Hello,

Reading http://www.ezunix.com/index.php?title=HSDPA-UMTS-EDGE-GPRS I
tried to use my Dell/Novatel HSDPA Modem (on Dell D430). It seems my
card is not the exact same as the one in the document. So I tried to
figure out how to have it recognised. I did patche my -HEAD sources
according to the attached diff.

This gives me the following dmesg:
ugensa0 at uhub5 port 2
ugensa0: Novatel Wireless Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 3
ugensa0: unexpected endpoint
ucom0 at ugensa0: Generic Serial Device

The usbdevs commands says:
 port 2 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, product 0xa005(0xa005), 
vendor 0x413c(0x413c), rev 50.18
  port 1 powered
  port 2 addr 3: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, Novatel Wireless HSDPA 
Modem(0x8116), Novatel Wireless(0x413c), rev 0.00

As I have absolutely no knowledge about kernel-hacking, I don't know if
this is enough to have the HSDPA card working. Configuring and running
ppp as described in the webpage, the logs said:

I don't know yet what's my #ispnumber and I don't think the SIM
has a phone number as it is supposed to be DATA only. But I'll check
those as soon as I'm sure the kernel configuration is correct :-)

Can anyone tell me if the diffs are enough to have that HSDPA card
working ? Or is there more to do, explaining the "ugensa0: unexpected
endpoint" ?

TIA,
        Jo
