Hello.

I was searching for solution to make Suse 11.4 connected to Internet thru this device.

I found a solution which is not exactly what i want. Need some help. Full post

**My question. Do i need to load firmware? Or maybe there is simplest way to connect? **
I cant see this device in Network manager.

OK.
Solution is wicked :slight_smile:
gobi_loader don’t support this device yet. But if u got windows installed and everything works fine with conection just reboot Windows (U can also play with Conection Manager settings to not turn off device while closing itself) and load Linux.
Firmware is loaded and device works fine.
Make sure that u load module on start : qcserial.
IF NOT
vi /etc/sysconfig/kernel
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=“qcserial”

IF there is any other option at this moment to load firmware to this device please let me know!

U think that’s it.

I was trying to setup Mobile Broadband connection using NetworkManager and then BUM.

Bug 255855 - Unable to add unlisted mobile broadband provider

Don’t worry

zypper in mobile-broadband-provider-info

will fix it.
