Support for Samsung Blackjack 2 Mobile Broadband

user · June 7, 2009, 9:36pm

I am having an issue getting Gnome’'s Network Manager to connect to ATT broadband network through my Samsung Blackjack 2.

I no the service works because if I boot into Windows I can connect just fine and if I put the SIM card into my unused Sierra 881 I can connect with no problem, so I am confident teathering is functional.

I added the following lines to " /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi" so the network-manager applet would reconize the hardware which it does but it will just not connect except for one time and that time it worked GREAT!

  &lt;!-- Samsung SGH-617 (AT&T Blackjack 2) --&gt;
  &lt;match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x04e8"&gt;
    &lt;match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x6640"&gt;
      &lt;match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0"&gt;
        &lt;append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist"&gt;GSM-07.07&lt;/append&gt;
        &lt;append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist"&gt;GSM-07.05&lt;/append&gt;
      &lt;/match&gt;
    &lt;/match&gt;
  &lt;/match&gt;

Any ideas or advice would be apreciated
