Hi, I've read the wiki but am a bit unsure as my kernel wasn't stated as being one to compile the driver for or alternatively that the card is included for. I would like to get my card/kernel combination working but is there support for the 2.37.6 kernel? The machine is a Lenovo X220 with the Ericsson 5521gw WWAN chip running Salix 64bit (based on Slackware). As a network manager am running Wicd. Is there any chance of me getting this combo to work or could someone advise/help me in anyway? Am very new to WWAN and Mobile Broadband - although am a Cisco Engineer by trade and have been using UNIX/Linux for 10+ years. :-) Thanks for any responses! Regards, Kaya |

Hi! There is no native support in the 2.6.37 kernel (unless you want to use PPP, in that case you're good to go). You'll have to compile the NCM driver according to http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mbm/index.php?title=MBM#For_f5521gw_modules I don't know if wicd works with mobile broadband modules. If it uses ModemManager as a backend then it should be ok (or if it uses PPP) otherwise you'd probably need to look at ModemManager/NetworkManager or oFono/connman, alternativley just use PPP with wvdial or similar tool.

In the mean time I switched over to Fedora 16 with full support for my notebooks hardware features. It works much better and I have access to everything that the machine contains :-) Regards, Kaya |
