[Solved] Dell E6500 Wireless 5530 HSDPA Minicard - Intrepid
After a long night of fighting I finally solved this problem. The solution is as follows:
Turn on the RF Circuit Power Code:
AT+CFUN=1 1) Install Kernel Source 2) Patch options.c with http://markmail.org/message/bidokb5yg34akroh 3) Compile the module Code:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-6-generic/build M=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.27/drivers/usb/serial/ 5) Create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-acm Code:
# Don't load cdc-acm blacklist cdc-acm Code:
option 7) Create a /etc/wvdial.conf file Code:
[Dialer Defaults] New PPPD = yes Stupid Mode = 1 [Dialer pin] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB10 Init1 = AT+CPIN=<put your pin here> [Dialer On] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB10 Init1 = AT+CFUN=1 [Dialer Off] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB10 Init1 = AT+CFUN=4 [Dialer 5530] Init1 = AT Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = USB Modem Modem = /dev/ttyUSB10 Baud = 460800 ISDN = 0 Phone = *99***1# Password = password Username = username 9) Run "wvdial On" to turn on the RF power (wait a few seconds for it to register on the network) 10) Run "wvdial 5530" to connect to the net 11) ^C to disconnect 12) Run "wvdial Off" to turn off the RF power to save power And thats it Hi All, I have recently got a Dell E6500 which has a 5530 HSDPA GSM card. I have patched the kernel option.c file with http://markmail.org/message/bidokb5yg34akroh dmesg now shows: Quote:

Thanks for the info. I was able to plug in your /etc/wvdial.conf, and was up and running in no time.
Now, on to the built-in gps receiver! Have you gotten it to work? paul |
