==Serial Ultrabay Enhanced Devices==

The Serial Ultrabay Enhanced bay has the same width and depth as the Serial Ultrabay Slim, but is 3mm higher. So Ultrabay Slim devices will mechanically fit but leave a gap of about 3mm at the top. There is no official 2nd HDD adapter for the Serial Ultrabay Enhanced. To add a harddisk (or SSD) instead of the optical bay, Lenovo recommends to use the thinner [[Ultrabay_Slim_ThinkPad_Serial_Hard_Drive_Bay_Adapter_III|Serial Ultrabay Slim Hard Drive Bay Adapter III]]. Alternatively, unofficial full-height ultrabay HDD adapters can be found from from third-party vendors.

Sebi: /* Ultrabay Slim Batteries in Ultrabay Serial Slim don't seem to work */

== UltraBay Slim in T410 ==
somewhere should be mentioned, that the T410 does NOT support a ultra bay battery. i think i wouldn't had bought it, with this information. --[[User:Ribx|Ribx]] 08:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

== 9.5mm Optical drive standard and UltraBay Slim ==
The article mentions standard 12.7mm optical drive interchangeability / compatibility with the Apple iBook slot-loading drive and the UltraBay 2000. This seems somewhat obvious. However, has anyone uncovered whether the connector on the 9.5mm optical drives used in the MacBook and 15" MacBook Pro is the same (i.e. interchangeable / compatible) with the 9.5mm UltraBay Slim? [[User:Zuzu|Zuzu]] 02:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

----

I am reasonably sure a Floppy drive does not exist for the UltraBay Slim.
People are told to use a USB FDD instead.

Also the UltraBay 2000 battery is not supported in UltraBay Plus.
UltraBay Plus has its own battery that should be used

----

Anyone know if it's possible to bodge together a 770X Ultrabay II CD-RW from a Ultrabay II DVD and, say, a 600E UltraSlimBay CD-RW? Just something I've been wondering for a while.

== UltraBay II? ==

Does it seem odd that the UltraBay II was the ''first'' bay? Was there no UltraBay, or some other type of bay? -- [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 00:51, 16 Apr 2005 (CEST)

----
True. ;-) It seems, that actually the drive bay in the 380 models was called UltraBay, but i don't know for sure. So i didn't add it.

[[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 00:36, 17 Apr 2005 (CEST)
----

== Not just IDE ==

Obviously UltraBay is not just an IDE interface.

Most also have a floppy interface (apart from the latest 'slim' and 'enhanced' versions), and can take a battery.

If I remember correctly you could get the floppy drive activated by hibernating the thinkpad and installing the floppy drive, so that on power up the BIOS would enable the floppy disk drive and it would work. This was in the old APM days, so it might work differently with ACPI.

----
You're right. I remember reading some IBM text about the UltraBay yesterday, which said that the controller is capable of dynamically changing the pin layout to support the different kind of devices (initiated by the BIOS). I'll try finding it again and correcting the information on the page.

[[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 23:16, 17 Apr 2005 (CEST)
----

On my 770x under ACPI, if you force the floppy driver to use 2 3.5" drives (in modprobe.conf options floppy floppy=1,4,cmos), then you get to use either external floppy / ultrabay floppy / both if you plug them in after boot time. Otherwise the autodetect only finds one. I still haven't got hotplug fully working (mostly as it depends on Linux being able to hotplug IDE devices, not just IDE controllers).

[[User:lentinj|lentinj]]

I added a page for the drive ([[UltraBay II Floppy Drive]]) containing your info. [[User:Wyrfel|Wyrfel]] 21:24, 9 Aug 2005 (CEST)

== First UltraBay ==
The oldest references I can find to the name 'UltraBay' are the ThinkPad 755 series (755CSE, 755CE, etc).

But the older 750 models already had the hot-swappable drive bay, and support some of the same options, so it looks like the 'UltraBay' started with the 750 series.

But then again, later models support CD-ROM drives (755CD, 760CD, etc), which certainly are not supported in these older models, but they are all called 'UltraBay'.

