[NTLUG:Discuss] Any idea how to get a Sprint EVDOwirelessbroadband card to

[David Trusty]

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  I tried to do the same thing under SUSE and got this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
linux:~/evdo # modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x1110
linux:~/evdo # wvdialconf wvdial.conf
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Port Scan<*1>: S0   S1   S2   S3
ttyS4<Info>: No such device or address
Port Scan<*1>: S4
ttyS5<Info>: No such device or address
Port Scan<*1>: S5
ttyS6<Info>: No such device or address
Port Scan<*1>: S6
ttyS7<Info>: No such device or address
Port Scan<*1>: S7


Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The card is plugged in.  Any ideas?

Thanks!!

David
