[New: openFATE 312364] Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple.
Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #312364, revision 1 Title: Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My HP un2400 Gobi device is supported and should work. Whether it is due to USB mode switching or that the gobi_loader does not work correctly I do not know. There should be a simple wizard like that which ships under Windows (VZW connection manager) to allow me and other users in the same situation to easily make us of the Mobile Broadband we pay for. This is the final thing keeping me from wiping Windows off my netbook entirely. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Use of Mobile Broadband is not likely to decline, but rather increase with the proliferation of affordable increasingly powerful Netbooks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312364
