hI,
just got evdo yesterday.
For Mac OSX Leopard, how to know the hardware id of the evdo ( AC8700 )
Detected in System Profiler as ZTE CDMA Tech ( under USB )
MY pID SAYS 0x3197
MY vID SAYS 0x05c6

Do I still use the script you mentioned or do I change it?

Thanx in advance,

Sundance

This method is dead easy compared to the previous one. All you need to do is run a shell script. If you have installed the pl2303 drivers, then remove them before you proceed.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /Library/Receipts/osx-pl2303.pkg/

Reboot

1. Download this file from mediafire.

2. Extract to your root partition, which is usually Mac HD. Execute these command in the terminal.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# cd /
bash-3.2# ls

You should see the Install folder here.

Code:

bash-3.2# cd Install
bash-3.2# sh Install.sh

Reboot

Open Network preferences, you should be able to see ZTE CDMA Tech as one the connections. Enter your bsnl number and select Vendor as Novatel and Model as cdma from advanced tab.

The script is for ZTE AC8700 modems with hardware id 0c56:6000. The numbers 24576 and 1478 in the script correspond to the above id. You would have to change it if you have a different hardware id.

Leave a reply if it works for you.

Hello,

I installed using the Install.sh script.

The device shows up in System Profiler as ZTE cdma under USB.

However when I open Network Preferences and try adding the device, it does not show up in the list of connections.

My Product ID - 0x3197
My Vendor id - 0x05c6

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks

Sundance.

You need to change the hardware id in the script.

Hi veagles,

I cannot see the pictures you post.
Can you post those pictures again?

Please register in our forum for free by clicking here to see links.The list which you have shown is a list of modem scripts that are present in your mac. A modem script is used to dial a modem. It is NOT a list of installed modem drivers. You are not supposed to look here.
ZTE CDMA Tech must appear in Internet connect in the top bar where you have bluetooth, 802.11 etc.

Check the speeds in windows. Everyone is experiencing slow speeds these days.
