All of the following USB modems work very nicely in 11.3: Sierra Wireless 881 Novatel MC950D Huawei E160 using an unlocked SIM. Only thing I've found is that it seems to be best to install the modem after boot, turn off wireless, enable broadband, configure them on the Gnome side first, then g

Prefix to OFW's chosen/bootpath

Hi Mitch, On 1.75, looking at chosen/bootpath, as exposed by device-tree, shows the path prefixed with /sd@d428/ . Is that prefix stable? Does it refer to something (memory location) that might change? We parse this value in the init scripts that mount the boot partition, and in the initramf

Hi Paul, I reworked your olpc-hwinfo slightly, refactored all the utilities reading /ofw . See http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-utils/commit/ My only concern is that it can't tell you whether ak/wp/ww tags _exist_. It can read values, but empty tags return the same as a missing tag. You ma
