Hi All,

Here is the latest driver version from Option.

Changes:
- Added frame length lower boundary checking
- Catch failed opens and unwanted closes.
- Set DTR/RTS at open()
- Add hso_tiocmset() locking
- Use usb_unlink_urb() when in_interrupt iso usb_kill_urb()
- Removed 'Suspend' modinfo and replace with more general 'Flags'
which should contain all relevant compiler defines.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,

I've got an option modem provided by Telenor in norway - marked model no. GI0205 on the back.

I can switch the modem using usb_modeswitch and get a option device appearing when doing lsusb, but the modem is not using the hso driver.

The modem has device id: 0af0:6901 which I see is NOT on the list above.

Can I use the hso driver with the above card? Can I configure usb_modeswitch to give me the right device id somehow?

What about the option module (this is built into the default eee-kernel) - I don't quite understand the difference between this and hso... I take it HSOConnect does NOT work with the option module - what does?

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi Gromgull,

The device you have is configured to use the normal option.ko driver and therefore will create /dev/ttyUSB? interfaces when it is plugged in.

You can use the UMTSmon program to control this device.

Paul

I'm using this driver on a custom 2.6.19.2 kernel, with 2 GTM380s.

While the driver largely works, I'm worried that some of the kernel warnings I'm getting may be 'not helping' some of the other issues I have with the boards the GTM380's are mounted on. Would someone take a look at the warnings I do have and either explain what exactly they mean (I know in general the first is calling code it shouldn't in an IRQ, and the second is complaining that a prior invocation is leaving stuff behind that it wants,) and if I don't need to worry about them, why I don't?

Upon booting and loading hso:

The .deb package installed fine for me on Ubuntu 8.04.1 with the latest updates. Do you recommend installing umtsmon? Wvdial seems not to work for me at the moment. Should some sort of USB configuration be the next step? I have an Option GX0201 Cingular GT MAX 3.6 ("7.2 Ready") that I upgraded to firmware 2.5.3 Hd using the generic updater...there's also a Vodafone one available. I'm using GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager in Vista, and haven't set up my PC Card slot in OSX86 yet.

Many thanks,

Hi All,

I have posted a 1.5 version of the driver. I have now closed this thread.
