Bug Description
SRU justification (for LBM in Lucid):
Impact: Certain models of 3G hardware (Gobi) which apparently are quite
common, require several changes to work. First, the kernel module needs
to be updated, which requires larger modifications. Second, a new firm-
ware loader is required together with a matching udev rule.
Fix: In order to prevent regressions, the driver backport was done in
LBM and also adds a new binary subpackage (lbm-wwan). This package also
contains the loader and the udev rule.
NOTE! The drivers also requires firmware files which need to be manually
gathered as they are not redistributable.
Testcase: Without this backport no 3G connections are possible. Sevral
users in the bug report had successfully used the driver from the test
package after collecting the required firmware files.

03f0:201d Hewlett-Packard <-- HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Module (QDL interface)
HP un2400 mobile broadband modem stopped working after i upgraded to lucid.
I can not load firmware anymore to my modem's Qualcomm Gobi USB chip using gobi_loader.
http://
There was no problems on previous Ubuntu version (Karmic, kernel 2.6.31*). As i understand all devices based on this chip will not work on lucid, if this will not be fixed.
HP un2400 is recognized by kernel's qcserial module. qcserial.c was not changed from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32.
After searching internet i found that this is related to changes in the kernel's usbserial module:
"The qcserial driver is currently broken in 2.6.32 and later. It's due to the switch to using kfifo for usb serial, but we haven't been able to work out the actual cause. I'm looking at alternative approaches."

I have the same problem with HP EliteBook 6930p. It works if I activate it in Karmic and reboot to Lucid. But after shutdown gobi_loader hangs ... Please fix this. There are many HP laptops with UN2400!

Tom Inglis (tominglis) wrote : | #6 |
In Ubuntu 9.10, it was possible to update the qcserial driver with the correct ID for your device, to compile and install gobi_loader 0.4, and copy the correct firmware files to /lib/firmware/gobi. There were issues with coming out of suspension / hibernation, but with a regular boot this worked.
This method no longer works in Ubuntu 10.04, presumably because of the changes mentioned above in the qcserial driver et al.
It would be great if the Gobi and Gobi 2000 devices were supported natively in the kernel by a combined driver / firmware loader with the unlocked firmware as the default (even if these have to be "restricted").

I have this problem too on my netbook. The only method for me to use my Qualcomm 9212 3G modem is to load the firmware using Gobi Loader. This worked OK on Ubuntu 9.10, but it does not work on 10.04. Please fix this before 10.04 release or I will have no method to use my 3G modem in my netbook. Thanks.

Thank You, AmenophisIII!
I used patch parts 1/4 & 2/4 to compile only qcserial.ko & usb-wwan.ko for current kernel (2.6.32-21-generic) and now my HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Module is working again!!
But beware there are some errors in the patch! usb-wwan files sometimes is referenced as usb-wwan and sometimes as usb_wwan ! Must be changed everywhere uniformly!

It's been too long since I did a kernel compile. I installed the linux-source package, expanded it, configured the kernel (I just accepted the defaults), patched with the patch from http://
Viktors Petrovs (viks77) wrote : | #13 |
After You copied modules try:
sudo /sbin/depmod -a
Viktors Petrovs (viks77) wrote : | #14 |
Sometimes i need to compile just one kernel module for current kernel without compiling full kernel tree.
This is how i get it done:
1) get attached patch
2) install and extract kernel source
sudo apt-get install linux-source
tar xjf /usr/src/
3) patching and compilation (only drivers/usb/serial subdirectory)
mkdir temp
cd ./linux-
patch -p1 < ../usb-
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config ../temp
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Makefile .
make O=../temp outputmakefile
make O=../temp archprepare
make O=../temp prepare
make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=scripts
make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=
4) copy resulting modules to kernel modules directory
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo /sbin/depmod -a

Is there a fix for this issue that enables ordinary users of Ubuntu to get their Qualcomm Gobi 2000 chip working without having to compile a new kernel, patch it, install a firmware loader, and copy the correct firmware from their Windows installation!?
Paul Stadig (pjstadig) wrote : | #17 |
Thanks you very much, Viktors! I was missing the depmod step, and by following your instructions I was able to build the modules without having to build the entire kernel, which saved a bunch of time.
I agree with, Tom, even though there is a workaround, this should be fixed, especially for users who may not be able to build a kernel.
Tom Inglis (tominglis) wrote : | #18 |
If we can get this chip working for the ordinary user, without them having to do anything extra, then that would be fantastic, particularly if it can be patched into 10.04?
Otherwise, the least we could do is to provide a really detailed step by step explanation of how to get it to work on the Ubuntu wiki?
These chips are probably going to get a lot more popular over the next year or two, as people use 3G / 4G / GPS more in their laptops...

