HP UN2400 WWAN HELP

[phoenixfire425]

I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

 

I am trying to get my WWAN (hp un2400) card working...

My laptop is a HP 311-1037nr

 

I am not sure of the steps i should be taking to get this to work. I am able to use it under windows and lunix but not osx 10.6.7

 

any help would be great!!!

 

Thank You

I tried to get a firmware loader working under OSX, but no joy yet (for those who don't know the gobi, you have to load the firmware file before the WWAN will be recognized) - right now I can only get the gobi to work using an awful hack... 1) install vmware fusion, 2) create a win7 vm, 3) install the gobi driver in the win7 vm, 4) if the driver was made for your laptop, you can probably just run from the win7 vm - mine was not (Dell D630), so I had to d/l & run gobiloader (google "gobiloader windows 7") to get it to load the firmware file - at that point, the win7 vm recognizes the gobi wwan, & I can either connect from there, or suspend the vm & use the gobi in mac.

 

every time I fire up the Mell (Mac Dell), I have to fire up the vm to run the loader again. sucks.

 

note: to use the gobi on the mac side, I had to d/l & install a special kext - google "qualcomm gobi firmware uploader for mac" to find the driver (aka kext) - I installed w/kext helper, then substituted my vendor & product id in the gobi section of the info.plist in the kext (note: the kext installs in the IOUSBFamily plugins, and you have to convert the vendor & product id's to base 10).

 

just fyi, the guy who posted the kext also has a firmware loader for the mac, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to make it work. another fyi, I'm using hp's version 4 win7 driver (sp48568).
