Novatel Merlin v620 CDMA PCMCIA card not operational after 30 seconds. The card drops traffic and ultimately disconnects.

Bug Description

I am running Edgy and love it.

I need to be able to support my Verizon cell card. I have it running, but after 10-20 seconds, it crawls to a stop and disconnects.

Apparently there is an 'airtime' fix for this but requires a kernel rebuild.

I would request that this module get fixed/distributed in Edgy and upcoming Ubuntu distributions.

Thank you for listening.

Also, I think there is a module (airprime.c) that was written to address
this. I found the article at
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78684&page=2
It looks like it fixes the issue, but I don't want to recompile my kernel.
Can we get an update for Edgy to solve this?

Thanks.

Hi Brian Murray,

I did deploy 150 Laptops with Kubuntu, and 40 of this uses the same PCMCIA Card v620, and have the same problem, may you help us to fix it.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