I am running the Released Lucid and it was not fixed. I have a HP Elitebook 8530w.
Thus I have a Not-Functioning 3G. To access the Internet I have to borrow the wife's Huawei Vodafone card.
Please can someone fix the kernel and make it available through Update-Manager?

It should be possible to create a package for ordinary users, if there is a patched Kernel.
The steps are:
1. Download firmware. I don't know the legal situation.
wget ftp://ftp.
2. cabextract 44916.exe
3. Dialog that asks which firmware to use (http://
4. move firmware to /lib/firmware/gobi
5. install gobi_loader
6. insert qcserial and hp-wmi into /etc/modules.
A rfkill power switch somewhere would be nice , too.

I have the same problem with the Fujitsu Lifebook S710. They ship with the Sierra Wireless modules using the Qualcomm firmware. I received the following SDK file that was supposed to be the driver for the card, but it is only the SDK. Can anyone help with a How To that can help me with the installation? I have never done this, so I don't know where to start.?

Hello, tnf!
05c6:9204 is a Gobi 2000 QDL device. You need to download firmware.
tnf (tnf-ars-solvendi) wrote : | #29 |
I installed gobi_loader and put the firmware in /lib/gobi/formware as suggested in comment 20. This seemed to work. Anything I might have missed? I did a make and make install, nothing else
Tom Inglis (tominglis) wrote : | #30 |
Is there any chance of making a package for ordinary users so that they can grab the firmware and the package and get their modem working?
If not, is it possible to create some instructions for ordinary users to explain how to get these modems working in the Ubuntu wiki?
Will the 10.04 kernel be patched with this update, or will this only be something that makes its way into Maverick?
tomx (tom-xitio) wrote : | #31 |
I'd be grateful for some clarification, too.
So, the hardware is used in 2 different aspects (9204/9205 - QDL/Modem Device) AND the qcserial has to be compiled manually?
I use a Thinkpad T410s on Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-22-generic.
lsusb gives
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc.
and no ttyUSB0 shows up in /dev.

@Viktors: thanks for the hint, I didn't realize I had the wrong firmware

@Tom Inglis and tomx: following are the steps I did to get the device working. I didn't create a wiki page because I couldn't find the right place and ubuntuguide.org doesn't let me edit. And maybe some day this bug will be fixed and getting the device to work will be easier :)
## Download the firmware and copy it to the right place
I have a ThinkPad T510, so I downloaded the driver from http://
## Install the kernel patch and gobi_loader
Open a terminal
mkdir umts
cd umts
wget http://
sudo apt-get install linux-source
tar xjf /usr/src/
mkdir temp
cd ./linux-
patch -p1 < ../usb-
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config ../temp
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/Makefile .
make O=../temp outputmakefile
make O=../temp archprepare

make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=scripts
make O=../temp modules SUBDIRS=
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo cp ../temp/
sudo /sbin/depmod -a
cd ..
wget http://
tar -xzf gobi_loader-
cd gobi_loader-0.5/
make
sudo make install
cd ../..
rm -r umts
Now reboot the system and the NetworkManager applet should have an "activate mobile broadband" option
lsusb shows "Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05c6:9205 Qualcomm, Inc."

TNF that's great thank you very much. I'll try that now and will look into creating a wiki page.
Is this something that needs to be done each time the kernel is updated, and will the USB-WWAN patch be included in a future kernel update in 10.04?

I have Lenovo Thinkpad T410 with Gobi 2000 and I used tnf's instructions. However it does not work completely, because I have to run Windows first and next Ubuntu and then I see 05c6:9205 Qualcomm, Inc. in lsusb. If not I run Windows first I see 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc.
How to run GPS module of Gobi 2000?