== Optical drive adapters ==
I canÂ´t include this information easily in ThinkWiki. Please, help me!

I think adapters P/N (or FRU P/N) should also be mentioned: above webpages can disappear in a future, and the P/N is an unequivocal reference!. Adapters may work only in selected models!!

'''Ultrabay Enhanced optical drive Adapter''' (P/N 73P3268 Â¿or 73P3269?): it allows to use an Ultrabay Enhanced optical-drive inside of an Ultrabay 2000/Ultrabay Plus bay. Only supported in a limited list of models?.

--[[User:SystemParadox|SystemParadox]] 22:16, 20 February 2006 (CET)

Anyone know how to identify the type of device in the bay (e.g. battery, floppy, hdd, cd, etc) in Linux?

The ibm_acpi readme says that the eject lever being released or inserted should generate an ACPI event. On my T23 it doesn't. It's really annoying. Ideas anyone?

== UltraBay Slim: SATA vs. PATA ==

The text and table should differentiate between the PATA version of the UltraBay Slim (e.g., T4x) and the SATA version (e.g., T6x). AFAIK they are completely incompatibe for storage devices.

--[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 21:14, 8 October 2006 (CEST)

To my (limited) understanding, the SATA devices will not work in the 'older' TPs like the T4x, but the PATA devices WILL work in the latest systems, as the have both SATA and PATA support.

--[[User:Tonko|Tonko]] 20:50, 9 October 2006 (CEST)

That's nice. We should find out and document this, maybe distinguishing "UltraBay Slim (PATA)" from "UltraBay Slim (SATA+PATA)" whenever relevant.

--[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 01:05, 10 October 2006 (CEST)

== [[UltraBay]] and G series ==

In my G41 (2881-D2U) there is an Ultrabay Enhanced optical drive with a "bracket" attached (this bracket is then screwed to the G41). The drive can be [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52755 removed] but not hot-swapped; requires keyboard to be removed first. Do all Gs have Ultrabay Enhanced drives? Will a standard Ultrabay Enhanced drive work in G series?

--[[User:Mik|Mik]] 10:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Ultrabay Slim Batteries in Ultrabay Serial Slim don't seem to work ==

I tested a used 40Y6790 on my W500 today, but the battery didn't slid in completely. When I compare the battery with the DVD-drive, the DVD-drive has a small pin at the back and a shorter slide, so the battery cannot fit in mechanically. Photo follows.

=== IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay ===
Ultrabay is IBM's, now Lenovo's, name for the swappable drive slot. With IBM's words: <blockquote>"The ThinkPad UltraBay,{{footnote|1}} also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of standard and optional features in what would normally be just the FDD bay."</blockquote> Introduced back in the times of the 750 ThinkPads, this technology has gone through redesigns with almost every new generation of ThinkPad models, possibly leading to some confusion that is hopefully cleared up here. The following table gives an overview of the different Ultrabay types, in which models they occurred and what drives are available for them.
Note that the optical drive bay in G series ThinkPads is not an Ultrabay in that the drives are fixed and not removable.

On the media side different Ultrabays relate to the form factor of the drives they accept, e.g early A, T and X series models can accept Ultrabay devices up to 12.5mm in thickness, whereas current T and X series machines are limited to devices no more than 9.5mm thick.

===Characteristics===
*UltraBay: no hot swapping
*UltraBay Thick: thicker version of UltraBay to support CD-ROM drive
*UltraBay II: supports hot swapping, blending has cut out edge on the right
*UltraBay FX: the combined [[floppy]] drive and CD-ROM, DVD or CDRW mechanism found in the {{390}}/{{390E}}/{{390X}}
*UltraslimBay: supports hot swapping; frame, rectangle like blending
*Ultrabay 2000: supports hot swapping; frame, blending has cut-out edge on the right
*Ultrabay Plus: same as Ultrabay 2000, but can take the [[Ultrabay Plus Device Carrier]] which in turn can hold the [[Ultrabay Plus Cradle for the WorkPad C500]] or the [[Ultrabay Plus Numeric Keypad]]
*Ultrabay Slim: supports hot swapping; thinner (9.5 mm) than the Ultrabay 2000; cut-out right edge in blending
*Ultrabay Enhanced: supports hot swapping; thicker (12.7 mm) than Ultrabay Slim, but accepts Ultrabay Slim devices
*Serial Ultrabay Slim: supports hot swapping; same dimensions as the Ultrabay Slim; curved panel; supports Ultrabay Slim battery in select models (not in the ones supporting slice battery attached to the bottom of the laptop, like {{T410}}/{{T510}}) (even then there seems to be some mechanical differences; see discussion)
*Serial Ultrabay Enhanced: supports hot swapping; same dimensions as the Ultrabay Enhanced; see the Serial Ultrabay Slim notes about battery

