LTE Modem
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 6:48 am
Hallo!
I use Linux Mint since version 11. I am very happy with it and its my gate to the linux world.
I was able to solve most problems in the past with google, but today i need to ask the community.
Yesturday i bought a new laptop, a Fujitsu Lifebook E782 with a built-inm lte (4G) modem.
I installed Linux Mint 13 - 64 bit with KDE, everythings works fine, but not the modem!
I dont have experience with this type of components.
I know from the Fujitus datasheet that it is a "sierra wireless gobi 3000" 4G modem.
with "lsusb" i got as result:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1199:68a2 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
In google i found the info 1199 is the vendor id, 68a2 is the product id. I tried a command i have found in the internet to load the device - i had to insert 0x1199 and 0x68a2 into the command... Sorry i cant remember the complete string. The command run for a part of a second and gave no result back to me. I cant determine a change.
In the GUI for the network configuration in KDE (NetworkManager) are the tabs wired, wireless, mobile broadband,vpn and dsl.
All of them are active, only mobile broadband isnt!
What can i do to solve this issue?
I dont know what is the problem, is the modem not active or must it be mounted to a special path,...?
All updates are installed.
Thanks for your help!
