Gobi_loader is a crucial component for people using gobi chipsets for mobile broadband. It seems like an odd oversight to not have it included on the .iso much less in official repos.
I'm considering buying one of the newer Lenovo Thinkpad T series notebooks. It would be great that we include the Gobi loader in the official repo.
Can we not get an "out of the box" installation working for the Thinkpad series? How is it that Ubuntu can have special cds that are certified just for these notebooks?
We were able to get full support for Samsung. Can we do this for the Thinkpads?
Cheers!

I was discussing with someone on linkedin about that http://www.linkedin.com/e/s53ep8- go5mrl13-41/vaq/55050934/145239/4035237 8/view_disc/
That's not possible to see unless you are a member of linkedin :(
Ubuntu has the ability to push any proprietary software as they want. Not us. We have to do with that.
Since when is support for the laptop "proprietary software"?
Support for the WWAN chip is. It's the one that requires proprietary firmware from Qualcomm.
-Jeff The gobi_loader should be included to enable the hardware to work. Of course we can't ship the firmware unless we had a deal with Qualcomm. I don't expect

I saw a good guide on the linux lenovo forums that helped with that. But the gobi_loader itself is purely FOSS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