My Gobi 2000 works fine with 2.3.35-rc1 mainline (from the kernel-team PPA) + the gobi-loader tool from http://
In 2.3.34 /dev/ttyUSB0 doesn't show up, so firmware uploading can't be done.

@Tom Inglis: not sure if this will be the same for other updates, but it still works for me after the last 2.6.32-22 fix. I guess it won't work after a 2.6.32-23 update, but I don't now for sure
Marco (bulletxt) wrote : | #38 |
Hi Martijn vdS, where can I get that kernel 2.6.35RC1? Did you compile it yourself or did you get it from PPA? If from PPA, which one? The only one I can find for Ubuntu 10.04 is a kernel ppa with linux kernel 2.6.34! Thanks

Thanks. About the gobi loader, which version did you use? Version 0.6? Also, did you apply a patch to it?
Brian Candler (b-candler) wrote : | #41 |
On my thinkpad X100e with gobi 2000 and Lucid amd64, it works with either mainline linux-image-
or 2.6.32-22-generic patched as above, plus gobi-loader 0.6
However, even though gobi-loader installed a udev rules file (/lib/udev/
* /lib/udev/
* run lsusb until device id changes from 05c6:9204 to 05c6:9205
* sudo killall modem-manager
After that, network-manager detects it fine, and it can connect.

Two things I noticed:
- lsusb displayed "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9205 Qualcomm, Inc." before and after the installation / reboot.
- I received a hell of a lot of error messages during start up though everything seems to work.
Thank you guys!

I was wrong - after another reboot it doesn't work anymore. Surprisingly, Brian Candler's solution doesn't work for me either:
$ sudo /lib/udev/
Failed to open tertiary firmware: : No such file or directory
usage: /lib/udev/
According to the source code the file "uqcn.mbn" is missing. But there are only 2 files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\QUALCOMM\
Simon Hirscher (codethief) wrote : | #44 |
For the record: I found the "uqcn.mbn" file in several of the numbered directories in C:\Program Files (x86)\QUALCOMM\
I still don't know why it had been working with only two firmware files after the first reboot but as long as it keeps working with all three of them I think I won't investigate this further.
Brian Candler (b-candler) wrote : | #45 |
It's important to have the three firmware files, and choose the ones with the right md5 checksums (as there were various versions in the Windows drivers under C:\Program Files\QUALCOMM\
I used the md5sums from here:

$ md5sum /lib/firmware/

I haven't tried video streaming over 3G as it would be too expensive on my PAYG SIM. But for basic browsing and E-mail it works fine; it hasn't locked up the whole machine.
However I'm using the standard Lucid kernel with self-compiled modules for qcserial and thinkpad_acpi, not the mainline kernel.
Have you checked the output of
md5sum /lib/firmware/
?
Simon Hirscher (codethief) wrote : | #48 |
I'm sorry, my previous post was misleading. I wasn't talking about video streaming but simple video playback (thus, with the video file already on my hard drive) which tended to lag and freeze. Constantly adding and removing the 3G device therefore seemed to have kind of an impact on the overall system performance.
Didn't you mention earlier that you also tried out the 2.6.35-rc1 mainline kernel? In case you still have it installed could you please check if you can confirm my issues? (As I'm experiencing them on both, rc1 and rc3.)
Anyway, those are my md5 checksums:
$ md5sum /lib/firmware/

I'm not sure I'm going to have time to try crashing kernels for a while. I've checked my logs and don't see the repeated disconnections and reconnections that you see. Having said that, I'm only using 3G when I have no ethernet or wifi, which isn't very often.

