Hs2300 HSDPA wireless modem

Hi All,

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… :slight_smile:

Thanks for helping a newby out.

I envisage this is what is called mobile broadband;

one way to configure is

PHARscape | NetworkManager 0.7.0 and 3G WWAN Modems How-To

go half-way down the page to

“Create a mobile broadband connection”

you need to google search on apn settings for the network you are signed up to:

eg this page

GPRS Connectivity - Information and UK Settings

describes the apn settings for UK providers;

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 …

ID 03f0:1e1d

Hi pdc_2,

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.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Corne
