This works in theory but I'm getting a kernel oops when using modprobe, see casastorta/gobiserial#3

I'd highly recommend we drop support for these cards, given the extensive changes they'd require to the current code base. My fork is currenly hacked beyond repair. :)

Instead, I propose we direct people to the Netgear official driver in the wiki or README for these cards, and I can put up a gist of the revision of the driver that worked for @Toukmond, which we can also link for people that have issues with Netgear provided driver.

@ivuk I agree, let's not merge hacks into the tree. If it's not a problem for you, when you have time please write wiki page about this issue, prepare gist and I'll introduce it into the readme.

Did any of these made GPS work on "our" HP laptops? :-)

ivuk commented 10 years ago

The wiki page is up, as well as the gist with the somewhat working version of the driver.

As far as Gobi 3000 GPS is concerned, I honestly have no idea, I've mostly focused on testing if the module loads properly after all those changes, I did very little functional testing. That said, I highly doubt any of those fixes would've had any effect on GPS, unless it was a lucky coincidence.

Once you've taken a look at the additions, I'd recommend we remove this commit from the codebase altogether.
