I have the engineering contacts in Motorola to get their dongle/drivers. For Beceem and Asus, my boss has the contacts thru some sort of partnership.

I had to do the same trick with the mass storage for my Sprint EVDO U720 dongle. I had one of the early version and it started to work after a firmware upgrade as you said. What I need at the end of the day is a WiMAX device (preferably a dongle or PCMCIA) with drivers available for Linux. I went to the Asus website but they don't seem to offer the option. Did you get it through regular sales channels or directly from the engineering department ? Seems like it is only available in Asia or Russia (I'm in the U.S) I would not mind going the Beceem/Motorola road if it is available. My experience with early test version of the PMCIA Beceem card was horrendous, even under Windows. Did you get the hardware/software through your connections at your previous job ? How would one get his hands on the software/hardware combo ? Nicolas On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 2:45 PM, charles zhuang <charlesz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I have tried it. I can get out of the mass storage mode, but I don't know how to make the dongle go back into the normal mode. My Asus contact told me that they have some new software and firmware that can do better, but their engineering team is really slow to address my question. Any way, Beceem and Motorola software and hardware can address my need, so I gave up on Intel/Asus.

Talking without having seen it, it should work if we can get the dongle to exit the mass storage mode and enter the normal mode. We'd need asus to explain how to do that, or someone should try the suggestions Dan Williams made of using an SCSI eject command on it. -- Inaky -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
