v620 work with a Mac?

Maybe the problem, is that on Windows it lists it in hex format and in the xml on the mac file, it needs to be in decimal.

OK, so try this (and lets keep our fingers crossed):

<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>4368</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>5136</integer>

No go.

I changed the values in both AppleVerizonSupport.kext and AppleVerizonSupportKicker.kext, and got the same results as before.

Is there anything else I can try running on my system? I currently have a 5220 selection in my modem pulldown, but that's the only real card reference.

Andy, have you tried it with the "5220" modem selection? Maybe that will work...

I have 5220 right now.

What are the parameters to be entered there? my menu bar icon still comes up with "unknown vendor".

I had my brother activate the card on his PC, so I know it works (he got 1mb+ download speed).

I looked on www.novatelwireless.com.

They have a quad-band u630 card that supports OS-X. I wonder in those drivers would power the v620?

Problem is, I can't seem to find the drivers anywhere....

It would also be helpful to know what the System Profiler shows for a pc5220.

Here is what System Profiler reports on the PC 5220 on my PowerBook:

Vendor ID: 0x104c
Device ID: 0xac56

I got it to recognize the v620 on my Powerbook. Use this:

<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>4368</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>5136</integer>

Recognized is good!

Is it also WORKING?

What do you mean by recognized?

In the system profiler, or in your menu bar?

djpubba · EVDO Fledgling Joined: 30 Mar 2005 Posts: 13

In the menu bar.

Still fiddling. It lets me configure it. It attempts to dial but gets a modem error. I suspect this is because there is no modem script for it. Where can I find a modem script for the 5220 and where do I put it?

Michael · Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:51 pm Post subject:

The modem script is here:

/Library/Modem Scripts/Verizon Support (PC 5220)

Oh yeah, there it is.

Working great now.

OK, LETS TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Are you now connected with a Novatel V620 on your PowerBook?

I understand what needs to change in the XML file(s), did you change anything in the modem script?

For those that are not too technical, I can build an installer application that changes the necessary files and makes it simple.

I just want to confirm if you changed the modem script and confirm if you are connected.

There has been 2700 views to this thread, so there are a lot of people waiting on this one Smile
