Please do not try to update firmware to CCU650 with CCU680 firmware.

If you try it, then your device does not operate anymore.

The CCU650 supports only 1xEVDO Rev.0.

Linux - Ubuntu driver - With explanations on how to make it work

We are currently looking into what flavors and variations of linux it will run on.

Please let me know, if and when I will have a good working driver for our receiver, how I can UPLOAD the file, so everybody interested will can use it.

Then you could use a program such as gppp, kppp vwdial or another dialup
program to make a dialup connection through that device.

Guess its abit of a longshot.

This is on my list of things to do.

Thank you very much for updating me of your own progress in this

I did not hear anything from my connection, i could always send a new mail perhaps.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

As Yoy can see, the USB port
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 16d8:6803
looks to be configurated.. even too many “invalid”…
After this, I tried to install the Win setup using wine, but it wasn’t working..
Now I will try to emulate again the Win setup, NOT including the drivers…
BOH!!! May be that sw will use the “NDswrapped” driver to make a call …
I’m very sceptical….
No news from Your friends?
Curiosly, now my laptop DON’T SEE the USB HDD inside the CCU680… I don’t know if this is good or not :S
Again, NO NEWS from C-Motech…. As usual!!
Ciao…

Yes i am aware that the CCU-680 and the CDU-680 does have some firmware differences inside.

And on my macintosh box the CDU-680 branded connection manager does all of my CCU-680 connection and hardware handling.

But then after seeing you trying to make a connection in Linux, there seems to be no such luck with the Linux software.

Some linux based router hardware out there however does support the CCU-680.

You might also want to try “NDISWRAPPER”.
This is originally a project created for 802.11a/b/g style network.

It is a translation layer so that windows wireless networking devices will work on Linux based on their windows driver.

It is reported that many other devices work aswell, and not only 802.11a/b/g devices.

I have mailed a friend of mine which sells some of these linux based routers if he would be so kind as to provide additional information.

That’s all…
Whit Linux 64bit, much wronger..
Excuse me, what is inside the _MACOSX folder? the Original from Franklin?
Again, I wrote (about 10 days ago) directly to the C-MOTEC company, and I had a feedback…:
They are looking for a solution…. :-((
Do you think that emulating whit “wine” it should work? (I don’t think so, but….)
Boh… Today my ISP is down. so I must use Vista with CCU680…. GRRRRRR!!!!
CIAO!! Massimo

I was able to download from the “Franklin” website.

I edited the default script so that it includes usernames and passwords used for CAT telecom.

I do not have any ubuntu installation myself, so i am unable to try myself at this time.

Please inform me of any success or failure.

You can download what you need from here: CCU-680 Ubuntu

Unzip the Zipfile to your desktop and you will find the instructions inside.

The instructions are:

Copy the Linux Folder from your device to your Desktop
Open terminal
cd to Desktop/Linux
Run “sudo ./connect”
Enter root password
Device will switch to modem mode and attempt to connect.

Press Ctrl-C twice to disconnnect