Strangely enough, now, none of the different firmware versions produces the "error loop" anymore which I described above. Instead, the device is always available in the network connections manager with every firmware version but trying to connect results in the following /var/log/syslog entries:

I got this to work on my Dell E6410 with the "Dell Wireless 5620" Gobi 2000 over Verizon Wireless.
I found a pretty good walk-through I could adapt to Dell/Verizon at:
http://
I updated to the 2.6.35rc1 kernel, and built gobi_loader. The Dell device is in qcserial based on extrapolation from:
http://
(Dell device is: ID 413c:8186, or 413c:8185 before firmware is loaded.)
I got gobi_loader working with what I thought were the Verizon firmware files, but after the card was activated with Verizon it still would not connect.
Finally I imaged my primary partition to my /home partition and wiped it, installed Windows 7 64b and the Dell drivers, then "activated" the card. It then connected in Windows fine. (I think the process of "activating" the card in Windows is just choosing the correct firmware to load.) From my Windows 7 install, I copied the firmware files to a USB stick and restored my Ubuntu installation. A warm reboot resulted in the card working from Ubuntu. However, a cold reboot and the card stopped working, and the Gobi 2000 acted like it did before running Windows. I pulled the firmware files off of the memory stick and looked at the md5sum values for the files. The firmware I got from the Dell install was different from the Lenovo firmware. So I copied the Dell firmware for Verizon (from the 1/ directory) to /lib/firmware/gobi/ and did a cold reboot. Now the Gobi 2000 is working!
Here are the md5sum values for the "Dell Wireless 5620" firmware:
$ find -name "*.mbn" -exec md5sum {} \; | sort -k 2

The directory structure seems to be the same--Verizon firmware is in the ./1/ directory. Although the firmware that is available is different.
Simon Hirscher (codethief) wrote : | #54 |
@Brian: Actually that sounds similar to the problem I am experiencing at the moment: It worked, first, but after a reboot it didn't. Put another firmware in place. Worked. Reboot: Failure. Yet another reboot: Works again... (For a more comprehensive description look above.)
I noticed that if it doesn't work a warm reboot will usually result in the device denying service again yet a cold reboot often does the trick (though not always). I suppose the Gobi device doesn't lose state on a warm reboot (as it doesn't lose power).
Ok, I might be totally wrong here but could you check if it works constantly (i.e. after every boot?) and didn't just this time? Also, do remember the error message you received on Linux (/var/log/syslog)?
Brian (x-brian) wrote : | #55 |
With the correct firmware and kernel v2.6.35rc1 it is so far working every time. I have done multiple cold and warm reboots. This kernel has some issues, I think, but nothing that's a show stopper. Looks like the SD card reader might not work (never used it) and it makes a strange sound on shutdown. Also VirtualBox DKMS won't install with this kernel, but none of those things are show stoppers for me.
Your problems seem related to qcserial. My device is supported--it is listed on the page at:
http://
If your device isn't listed there that might be why you're having troubles.
Simon Hirscher (codethief) wrote : | #56 |
It is listed there, and as I said the device sometimes works perfectly (4 Mbit/s down!) and then again it doesn't at all. Also, it's not just Linux but also Windows which means my problems are either related to the device itself or the firmware which both operating systems use…
Brian (x-brian) wrote : | #57 |
Just got an update notification for kernel v2.6.32-23. Didn't install that--just wondering if anyone uses it and will it work? Maybe I can try it in a while but not now; I will need my WWAN in the near future.

Brian, this does not relate directly to this bug, but suspend-resume works just fine even after upgrading kernel to 2.6.32-23 (and applying the patch) in this machine, which has i5 M520 CPU.

What's this?
Brian (x-brian) wrote : | #65 |
Hmmm. If you look at:
https:/
there are a bunch of patches from various dates, with the latest being 06182010. The files are specific to certain hardware--for example, VU936.Gobi2000D
Right now I'm assuming that means the "Dell 5620" Gobi 2000 device, which is what I have.
Another file, VR305.Gobi2000D
What these files do not have, is firmware. They are "Dual BSD/GPL" licensed, so that would be incompatible with the proprietary firmware.
---Actually, i am sure this is for the "Dell 5620" Gobi 2000 device. From the QCSerial2kDell.c source:
static struct usb_device_id QCVIDPIDTable[] =
{
{ USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8185) }, // Dell Gobi 2000 QDL device
{ USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8186) }, // Dell Gobi 2000 Modem Device
{ } // Terminating entry
};
Those device IDs are the device IDs for my Dell 5620 device.
I am guessing this is a replacement for gobi_loader? I've poked around a tiny bit in the source but I'm no coder. I couldn't figure out how it applies firmware.
Simon Hirscher (codethief) wrote : | #66 |
Having looked at the source, I assume that those drivers / kernel modules are actually supposed to be a replacement for the firmware.
However, I'm apparently too stupid to get them working. I compiled both modules for my ThinkPad W510 as described in the README files in N0383.Gobi2000D
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc.
… instead of 9205. And the network-manager doesn't find any WWAN device.
Unfortunately, there isn't any contact information on codeaurora.org, either, so we're on our own I guess…