==Linux support==
The pinout switching is done by the BIOS and hardware, so that it is completely transparent to the operating system.
*Floppy drives are supported by the standard floppy driver.
*ZIP drive support is possible through the <tt>ide-disk</tt> driver.
*IDE hard disks and optical drives are supported by the <tt>ata_piix</tt> or older <tt>ide-disk</tt> driver in the linux kernel.
*Batteries are automatically handled by the hardware, but can be controlled further by using [[tp_smapi]].
*UltraBay Plus devices should be handled by the USB subsystem, but if the actual devices are is not known.

===Unofficially compatible===
A CDRW/DVD-ROM Superdrive (scavenged from a Mac iBook) will fit in an Ultrabay 2000. The original face won't fit in the bay, leaving a bare metal front. When the drive spins up, it blows a lot of air out. Maybe that's an anti-dust measure?

In general, Ultrabay 2000 CD drives have a standard connector, and can therefore be replaced by most other 12.7 mm drives. You might have to do some cutting of the plastic face plate.

The Ultrabay Slim CD drives however, have a proprietary connector. You can not replace them with any 9.5 mm CD drive.

===Hotswapping===

Unlike other manufactures (Dell, Toshiba etc.) Lenovo does not release the firmware update utility public, so the only way to get a newer version F3507g is by replacing the existing one.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
Here are some basics about Ericsson F3507g MiniPCIe WWAN/GPS card (USB ID <tt>0bdb:1900</tt> and <tt>0bdb:1902</tt>):

* the card will not work without an inserted SIM, even the GPS function. If you want to use just GPS, any SIM would work, even if it is not attached to any active account with any GSM provider.
* the card provides three CDC ACM interfaces (<tt>CONFIG_USB_ACM=m</tt>), two CDC WDM interfaces (<tt>CONFIG_USB_WDM=m</tt>) and one CDC Ethernet interface (<tt>CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=m</tt>), and identifies them as
for n in `ls /sys/class/*/*{ACM,wdm,usb0}*/device/interface`;do echo $(echo $n|awk -F '/' '{print $5}') : $(cat $n);done

usb0 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard Network Adapter
ttyACM0 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard Modem
ttyACM1 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard Data Modem
ttyACM2 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard GPS Port
cdc-wdm0 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard Device Management
cdc-wdm1 : Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard PC SC Port
'''Note''':
*apparently, for a while <tt>option</tt> USB-serial driver had claimed USB ID <tt>0bdb:1900</tt>, but this was wrong, and as of kernel 2.6.28.9 that commit was reversed. If instead of <tt>/dev/ttyACM*</tt> you see <tt>/dev/ttyUSB*</tt>, it means that <tt>option</tt> module is loaded. You may need to blacklist it to make sure it doesn't happen.
*Support for the CDC Ethernet interface appears only in kernel 2.6.28.8. But if your kernel is older, you can still connect to the net using one of the "Modem" interfaces. As of kernel 2.6.33 it is named <tt>wwan0</tt> rather than <tt>usb0</tt>.

As Ericsson's naming scheme suggests, idealy we would use <tt>/dev/cdc-wdm0</tt> for controlling the card, <tt>usb0</tt> (or <tt>wwan0</tt>) as a network device, <tt>/dev/ttyACM0</tt> or <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt> as a modem, and <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt> for GPS. This works for manual testing, but unfortunately, due to [http://markmail.org/message/2sd7culbgekugow2 limitations] of <tt>chat</tt>, does not play very well in scripts. So, instead of <tt>/dev/cdc-wdm0</tt>, for controlling the card we will use <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>.

