![]() ![]() To install High Sierra on the third-party SSD, I had to open the iMac again, put an OEM Apple HDD back, install an OS before high Sierra, then upgrade to High Sierra, installing the Firmware in the process. I forget the exact message, or if there even was one, but I think I wasn't even able to start the install process because the SSD showed as greyed out on the installer when picking the installation drive. The issue appeared when I went to do a clean install of High Sierra on the new SSD. I swapped with a third-party SSD and cloned the OS from another Mac I had and was running High Sierra on it just fine. The reason why is because I pulled a failing HDD from the Mac that only had Yosemite installed. I could install earlier OS versions, but not High Sierra. I have personally had a firmware issue on an iMac that prevented me from installing High Sierra to an non-Apple SSD. ![]() Also, make sure your device is activated in Windows before you try using it in Linux.Click to expand.I don't know why either, maybe there was a problem updating the firmware. Since Sprint is is popular provider, there should be lots of guides out there to help you figure out phone numbers and passwords. ![]() Wvdial and Kinternet are both good because you can watch the log and see what’s going on during the dialing, connecting and authentication process, and use the error message information to troubleshoot any problems. Some providers require a password only (usually your phone the name of your provider) others require a username and a password, and still others don’t require either one.ĥ.) Once you have all that info, you can try dialing out and making a connection. Plus I could read watch the connection process and read the various error messages.Ĥ.) Once you have a program that recognizes your device and is capable of dialing out, you need to figure out what the correct phone number is, and whether you need to use a username and/or password. ![]() I settled on Kinternet, since I was familiar with that program after being on a dial up connection for many years. You can also use one of the Wvdial configuration files from the Ubuntu thread and try connecting in the terminal with Wvdial. I tried it and I could not connect, and had a hard time figuring out what was going on because I could not see what the program was doing and what was going wrong. Some people report very easy installs using this method. That would be the first thing I would try. The Gnome Network Manager has an automatic CDMA configuration utility which works practically as plug and play for certain devices. The choices are Wvdial, Network Manager, Kinternet or KPPP. Kinternet uses a wizard, and Wvdial requires you modify the configuration file.ģ.) figure out which program works best to connect to the internet. See if there is a listing for it in Yast / Hardware Information under USB devices.Ģ.) configure it as a USB device (USB0 in my case) in either Kinternet or Wvdial. The basic idea for getting wireless broadband to work is:ġ.) make sure the device is recognized by the kernel. HowTo set up EVDO card or usb enabled phone(CDMA) - Ubuntu Forums]( ) Yast / Network Devices / Modems does not recognize my Kyocera card, but if I go ahead and configure it as “/dev/ttyUSB0” and enter the correct information (username, password, baud rate) Kinternet can create a connection that works just like a regular dial-up internet connection.Īssuming your device is CDMA based, here is a good guide from the Ubuntu forums on using wvdial to connect to your provider: I use a Kyocera PCMCIA broadband wireless card, and it is detected as a USB device and uses the airprime driver. If not, this is a bad sign, and I would not hold out a lot of hope for the device working. I think if the device is detected, that’s a good indication it has been detected by the kernel and is likely configurable. When you boot up your machine and the hardware detection codes go by, do you see an an “airprime driver” mentioned at USB0, USB1, and or USB3? ![]()
