I understand this ugly critter (KPC680 that is!) has been discussed here before, and MarvS had a compiled airprime.ko driver for it? I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid, 2.6.27-4 kernel (unmodified to date). It's doesn't have an airprime.ko file at: /lib/modules/2.6.27-4-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ ...at all. Right now, if I insert the KPC680 cellmodem I do see a blue light and then lsusb says: Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0c88:180a Kyocera Wireless Corp. Network Manager 7 says there's "CDMA Network" card present and will let me connect, but the connection dies after five to ten minutes and if I try to re-connect in NM7 I risk a full system hard-lock. I'm assuming at this point that with airprime.ko totally AWOL it's using "Goddess knows what" for a driver, and whatever it is is screwing up. I assume if Marv or whoever comes through with an airprime.ko file tuned for the KPC680 (or at least the source code?) I can splice it in (modprobe it, or ???). Thanks, Jim March
