Verizon EVDO express card and Ubuntu 8.04 HH

Question for anyone out there. I'm getting ready to go on a trip so I'm going to have to figure this out soon if possible. I just replaced windows completely (yay me) with the latest edition of Ubuntu and have everything configured except....

my Verizon Wireless EVDO modem. It is a Kyocera KPC 680 express card. I have tried to get help through the Ubuntu forums last week, but I really haven't been able to figure this thing out. Here is the link to that forum post if you would like to see what was discussed. link

thanks in advance!

At least it seems to have detected the card.

Can you post the config file of your kernel from the /boot directory?

 

what file would that be exactly? sorry a little new.

 

A file beginning with config. You can find out about your current kernel by running

Code:

uname -r

 

ok it won't let me paste the contents of the config file for some reason but i can tell you i am using config-2.6.24- 17- generic

 

I need to see the contents...

 

ok i emailed them to the address provided on your site.

 

I don't see a module for the Kyocera device in the kernel config, so the problem most likely is that there's no driver yet for it...
