Verizon EVDO express card and Ubuntu 8.04 HH

[wesy2kn1]

Question for anyone out there. I'm getting ready to go on a trip so I'm going to have to figure this out soon if possible. I just replaced windows completely (yay me) with the latest edition of Ubuntu and have everything configured except....

my Verizon Wireless EVDO modem. It is a Kyocera KPC 680 express card. I have tried to get help through the Ubuntu forums last week, but I really haven't been able to figure this thing out. Here is the link to that forum post if you would like to see what was discussed. link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=802939)

thanks in advance!

At least it seems to have detected the card.

Can you post the config file of your kernel from the /boot directory?

[wesy2kn1]

Can you post the config file of your kernel from the /boot directory?

what file would that be exactly? sorry a little new.

[falko]

A file beginning with config. You can find out about your current kernel by running
uname -r

[wesy2kn1]

ok it won't let me paste the contents of the config file for some reason but i can tell you i am using config-2.6.24- 17- generic

[falko]

I need to see the contents...

[wesy2kn1]

ok i emailed them to the address provided on your site.

[falko]

I don't see a module for the Kyocera device in the kernel config, so the problem most likely is that there's no driver yet for it...
