CR-48 3G working with custom bios install Ubuntu

All credit for this info goes to other sources, as normal. Posting here in order to spare my bookmark clutter, ie, personal use.

1. Grab the files here: QC Serial USB Drivers (cros – source) and here: qc.tar.gz – Linux (x86) binaries
2. Extract the first – qcserialusb.tar.gz (wherever) and get to a bash terminal in that location.
3. Run ./installthreeg.sh
4. Run (as root) modprobe QCSerial2k and then modprobe QCUSBNet2k and ensure no errors appear.
5. Extract the second, qc.tar.gz to /opt.
6. Run ./startthreeg.sh (from a bash terminal or by double clicking it).
7. Create a new connection using the network manager panel app, of the mobile broadband flavor. Enter #777 for the number.
8. Connect, browse, etc.

Updated mplayer install on CrOS

sudo mkdir /mnt/stateful_partition/dev_image
sudo mount -n --bind /mnt/stateful_partition/dev_image /usr/local
sudo mount -n -o remount,exec,suid /usr/local
mount | grep local (make sure no noexec or nosuid.)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

(qemacs-edit .bashrc with below)
if ! grep -q /usr/local /etc/mtab; then
sudo mount -n --bind /mnt/stateful_partition/dev_image /usr/local
sudo mount -n -o remount,exec,suid /usr/local
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
fi

(set alias for easy play logged in as chronos)
alias play='/usr/local/bin/mplayer'
save and exit qemacs(save ctrlx+ctrls/close ctrlx+ctrlc)

make sure /bin/ is there, if not,
sudo su -
mkdir /usr/local/bin/
check for mplayer2 location, move to /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x mplayer

Now while logged in as chronos (default, not root) all you need to do is type "play /*location of files*/" without quotes to play. You can add a * at the end to play all in the selected folder.

So I got bored and made a CR-48 Chrome extension

Many useful links for use on ChromeOS/CR-48.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
