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/55050934/145239/403523 78/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.

Uh Greg sorry, my mistake about the linkedin link post. (I've stamp my brain to double check link with another anoymous browser before posting here)
Good resume was done by Jeff, we just need a way to get the firmware available in a user friendly way in openSUSE. which is what gobi_lodaer is attempt to resolve.
I totally agree about the integration, test, support should come from us. Could be my case if I can get my new lappy but this is at least a 1 month and a half delay.
Resume of the post from linkedin
Look at here for the latest drivers https://www.codeaurora.org/patches/quic/gobi/ dated from 18/19 May
Also an interesting page http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Gobi_2000 with a lots of information for 2000 series and most of them should apply to 3000 series.
Perhaps those small package is all what you need
=en&exclude_debug=true I can't confirm without the device to test it, but seems to be the solution.
Unfortunately, I've to wait to get a new laptop with 3000 chipset inside. My choice is not yet made against a new Dell Precision M6600 or hp 8760w or Lenovo W702.
/end No, gobi_loader loads the firmware from a direcctory. It does not retrieve any firmware. In order to get firmware in a friendly way, we either need a wizard
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=gobi&baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.4&lang that can pull from the Windows partition, or make a deal with qualcomm. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
