[edit] EVDO card
Note: Credits goes to Samat Jain
The airprime driver doesn't recognize the card. So I had to insert an extra line in /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c to reflect Dell's vendor and device codes:
| Code: /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c |
static struct usb_device_id id_table [] = {
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0c88, 0x17da) }, /* Kyocera Wireless KPC650/Passport */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8115) }, /* Dell Wireless HSDPA 5500 */
{ USB_DEVICE(0x413c, 0x8128) }, /* THIS LINE ADDED FOR Dell Wireless HSDPA 5700 */
};

[edit] Sound
The builtin microphone requires the snd-usb-audio module:
| Linux Kernel Configuration: |
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
USB devices --->
<M> USB Audio/MIDI driver
|
The /etc/modprobe.d/alsa file is then edited to make snd-hda-intel card 0 and snd-usb-audio card 1:
| File: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa |
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel index=0 options snd-card-1 index=1 options snd_usb_audio index=1 |
and to make sure you are set up to have two cards:
| File: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa |
options snd cards_limit=2 |
Afterwards run update-modules.
Finally add this file:
| File: /etc/modprobe.d/snd-usb-audio |
options snd-usb-audio model=dell |
Afterwards run update-modules.
[edit] MMC Card reader
Doesn't seem to work. This seems to be a problem in Windows as well.
