I have just moved over from MS to Linux and so far I am pretty happy (couple of frustrations along the way, but nothing I could not sort out so far).
Except this little bit that has me bogged down.
I am trying to get my HS2300 HSDPA wireless modem to work, but I am a little stuck here.
I found a post that I should get the HP-WMI module to load. That was a post on an older kernel and this guy mentioned that is should be included in newer versions of the kernel.
modprobe did not deliver any results, however an “lsmod |grep wmi” delivered the following:
“lsmod |grep wmi
hp_wmi 8664 0
rfkill 28176 4 hp_wmi,bluetooth,cfg80211
wmi 9600 1 hp_wmi”
Obviously I need to look for hp_wmi, but so far I cannot get anything to work.
What am I missing in this case? Or what knowledge do I lack at the moment…
for some reason, OpenSuse has not implemented the mobile broadband information that other distros provide as routine, so you need to enter these yourself;
is any of this of any help?
I envisage that if you type
lsusb
in a terminal, you should get … somewhere in the results …
I didn’t imagine it would be that simple…
I will check the solutions you describe and let you know what is the outcome of this. I checked the lsusb command and I indeed have the Bus 004 Device 002: ID 03f0:1e1d Hewlett-Packard
device.
Which means the system already knows it is there, I just need to configure it.
