[clug-talk] Help: Roger's Mobile on EeePC

[TekBudda]

Hi Gang,

I am trying to help a Linux newbie get his Roger's Mobile Rocket Stick 
working on his EeePC 901.

The stick is a Novatel Wireless MC950D & it is supported by Linux.  I 
have been checking through a number of sites that all say that what they 
try works.

According to Novatel's site 
(http://www.novatelwireless.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=176&Itemid=331) 
the card needs to be activated on a Windows machine...which it has...and 
when i get to the modprobe section ("sudo modprobe usbserial 
vendor=0x1410 product=0x[prodID]") I get an error about the usbserial 
not being correct (or something like that..I can't recall error at the 
moment) & something about checking dmesg...which I did & found a 
reference to the vendor not being correct...

Sorry for my lack of details at this point..I have banging my head on 
this all day & haven't been able to figure it out yet.  I found a few 
moe things to try....but I am hoping someone out there may have had some 
luck with this already.
