DW5560 WWAN: supported under Mavericks?

[ClassicRed]

Hello

I am trying to run my WWAN card on Mavericks 10.9.0 / 10.9.1

This is a Sony Ericsson DW5560

Mavericks gives me the following information:

DW5560:

   Product id: 0x818e
   Provider ID: 0x413c (Dell Inc.)
   Version 0.00
   Serial number: 1AB4C4F44BAAD4M0
   Speed: Up to 480 Mb / s
   Manufacturer: Dell
   Identifying location: 0x1a160000 / 4
   Available current (mA): 500
   Current Required (mA): 0

I followed this method but it does not work:

- https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2385-wwan-using-dw5520-on-osx/

I tried to change the following kexts:
CellPhonehelper.kext
IOSerialFamilly.kext

But without success

Thank you for your help.

Do you see the card in System Report at all? Under USB section?

Hello

 

[Hervé]

The DW5560 appears to be based on Ericsson F5321 chip; as such, you should try to base your CellPhoneHelper kext patch on an Ericsson profile, not a Novatel one.

Happy New Year to all

I would just add a new entry as opposed to change an existing one.

 

Then set your new vendor id to 16700 (= 0x413c) otherwise you'll never match your actual hardware. No guarantee that this will work though... Only if that W350 model uses compatible firmware as F5321 (i.e. uses the same commands). Your DeviceVendor info should be set to "Sony Ericsson" or "Generic", not "Ercisson" (or "Ericsson"). Basically, this info should match one of the entries in the list of Vendors available in the "Advanced" tab when you configure a WWAN module in the Network Preferences panel.

 

Remember to place your modified CellPhoneHelper kext to /E/E and run myFix (quick) to make it supersede the vanilla kext in /S/L/E.
