firmware ?
Or
Could it be because the patch (usb-wwan-2.6.34.diff from - http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/) spoken about in Viktors Petrov's post 14 was not added ?

Detail of My Machine :
----------------------

Acer Aspire One 8.9
hosting a 'HP Qualcomm Gobi 2000 card'
with no luck on Windows 7 with this card, i am trying to have it running on my Ubuntu.

I am using Ubuntu : 10.10
on kernel : 2.6.35-24-generic

I have uninstalled 'gobi_loader' as well as 'qcserial' completely

I did the following...

1. firmware files : 3 firmware files copied to /lib/firmware/gobi/ Checked

2. Gobi_loader : 60-gobi-rules file carries my device ID's Checked
   downloaded-extracted-make-make install-

3. qcserial : qcserial.c file carries my device ID's Checked
   downloaded-extracted-make-make install-

post installation i verified the installation ...

1. 'gobi_loader' executable installed to location ... - /lib/udev/...
2. '60-gobi-rules' file installed to location ... - /etc/udev/rules.d/...
3. 'qcserial.ko' installed to location ... - /lib/modules/.../kernel/drivers/usb/serial...

the command 'lsmod' shows the following activity ...
"
qcserial 2620 1
bluetooth 50500 9 rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb
snd_seq_device 5744 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
psmouse 59033 0
usbserial 33100 3 qcserial
"

command 'dmesg' shows the following activity ...
"
[ 13.955839] USB Serial support registered for Qualcomm USB modem
[ 13.960673] qcserial 1-6:1.1: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
[ 13.961281] usb 1-6: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 13.961485] usbcore: registered new interface driver qcserial
"

Please let me know what i should try...

to apply the patch ' usb-wwan-2.6.34.diff ' or a different direction all together...

PS : I am not a programmer just a brave novice ubuntu user :).
So any instructions bearing this fact in mind would be most helpful.

thanks
Muzafsh.
