Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17
The Novatel UX870 HSDPA (using the airprime module) card is supported in 2.6.20 but not 2.6.17 (edgy). These cards are very common with carriers such as Sprint (USA) and 3 (Australia) for accessing wireless broadband services and are one of the only decent ways of accessing this kind of service using Linux. The only difference between airprime in 2.6.17 and 2.6.20 in terms of this devices functionality are the device id's. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Notvatel Merlin UX870 HDSPA card not supported on Kernel 2.6.17 https://launchpad.net/bugs/84485 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
