It is a Novatel Wireless Card, using usb-serial driver airprime http://www.novatelwireless.com/support/merlin-xu870-linux.html > At a guess I would say that whatever ppp channel code is being used > hasn't left any header room on a received skb, but without knowing > what ppp channel module is being used it's hard to say. > > Paul. After some Experiments with 2.6.21-rc (2.6.20 crash with airprime on boot), i belive its the wrong driver. To enable Support for this Card i added the pci-device string to airprime.c --------- 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(0x1410, 0x1430) }, /* Novatel Wireless Merlin XU870 */ { }, }; --------- drivers/usb/serial/airprime.c ----------- After reading some Information about option.c, i saerch and found the Device-String in option.c After Loading this Modul, the card works now for me. Best Regards and Great Thx for helping me Stephan