==Turning the card on==
First, check whenever the SIM is protected by PIN by sending

AT+CPIN?

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. You can do it with any terminal terminal program like <tt>cu</tt> or <tt>minicom</tt>. If the answer is

+CPIN: READY

then the SIM is unlocked. If the answer is

+CPIN: SIM PIN

you need first to unlock it by sending

AT+CPIN="YOUR-PIN"

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Now the card can be turned on by sending

AT+CFUN=1

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. The answer should be

+PACSP0

Don't try to do anything until you see it. To force GSM-only connection, send

AT+CFUN=5

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. To force WCDMA-only connection, send

AT+CFUN=6

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>.

==Turning the card off==
To put the card into energy-saving mode (this is the default), you can send

AT+CFUN=4

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. To remove all power from the card, send

AT+CFUN=0

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Be carefull with the last command. It turns the card completely off, and it will no longer accept any AT-commands before the hard reset. To physically reset the card flip the wireless switch off, and then on. You can do the same by sending <tt>echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0/state</tt> (to turn off) and then <tt>echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0/state</tt> (to turn on).

==Using the card as a wireless modem==
Once the card is turned on, there are two ways to connect to the net. The first one is just to use the card as any "normal" GPRS modem and start <tt>pppd</tt> daemon on one of <tt>/dev/ttyACM*</tt>. The other way is to use CDC Ethernet interface. It is supposed to be more efficient, but it requires a pretty recent (>=2.6.28.8) kernel.

====Connecting to the net via pppd====
For the first approach, the easiest way to do it is to use <tt>wvdial</tt>. For example, to connect to AT&T Wireless network, your <tt>/etc/wvdial.conf</tt> would have to be something like this
[Dialer 3G]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","'''proxy'''"
Stupid mode = 1
phone= *99#
Username = *
Password = *
'''Note''': if you are using a SIM from a different mobile provider, you may need to change the access point name (APN) "'''proxy'''" in <tt>Init1</tt> string and Username/Password to something else. You can find the appropriate APN [http://www.pinstack.com/carrier_settings_apn_gateway.html here].

====Connecting to the net via CDC Ethernet interface====
The [http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=123334979706403&w=2 second approach] works for kernels >=2.6.28.8. Configure the APN by sending

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","'''proxy'''"

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Instead of "'''proxy'''" you may need to use to something else. Find the appropriate APN [http://www.pinstack.com/carrier_settings_apn_gateway.html here]. To initiate the connection, send

AT*ENAP=1,1

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Now, if your wireless provider lets you in, you are connected. Launch <tt>dhclient</tt>

dhclient usb0

and start surfing the net (or use <tt>wwan0</tt> for kernels >= 2.6.33). To disconnect, send

AT*ENAP=0

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>.

==Using the card as a GPS receiver==
Once the card is turned on, we can use it to get GPS info via NMEA protocol. First, you have to configure the a few NMEA options. It is done by sending

AT*E2GPSCTL=X,Y,Z

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Here

*X can be 0 (NMEA stream turned off) or 1 (NMEA stream turned on)
*Y can be an integer form 1 to 60, and sets the frequency of how often the card emits the NMEA sentences
*Z can be 0 (DGPS is turned off) or 1 (DGPS is turned on)

so, to configure the GPSr to update every 5 seconds, and turn DGPS on, you would send

AT*E2GPSCTL=1,5,1

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Once the GPSr is configured, we can get the NMEA stream on /dev/ttyACM2 by sending

AT*E2GPSNPD

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt>. Once you do that, <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt> will no longer accept any new AT-commands. But you still can change the the behavior of the NMEA stream by sending the appropriate

AT*E2GPSCTL=X,Y,Z

to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt>. Now you can read the NMEA stream by saying

cat /dev/ttyACM2

or better yet, start <tt>gpsd</tt> interface on <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt>.

