I think it would be better if we called this thread " More Toughbook Linux " instead of "More toughlinux" only because when I did a NBR search for your thread using "Linux" as a search it never came up . My guess it's because of the spelling. I will change it and see what happens.

 

Good call . I just wanted to get it out there . I got it to work on a HP Mini 1035R but haven't had the chance to bust into a sierra or such yet . The major reason being not having to go through actually installing M$ to get a card initialized

Gobi2000 is initialized like this from Linux:

sudo echo "\$GPS_START" > /dev/ttyUSB1

So this re-directs (>) the start command to the port where Gobi lives.

Could there be a command to fire off the card that you are using?

Note: my card lives on ttyUSB1.

As I understand it Linux watches the ports................... when a GPS shows up it uses /udev and assigns it, but not for Gobi. Not sure what Linux does with WWAN.
dmesg | tail #might show results if you start wwan after os is loaded. (Cycle the wireless switch)
Random gatherings above. Good luck.

J'd....no understanding of topic...just yapping...
