Does anyone know what chipset is used in the Dell 5808E Gobi?
Dell cant answer me, and we cant open the rugged laptops as they may void warranty.
Firmware update fails so need to try manual firmware.
I don’t know anything about these, but the quote I put into the qmi_wwan driver commit log comes from this mail: spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg105131.html
So, according to Dan, the 5808E is likely a dell branded MC7750. Which would make the chipset MDM9600 I believe.
But you’d better double check this. The boot loader and firmware versions should provide some hints.
And I wouldn’t try to force a firmware update anyway. If it fails, then there is most likely a reason for that. You should contact Dell support.
