Hello, I bought a USB stick K4505 and I can not install for Linux Centos 5. I installed the package usb_modeswitch-0.9.7-1.fc10 and vodafone-mobile-connect-2.10.01-521 but when I run the vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux I get the following error:

pcpor3> vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux Traceback (most recent call last): File "/ usr / bin / upgrade-vmc-plugins", line 27, in? import from vmc.utils.utilities getfiledata, save_file File "/ usr / share / vodafone-mobile-connect / vmc / utils / utilities.py", line 33 convert = lambda text: int (text) if text.isdigit () else text ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is the installed packages are good? Where can I find the right drivers?

Can you help me? Thank you in advance

Hi Thierry, Well RHEL/Centos 5 only has python 2.4, but we require 2.5+. You will probably have to use wvdial directly to connect on this old distro, or backport VMC to python 2.4, plus grab some portions of BCM/Wader as all new devices are added to that only. Installing BCM/Wader is not really an option for you as many of the things we depend upon are not available on RHEL/Centos 5.

Here's the link to the BCM project over at the forge site, where you can browse for the changes made to support K4505. Backporting the K4505 changes to suit VMC 2.x is non-trivial.

Whichever choice you make, you'll need to get the modem switching info from later USB modeswitch and patch the version you have installed, so that the device switches from CD storage mode to modem mode.

Hope it helps,

Andrew
