Diabetic trying to use Ubuntu with Medtronic Carelink insulin pump support USB device
- by Gary C.
I am taking a wild shot here: I am a type 1 diabetic who is going on the Insulin pump. Unfortunately, the Medtronic Carelink USB device that uploads data from the pump online only has windows drivers. Has anybody managed to get this working under Ubuntu using Wine or by any other method:

Bus 001 Device 014: ID 0a21:8001 Medtronic Physio Control Corp. MMT-7305WW [Medtronic Minimed CareLink]
I really don't want to buy a windows machine just for this, but it's probably one in a million that somebody else has managed to make this work under Linux.
