Heidi, The Conexant package no longer seems relevant, and this list generally does not support wireless. But doing a Google search again, there is NEW good news for your: ID 0c88:180a Kyocera Wireless Corp. http://anastasis.googlepages.com/kpc680onubuntulinuxinstructions with solution from Sergiy Zaschipas, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/5/215/418 Basically, to kernel source code, drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c there must be added a line recognizing { USB_DEVICE(0x0c88, 0x180a) } No additional capabilties are thereby added, to those supporting the prior chipset in this series: 0x0c88, 0x17da Then a replacement kernel+modules compiled and installed. http://www.intomobile.com/2007/11/21/kyocera-kpc680-ev-do-rev-a-expresscard-lands-on-verizon.html has the ongoing discussion between others with this problem under Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-19 $ grep AIRPRIME /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_AIRPRIME=m -------- shows that general AirPrime wireless support is enabled already, so only the recognition code { USB_DEVICE(0x0c88, 0x180a) } is necessary to enable the necessary recognition of the KPC680 wireless. The compiled driver that must be replaced is at: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.ko I've searched through http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.26 and this change is not in the new 2.6.26 source code release, or in the new release being developed: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.26-rc8/2.6.26-rc8-mm1/announce.txt Thus this fix must for now be done manually. This is beyond your current experience. May give it a try for you, but it may take a few days.