Just like to note that this bug seems to be fixed with Maverick Merkaat Alpha 2 (kernel 2.6.35-6).
UMTS WWAN works out of the box using my Lenovo T410s, and the PIN request dialog explicitely mentioned "Qualcomm Gobi 2000".
Tom Inglis (tominglis) wrote : | #68 |
Andreas, that's great. Do you mean that it just works without doing anything (!?), or that it works if you use gobi_loader and the Windows firmware?
Is there any chance of getting this change (whatever it is) patched / backported to the LTS?
Andreas Schildbach (schildbach) wrote : | #69 |
With Maverick, the only thing you need to do is use Network Manager to set up a Mobile Broadband connection, select your carrier and then enter the SIM PIN. No copying of firmware or fiddling with gobi_loader involved. Extremely painless, I'd say...

Answering my own question: Here is how to get the firmware files...
1) Download 7xwc44ww.exe from http://

3) Install cabextract and run "cabextract ~/.wine/

Have a look at the output of "lsusb", because the device changes its ID pre-firmware load and after firmware load. For me it goes from 05c6:9204 to 05c6:9205
If it shows the former, then it means the firmware hasn't loaded. For me, I can fix as follows:
(1) Run gobi-loader manually
/lib/udev/
(2) Wait until lsusb shows the expected second device ID
(3) sudo killall modem-manager
HTH,
Brian.

just an update on which firmware to use if you are connecting to swisscom Mobile unlimited. After I experienced a massive DNS Problem using the gerneric firmware, I switched to the Vodafone fw. This 1stly did the trick in resolving the DNS problem. But after serveral reboots and hibernation wakeups the connection speed seemed on the very minimum. SoI monitored the speed of the connection using the System monitor of Ubuntu. Guess what for minutes there were neither a download nor an upload registered even I just requested a webpage with a browser. So I did some trial and error and found out that the fw in dir 7 (Telefonica) does not only provide me with a stable connection (avg. 120KiB/s) but also does not face the DMS problem I had. bozinga! ;)
Just to let you know my findings to let you know I apreciate your work.

For now (because LBM with that patch has not been uploaded) I think I had those
rebuild for -24 and added them to the people page mentioned earlier.
When all is completed there should be a

I am not sure there will be enough time for this to happen in Maverick. But I
put this down to things that should be thought of on UDS-N. There we should also
evaluate whether there is a better way to acquire the firmware files.
Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote : | #97 |
Teaching Jockey about gobi-loader is relatively easy, gobi-loader's udev rules provide a nice vendor-product list already. However, this won't help at all with retrieving the firmware, of course. Incidentally I got a new laptop last Friday (ThinkPad x201), which also has one of those gobi modems, so I now can play around with this as well. (Unfortunately the modem still doesn't work even with gobi-loader and the firmware both installed.)
Stefan Bader (smb) wrote : | #98 |
The rough but not very much developed idea would have been to try get the firmware by fw-cutter. As I don't have the hw I can only guess from descriptions, but it seemed to be not trivial to get the right files. HW vendor FW vs. generic FW.

@Simon I just upgraded the kernel as Ubunutu 10.04 asked me to and redid the kernel module patching and installation as tnf described in comment #33. If the modem is not recognized I have to
$>sudo rmmod qcserial
$>sudo modprobe qcserial
$>sudo killall modem-manager
to get it recognized and listed in the Networkmanager. Sometimes I am not able to unload the qcserial module, because of somekind of a circular reference between the the 3 (qcserial,usb_wwan, usbserial) modules.
Also a
$>killall modem-manager
does not bring it up, but a reboot sometimes does the trick. But once recognized the connection is just fine (after I found out to use the Telefonica firmware) and responsive. I can establish a PPTP VPN connection to my server with out any problems and it even survives hibernation and an on/off cycle using the 'power switch' to turn on/off the wireless hardware (the switch on the right hand side right next to the eSata port).
About the error you highlighted: I do not experience this behavior on my machine.
For further investigation here are the stats of my machine. If there is anything else you need just let me know.

