It only supports hardware based on newer Qualcomm chipsets that speak the proprietary QMI protocol, which is mainly for MSM72xx, 8xxx, and 9xxx. > In the sources/modinfo I don't find > > ID 1199:683c Sierra Wireless, Inc. This device is already supported by the 'sierra' serial driver. The IDs were added to the kernel on 2009-06-11 and was part of the 2.6.31 and later kernels. Unless your kernel is really, really old, it should already work. > What have I to do to get the info, if the device really not supported? > > ati gives the following information: > > Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Inc. > Model: MC8790 > Revision: K1_1_1_9AP C:/WS/FW/K1_1_1_9AP/MSM6290/SRC 2009/03/03 15:24:39 > FSN: D662409039610 > 3GPP Release 6 > +GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES This indicates that the device is based on the Qualcomm MSM6290 chip, which does not support QMI. This generation of Sierra devices only speak DIAG, CnS, and AT. And obviously you've found one of the AT-capable ports, so that indicates the modem is already supported by the 'sierra' driver. > Because it is an built in device and it is not my own notebook, I would need a > test which is easy and fast to made.(via livecd or bootable usb-stick) > > Does 'echo "xxxx yyyy" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id' or > something like that also work with qmi-wwan ? No, this device cannot be supported by qmi-wwan because it does not speak QMI. However, it should already be recognized by the 'sierra' driver and should be perfectly capable of data calls via PPP on one of the serial ports the sierra driver exposes.