Note: There is a now a sourceforge project dedicated to the Ericsson Mobile Broadband modules. Gps control sw that does the above automatically is available and also a graphical user interface. Details are available on the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mbm/index.php?title=Main_Page#GPS_Control_.28mbm-gpsd.29 MBM Wiki].

==Scripting everything==
Install the packages

apt-get install sysfsutils gpsd wvdial

In order to save the power, let us use '''sysfsutils''' to completely power off the WWAN card on boot. Append the following line to <tt>/etc/sysfs.conf</tt>

devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/rfkill/rfkill0/state = 0

It will power down the card on boot, but when the laptop wakes from sleep, in some cases the card is powered up again. To re-apply these settings on wake-up, create a script named <tt>/etc/pm/sleep.d/10sysfsutils</tt>:

#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
(hibernate|suspend)
;;
(thaw|resume)
/etc/init.d/sysfsutils start
;;
*) echo "somebody is calling me totally wrong."
;;
esac

Don't forget to <tt>chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/10sysfsutils</tt>. Create a file called <tt>/usr/local/etc/F3507g</tt> containing the following:

'''USB_ID="0bdb:1900"'''
'''PIN=""'''
'''APN="proxy"'''

GPSDPID="/var/run/gpsd.pid"

}

}

turnon_WWAN () {

}

turnoff_F3507g () {
[ -z $(grep gps /etc/network/run/ifstate) ] && \
[ -z $(grep usb0 /etc/network/run/ifstate) ] && \
[ -z $(grep 3G /etc/network/run/ifstate) ] && \
ifdown F3507g
}

Give the correct '''USB_ID''' and '''PIN''', and find the '''APN''' for your wireless provider [http://www.pinstack.com/carrier_settings_apn_gateway.html here]. Append the following lines to your <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt> file

iface F3507g inet manual
up . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; powerup_F3507g
down . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; powerdown_F3507g

iface 3G inet wvdial
pre-up ifup F3507g
post-down . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; turnoff_F3507g
provider 3G

iface gps inet manual
up . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; ifup F3507g; turnon_GPS
down . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; turnoff_GPS

iface usb0 inet dhcp
pre-up . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; ifup F3507g; turnon_WWAN
post-down . /usr/local/etc/F3507g; turnoff_WWAN

Configure <tt>/etc/wvdial.conf</tt> to look like this:

[Dialer 3G]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","'''proxy'''"
Stupid mode = 1
phone= *99#
Username = *
Password = *

'''Note''': you may need to change the access point name (APN) "'''proxy'''" in <tt>Init1</tt> string and Username/Password to something else. Find the appropriate APN [http://www.pinstack.com/carrier_settings_apn_gateway.html here].

Now broadband connection could be started in the same way as you start any other network interface, just by saying <tt>ifup usb0</tt> (or <tt>ifup 3G</tt>, if connecting via <tt>pppd</tt>). To shut it down, say <tt>ifdown usb0</tt> (or <tt>ifdown 3G</tt>). Similarly, GPS interface is started by <tt>ifup gps</tt> and turned off by <tt>ifdown gps</tt>. Once you get a fix, you can use your favourite GPS mapping application like [http://www.tangogps.org tangogps]. The "cold start" seems to take quite a bit however, and sometimes it cannot get a fix if indoors.

==Using F3507g with NetworkManager==
Work is ongoing to add support for Ericsson Mobile Broadband Modules to GNOME NetworkManager / modem-manager. More information is available on the [http://mbm.sourceforge.net/ MBM project website] and the [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mbm/index.php?title=MBM MBM wiki].

The F3507g card (in a ThinkPad {{T400s}}) works out of the box on Fedora 11. No configuration is needed beyond setting the data plan provider in the nm-applet GUI.

Using mbm-gpsd gps works flawlessly with the F3507g on Karmic Koala with modemmanager packages from [https://launchpad.net/~modemmanager/+archive/ppa Ubuntu PPA], the mbm-gpsd installed by source using the description from [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mbm/index.php?title=MBM#GPS_Control_.28mbm-gpsd.29 here] and knowing the PIN of your SIM card.

== SMS with wammu/gammu ==
You can use [http://wammu.eu/ Wammu] to receive and send SMS.

