I usually do a sudo pkill modem-manager to get things rolling, no need to do wvdial

The problem with the gobi-rules is that some machines boot too fast and the gobi_loader currently has no error checking…will fix when I get a moment…

the Qualcomm device works for me, too. Here are the details for ThinkPad Edge users.

System information:
root@ThinkPad-Edge:~/qual# uname -a
Linux ThinkPad-Edge 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:02:26 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Model: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13″, Type: 0196-2EG

Download the sources and files for the qcserial kernel module, and add the two needed USB ids:
Add these two IDs, first for initial device, second for making the ttyUSB again after successful firmware loading:

static struct usb_device_id id_table[] = {
{USB_DEVICE(0×05c6, 0×9204)}, /* Thinkpad Edge Gobi QDL device */
{USB_DEVICE(0×05c6, 0×9205)}, /* Thinkpad Edge Gobi QDL device */

Confirming the previously posted file information on the firmware files:
root@ThinkPad-Edge:~/qual# ls -las /lib/firmware/gobi

Firmware Loading Complete

After firmware loader (gobi_loader)
root@ThinkPad-Edge:~/qual# lsusb | grep Qualcomm
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05c6:9205 Qualcomm, Inc.

Note on /etc/udev/rules.d/60-gobi.rules:
Do not add your device here – did not work for me and prevented the firmware loader to work properly.

snippet from /var/log/syslog after firmware loader:

Mar 11 08:47:32 ThinkPad-Edge kernel: [ 100.402312] usb 1-5: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Ubuntu’s network-manager refused to “recognize” the device when trying to add a mobile broadband connection (no device to be selected in the first dialogue), so use wvdial in the meantime:

wvdial script example for Vodafone Germany (wvdial.conf):
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = *99***1#
Username = YOUR_USERNAME
Password = YOUR_PASSWORD
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”web.vodafone.de”
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Auto DNS = 1
Check Def Route = 1
Baud = 230400
Stupid Mode = 1
New PPPD = yes
Carrier check = no

PPPD takes a while to get the IP, but it works.

All the best, and thanks to the gobi_loader and qcserial contributors!
Best Matthias.

The reason I’m asking is something messed up all my UIDs on my phone last week, which most posts seem to say can happen after an update. All my apps could not longer read/write their respective data folder and I ended up wiping the phone and re-installing everything. Seems suspicious to me after you mentioned it, but I didn’t have any log files to check after I wiped the phone. Do you get prompted to run the ROM update or does it happen automatically?

That whole lack of access to backup the data folder without root is annoying, but that’s another thread. Fortunately I had exported whatever data I could before our SenseUI upgrade that we only received about a month ago, so I was only “out” a bit of data, but still takes time to reconfigure everything

BTW It was actually my reinstall/reconfiguration that led me to your post that had gotten me a bit excited about tethering getting easier.

We’re supposedly getting our 2.1 upgrade by “midyear” according to the PR rep from our carrier. Canada usually lags behind other counties so that’s good news for you I’m just happy to hear a rumour that we may be able to get paid apps by next week finally.

Interesting thing to note was that there was a recent ROM update, which I strangely got over the air (OTA). Which changed the updater to something more refined in my opinion, but with almost no other changes, so it looks like there’s a significant ROM update coming soon

Oh well, maybe it will be there on the next update. We’re supposedly getting an official 2.1 upgrade this year. Or I’ll get bored/adventurous one day and root my phone and get a custom ROM that includes it now. Just a little too nervous currently about turning my phone into a brick.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I guess I’m stuck with Azilink but it could be much worse.

Ubuntu picks it up fine, Windows XP/7 does not…
Comes up as USB Ethernet

bInterfaceClass 2 Communications
bInterfaceSubClass 2 Abstract (modem)
bInterfaceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific (MSFT RNDIS?)
iInterface 6 HTC Ethernet Sharing

Sorry to bug you on a old post, but just curious where you found that lovely hidden feature? I suspect the latest ROM from Rogers strips it out somehow(??), but worth asking. As far as I can tell, all the versions are the same or slightly higher than yours, and loving the SenseUI as well, but can’t find the tethering feature and wouldn’t mind dropping Azilink as well.

From this and another post of yours, I’m assuming NetworkManager picked it up as a USB device and connected. Nice.

On my side applying this patch to the original qcserial.c finally made the device work :
