I am trying to get MBPL drivers working on my EM7455 on Debian. I did the “make clean, make and make install” on my Ubuntu and carried over usb_wwan.ko, qmi_wwan.ko and qcserial.ko using my thumb drive to my Debian host. I did not see the usbserial.ko file after making on my Ubuntu. The error indicates that I need usbserial.ko but I cannot find it.

I have the following error after typing “modprobe qcserial”

root@CMM2-UUT:/home/user/Sierra/MBPL/Ubuntu# modprobe qcserial
modprobe: ERROR: …/libkmod/libkmod-module.c:192 kmod_module_parse_depline() ctx=0x552cc008 path=/lib/modules/4.9.11-02316-g91a2d54-dirty/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko error=No such file or directory

/lib/modules/4.9.11-02316-g91a2d54-dirty/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/qcserial.ko

What am I missing?

I copied usbserial.ko from the Ubuntu to my Debian host. Now I just get:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘qcserial’: Exec format error

It appears that either:

  1. my ftp byte swapped
  2. I cannot use my Ubuntu.

my Debian is 4.9.11
and my Ubuntu is 4.15.0
after typing uame -a

23

is it working in Ubuntu?

24

yes, I typed

sudo modprobe usbserial
and
sudo modprobe qcserial

I used binary transfer with ftp. Could it be the different versions?
my Debian is 4.9.11
and my Ubuntu is 4.15.0

you cannot use the binary from Ubuntu as they are having different kernel version.
you need to compile the driver in Debian
