Mobidata Edge Modem
Mobidata Edge Modem
Helo,
I'm using Mobidata Usb Modem in other Linux (Ubuntu9.10).
its model is: MBD-100EU
is it compatible in CentOS5.4.
i can't run the "lsusb" because i'm still in the Live CD mood!!!
But the Hardware Service detect it as Mobidata modem.
"dmesg | grep usb" shows the detection but dont attached any of the /dev
also i can't run the "modprobe" command due to Live CD mood!!!
Where (in the web) may i find the supported USB list for CentOS5.4 .
Thanks very much.

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
You can run /sbin/lsusb from the LiveCD as I explained in your [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=23822&forum=39&post_id=93760#forumpost93760]other thread[/url]. The critical information is the pair of 4 digit hex numbers, the [i]Vendor:Device ID pairing[/i]. This will determine if a driver is available. For an example see

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
It detects the modem by /sbin/lsusb something like :
centos@desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID
Bus 005 Device 001: ID
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 10ce:ea6a Silicon Labs MobiData EDGE USB Modem
Bus 002 Device 001: ID
Bus 003 Device 001: ID
Bus 004 Device 001: ID
But do attach in /dev/tty.....
and Is there anything like gnome-ppp in CentOS 5.4 ?
thanks .

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
Unfortunately there seems to be no driver available for that hardware.[code]grep -i 10ce /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i ea6a[/code]returns nothing. You either need to find a driver, acquire compatible hardware, or use a different approach to networking.
Your other thread did mention a Windows machine on the network. Is setting up connection sharing or acquiring a cheap router out of the question?

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
Thanks for keep helping me.
I can install this Modem's (and others) driver by wine.
But wine didn't detect the Modem auto.
If I'm willing to setup CentOS/Linux as server then why should i get help from a Windows Platform ?!?
It is our common local question.
Many people wished to switch in Linux. But stopped due depends on Windows !
As if CentOS is not fulfilled as it should be as a open source software/os.
(But i know Linux based servers are excellent in performance, but for that CentOS have to install first.
i saw in the LiveCD ,that there are some softwares like Graphics,Office,and other non-Networking related
softwares. i hope CentOS authority should exchange them with installation related materials. Cause, we
choose Linux Based OSs for Networking,Browsing Basically)
Thanks for your valuable time.

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
helo, me again,
I've found that my lonely modem is supported in Fedora :[url=https://fedorahosted.org/hwdata/browser/usb.ids?rev=9fe002b2873ddc29b8c01768f9b93095012c3491]here[/url] in line 5131,5132
Since, the softs of fc6 are widely compatible in CentOS (i'm using total fc6 gnome in CentOS)
is it possible to add/import fedora's hardware driver in CentOS 5.4 ? if yes then how ?
thnx

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
Hmmm - looks like it should be possible. Perhaps [b]toracat[/b] or another of our more kernel-module-literate contributors can comment. Might be in the CentOSplus kernel.
Aside: Is there a way to know the list of centosplus kernel modules without installing it, or magic with rpm/cpio/etc.? Perhaps my search-foo is off today, (never mind dredging it up out of wetware long-term storage) but I'm coming up empty.

Re: Mobidata Edge Modem
I've had my tail gently tweaked by [b]toracat[/b] to suggest that I should comment.
Using some of my other search techniques, I see that a driver for a device with the [b]10ce:ea6a[/b] fingerprint was first present in the mainline 2.6.30 kernel . . .
The driver in question is [i]cp210x.c[/i]. It was at [i]v0.08[/i] in the mainline 2.6.30 kernel and went to its current version, [i]v0.09[/i] in the mainline 2.6.31 kernel.
[b]Phil[/b], I can assure you that that driver will not be in the [i]CentOS-Plus[/i] kernel. Any chance you would be able to sniff out the first [i]Fedora[/i] kernel which incorporates the [i]cp210x.c[/i] driver, please? And then point me to the URL to its source?
Depending upon many variables, it [i]may[/i] be possible to back-port it to the [i]EL5 2.6.18-x.y.z.el5[/i] kernel series as a kmod package . . .

Good to have the right man on the job.

I see that I mis-interpreted post#6 as evidence that it was in FC6 and thus likely in the CentOS kernel sources.

Presumably that is to be left as an exercise for the OP. How about it [b]chuina[/b]?

I'm sure that would be much appreciated. Thanks.
