So, where would I look to see what you, Mark, or >Steve did to attempt to get these things working? Well, you could just ask. :-) Basically, the 5220 is a marvel of modern engineering aimed at reducing time to market. Internally it contains a Cardbus bridge, an OHCI USB controller and a Motorala MSM chipset that does the broadband all stuffed inside a PCCard. The interface to the MSM chipset that eCS/OS2 sees looks like a modem. To make it work, the Cardbus needs to be enabled so that the OHCI controller is visible and the usbcom driver needs to be able to detect the modem. For Mark's box, we used cbenable to enable the Cardbus. The usbcom driver was tweaked to detect the modem. The mc5720 miniPCI wireless cards that are supplied with some Thinkpads are essentially the same hardware in a different form factor. To get you card to word, first we would need to figure out what it is, hardware-wise. This is done with pci.exe and usbres.exe. >Sure looked like a bunch of >device drivers got installed under XP when I plugged the card in for the >1st time.... and I guess perhaps the Sprint connection manager would >have to run under some flavor of Odin? This is TBD. The initial set of the PC5220 needed to be done under Windows. I suspect this flashes card with user id info and such. If the connection manager is really just a dialer, Injoy or DOIP will probably work.
