Mobi + Linux....help?

XhacK

Hey guys,

I downloaded ubuntu 9.10 and I want to get my (friend's) mobi to work on it.

So do you know how to do this?
I already came across this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MobileWirelessBroadband
and I'm gonna do these steps once I get back home but if anyone who dealt with this before can give me some tips (correct driver to use..etc) that would be great.

I got it working on my Mac, should be easier on linux.

EDIT : Just noticed no Linux support?

This is for windows and Mac only...I guess this is the link of the linux driver port:http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibdriver/

But my question is which version should I use?

P.S: thanks anyway ;)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibdriver/ ?

The drivers provided on http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibdriver/ will not work with Ubuntu 9.10.

You need to apply the patch for kernel 2.6.31 (assuming that's the kernel verison for Ubuntu 9.10) provided here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2922499&group_id=138984&atid=742190

Note, that I haven't tried this myself.

Thanks razm, I already figured that out, the latest ibdriver will NOT work on the latest Ubuntu release since the kernel 2.6.31 is not yet supported so a patch should be used.

I have not used the one razm posted but hopefully it's the same patch...

And since this is my first post from Ubuntu...."Hello World!" :-)