I tested this on a Samsung N150 netbook that comes with a Gobi 2000 HD 3G modem but without success.
The firmware and hp_wmi kernel driver load successfully, and the wireless broadband appears in the Network Manager applet, but attempting to connect fails immediately without an error message.
It's also worth noting that the firmware that comes with the N150 is different from the firmware in the drivers that HP an Lenovo supply. Unfortunately, nobody at Samsung or Verizon took the trouble to post the driver online, so the only way to get the firmware is off the Windows partition that comes loaded with the netbook.

They are not built yet, will still take some hours.
For the initiated, I just binary NEWed the kernel packages, so lbm

and then also accept the linux-meta packages. Then all packages will
hit the archive and can be tested.

Still a bit of a pfaff to get this working.
Just installed Lucid on a Lenovo x100e netbook with the Gobi 2000 WWAN device and followed these steps:
Enable all backports and proposed repos, do all updates - not working
Copy the following firmware files:
c:\program files\QUALCOMM\
c:\program files\QUALCOMM\
c:\program files\QUALCOMM\
to /lib/firmware/gobi - not working
Install linux-backports
Add my user to dialout (and every other group in Users and Groups) - not working
Run /lib/udev/
I now have to do the final step every time I want to use 3G.
Added to the issues of the laptop locking solid with the default radeon driver, no wireless by default, it's a bit of a sorry state with this laptop running Ubuntu at the moment.

For Maverick it is its own package but for Lucid I rather want to stay with it
being packaged with LBM. I "just" need to make the rules and the loader specific

I am on vacation right now, but I will look into it next week. People that need
different PCI IDs supported should open a new bug. Likewise I think we should
open a new separate bug for the packaging problem in Lucid.

Had no luck with Lucid so tried the latest Maverick beta which still doesn't work.
I was incorrect in stating that the device in the Lenovo x100e required 05c6:9205 as this is the id when initialised by the firmware. When not initialised it is 05c6:9204 which is already in /lib/udev/
Udev logs that it has run gobi_loader -2000 /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi and exited 0 but checking lsusb the device still shows as the uninitialised id. If I run the command myself it shows as 9205 and is initialised.
So it seems something is unloading the firmware after udev has loaded it. I'll post the hardware info for diagnosis.

I recently installed the kernal update to 2.6.32.25. Unfortunately this broke the working solution with the 2.6.32.24 kernel.
Meaning I cannot patch the kernel modules like described in #32, which btw always worked fine for me :|
So I went to install the backports. This unfortunately does also not work. Even after I recreated the missing /etc/firmware/gobi dir and copying the necessary files into it.
Looking into the log I find:
usb_wwan: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
Furthermore loading the qcserial module manually returns:
$ sudo modprobe qcserial
FATAL: Error inserting qcserial (/lib/modules/
Could anyone give me a heads up what this means?
thx in advance
Lapis
btw: my stats:
$ uname -a

Usually it means that one kernel module has been compiled against different
headers than the kernel (or another kernel module providing some functions).
In your case there seems to be some mismatch in the usb_wwan module. The invalid
module format is just a misleading result of failing to load usb_wwan as a
dependency.
Doing a quick test there seems to be no problem for me to probe it after
updating the kernel and linux-backports
I am not sure what you patch and why as the gobi_loader and the updated kernel
modules are part of the backports package in Lucid.