After installing wammu (with the usual <tt>apt-get install wammu</tt> or whatever), choose to configure it "Manually":
port=/dev/ttyACM0
connection=at

==Other thoughts==
While <tt>AT+CFUN=*</tt> and <tt>AT+CPIN=*</tt> are pretty standard commands for wireless modems and are well-documented, it appears that the commands <tt>AT*E2GPSCTL</tt> and <tt>AT*E2GPSNPD</tt> are unique to the Ericsson F3507g card. All credit for discovering them goes to "Nickolai Zeldovich" who left a comment in this [http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/09/24/apone/ thread]. I imagine one could find them via a USB sniffer on a working Windows machine (or a Linux machine with Windows running in a virtual machine). Another way to get them is to try to look for "gps" string in Windows drivers. What is interesting, F3507g supports a few other AT-commands with "GPS" substring (you can get all supported AT-commands by sending <tt>AT*</tt> to <tt>/dev/ttyACM1</tt> after activating it with <tt>AT+CFUN=1</tt>). Anyway, there is a [http://www.natisbad.org/E4300/Dell_Wireless_5530_AT_cmd_ref.html project] aiming to document all AT-commands for the Ericsson F3507g card.

I am experimenting on an alternative way, described on the discussion page. [[User:Sebi|Sebi]] 15:08, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

== Firmware loader ==
The firmware for this device must be loaded prior to using the device. The firmware loading interface is exposed over USB as id 05c6:9204 which can be accessed as a character (TTYUSB) device under Linux using the qcserial driver (modified to include correct USB IDs). The firmware can be loaded using the gobi_loader application.

== Modem ==
After firmware is loaded, the modem is exposed over USB as id 05c6:9205 which can be accessed as a character (TTYUSB) device under Linux using the qcserial (modified to include correct USB IDs). Normal dial-up software can be used to create a 3G connection.

== Carrier specific configurations ==
Each device is intended to be used with a specific carrier, and is shipped with firmware to support that carrier. Notebooks are often also shipped with a pre-installed SIM. Other carriers may work by loading a different firmware version. The 'generic UMTS' stage 3 firmware is known to with with O2, an unsupported UK carrier. See above for a list of known firmware files.

Sebi: Linux firmware extraction

== Firmware ==

I found out a way to get the firmware on a linux-only system. Mine is a debian squeeze, but it should apply to any system.

First, I entered my model number on the [http://www.lenovo.com/support/ Lenovo support page] in the right siderow (Select you system / Quick Path) to get to my drivers page. There I clicked to download drivers and on the UMTS drivers. Afterwards I downloaded the "<code>7xwc42ww.exe</code>" driver package.

With wine I was able to install the driver package, but all it does, was unpacking the GOBI driver setup. This one comes packaged as a <code>.msi</code> file, so we have to [http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/howto-extract-all-files-from-microsoft-installer-files-msi-rather-than-to-install-the-package/ unpack] it:

user@machine:~$ wine msiexec /a ~/.wine/drive_c/DRIVERS/WWANQL/Driver/GobiInstaller.msi TARGETDIR=C:\\DRIVERS\\GOBI

The installer quits with errors, but leaves the files on the disk, success. But now there are several subdirectories, in which the files for the specific network operators reside:

{| {{prettytable}}
! Dir !! Image !! Remarks
|-
| 0 || Vodafone Image ||
|-
| 1 || Verizon Image ||
|-
| 2 || ATT Image ||
|-
| 3 || Sprint Image || includes special Firmware
|-
| 4 || T-Mobile Image ||
|-
| 6 || Generic UMTS Image ||
|-
| 7 || Telefonica Image ||
|-
| 8 || Telecom Italia Image ||
|-
| 9 || Orange Image ||
|-
| 12 || DoCoMo Image || includes special Firmware
|-
| UMTS || Default Firmware || the MD5-sum on the page matches these
|}

I found this out by reading the <code>ReadMe.rtf</code>, looking into the <code>UQCN.mbn</code>-Files and apply a little bit of thinking.

Now I'll move the files over and try them out.