Hi Stefan,
thx for the fast reply.
As I recently got a new SSD.. I am going to reinstall the system anyway.
So if I end up with being able to use it then .. I am fine.
What I did:
I installed and used the gobi-loader manually and patched the kernel
modules as described by tnf. in comment #32.
As of the kernal update to revision *.25 the patch does not apply to the
ne sources. So I skipped the manual patching and used apt-get to
retrieve and install the latest wwan backports matching the linux kernel
on my machine.
This is when I ended up with my system not recognising the modem anymore.
As far as I know I could always go back to the latest working kernel
(since grub keeps it somewhere) and use the modem there. But this would
be a not so fine workaround ;)
hf and thx

The patch from comments #14 and #15 no longer applies cleanly to latest Lucid kernel (2.6.32-25.44). An updated patch is attached.
Since I need to rebuild the modules every time a kernel update comes out, I do it using the following script. It's based on the instructions from comment #14 but also rebuilds thinkpad_acpi.
#!/bin/sh -ex

Hi Brian,
thx for the shell script. Unless the backports do not work for me, I wanted to give it a try. But as I as scanning what the script does and running the single commands it expresses by hand, I realized the 'thinkpad_acpi.c' is not available in the parent dir. Could you please give me a hint how to get it or where to find it else.
Thanks for your help.

Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) wrote : | #152 |
Are there clear instructions for where to find the firmware in the first
place?
Brian (x-brian) wrote : | #153 |
@ Mark #152
I don't think there are clear instructions--part of that is because firmware has to be obtained from the hardware manufacturer, and they are only provided in Windows driver packages. Mine came from Dell, so I had to pry the firmware out of the Dell Windows drivers. Others have to get it from Lenovo, HP, etc. The md5sums are available for at least a couple of firmware sources above, but there's probably a need for some kind of HowTo or something.

Is this problem already fixed in the mainstream kernel. The WLAN modules are broken for quite a while now.... A fix should be this hard? An status report would be appreciated.

The kernel modules in Maverick and onward are fine. gobi_loader is a separate
package there.
darren (darrenm) wrote : | #156 |
So if it doesn't work we should file bugs against gobi_loader?
Stefan Bader (smb) wrote : | #157 |
I could think of two cases. If the usb id for your modem is in the udev rules
file provided by the package and the firmware files get loaded but it does not
work, the problem would rather be the kernel (linux) package.
If the udev rules miss the id and there is no indication that the firmware is
tried to load, then the problem should be reported against the loader.
Any case it helps to have problems reported separately as things work for some
people and this hints that this is rather a problem very specific to a certain
make of hardware.
Anders Østerholt (diebels) wrote : | #158 |
Howto for Maverick, generic UMTS on Thinkpads:
Download and extract windows driver install file from Lenovo. http://
Install a recent wine as 1.2 crashes during msi extraction.
Run the install file with wine.
Extract firmware from GobiInstaller.msi. mkdir ~/.wine/
install "gobi-loader"
Copy firmware into /lib/firmware/gobi. sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/gobi; cd ~/.wine/
Do a reboot or modem-manger restart and qcserial unload load. sudo pkill modem-manager; sudo rmmod qcserial; sudo modprobe qcserial
You should now have a "New Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection..." in the nm-applet. If not, do the thing in the previous paragraph or have a look at syslog

The workaround is *not* working for me, I cannot activate the device from Ubuntu. lsusb shows

and when I run
sudo gobi_loader -2000 /dev/ttyUSB0 /lib/firmware/gobi
it just hangs. :-(
However, if I boot into Windows and initiate the Verizon connection there, and then reboot back into Ubuntu, the setup DOES work - I see "Verizon connection" in the network manager dropdown; the lsusb shows "05c6:9205"; and I can connect, disconnect, reconnect successfully. Unfortunately, after suspend and resume, or after shutdown and powering back on, the device is deactivated (05c6:9204) and I can't reactivate it from Ubuntu.
Any ideas? What additional info can I provide to help debug this?

Just followed the steps given by Anders (comment 158) and now I can see the new Mobile Broadband connection in the NetworkManager applet. But, when I try to use it, 3G won't work, the connection only sets up in GSM mode (not even GPRS mode). Of course, I can use that connection with 3G or GPRS when using the external usb dongle.
Any idea why this would happen?
When I configure the mobile broadband connection to force using only 3G, syslog says:

This still seems to be broken on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x86_64. This worked about a year ago, but stopped working with some kernel upgrade, probably somewhere near 2.6.32-25. The device does not show up in Network Manager, and "sudo modprobe qcserial" gives the error:
FATAL: Error inserting qcserial (/lib/modules/
Is this perhaps a packaging problem? I think it would be important to restore the functionality of this device.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.
If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and tag it kj-linux-meta, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.
