If you think that the reason you're not getting an answer is because the other list members think it's beneath them to answer your question, you are being a very big fool.

This is something that hardly anyone has used here. I've worked on these silly things myself and it's hit/miss whether they work or not. They barely work in Linux in most cases, and where they do work, openSUSE support is very limited if it's there at all.

Even though I've spent days/weeks working on getting a 3G mobile network dongle working in openSUSE, I don't have any answer or suggestion for you because I simply don't know, and it's highly likely that no one else who read your email does either.

 Did you get it working? If so, what steps did you do? If not, why even mention it?

If i may, use the mobile broadband settings in Knetworkmanager. You will need to enter number username password apn save your settings you should be connected now but you may not be able to browse cos it has not picked up the DNS settings yet. To get dns settings at this time time netconfig update -f this should automatically get the dns of your mobile broadband service and you should be ok Jide -- Jide Ogunmekan Executive Director General Data Engineering Services PLC 16, Oshin Street, Kongi Bodija, Ibadan Oyo State Tel: 0700-SKANNET Mobile: 08023130954, 08086132375 Contact Me Chat omeks Signature powered by WiseStamp Jide Ogunmekan 16, Oshin Street Kongi, Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo State jide.ogunmekan@gmail.com ☎: 08086132375 - 08023130954 My profiles: Contact me: omeks jide.ogunmekan Signature powered by WiseStamp Jide Ogunmekan 16, Oshin Street Kongi, Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo State jide.ogunmekan@gmail.com ☎: 08086132375 - 08023130954 My profiles: Contact me: omeks jide.ogunmekan Signature powered by WiseStamp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Machine involed is an eMachines eM250 KAV60 with broadcom wirless working fine ethernet port working fine  but where this machine lives the only way to get  a broadband connection is via a mobile broadband dongal  which i have got loading and connecting , This is where the fun begins i can not get a route out onto the internet route  returns Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface 10.64.64.64     0.0.0.0           255.255.255.0    U     0      0    0     ppp0 127.0.0.1         0.0.0.0           255.0.0.0            U     0      0    0  lo 0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         UG  0    0     0  ppp0

ifconfig returns  a PtoP address of 10.64.64.64

I have tried to get a connection using NetworkManagement ( the plasmoid version ) the machine is running OS11.4 i586 with KDE4.6.0 and the stock off the disc kernel

plasmoid networkmangment crashes out as soon i i try to configure the mobile connection and is hit an miss with the wifi and hardwired connections  once again this is using the Plasmoid version .

Try with gnome nm-applet is the only suggestion I can come up with.

...

I have similar problems on my own laptop which is a 64 bit Compaq machine  but with similar hardware otherwise but i can get that to connect if i wait long enough after pluging in the dongal about 10 mins and it will normally connect but not on the emachines  netbook cant get a route out no matter what i do

so i guess there are people out there that know the secret spell i need it  the machine is due to head back out into the wilds on wednesday it need to be working .

Hi I've been able to use a 3G usb dongle on my openSUSE 11.4. I used Knetworkmanager which has a mobile interface configuration u (Mobile Broadband). You will need to get details from your mobile broadband provider which i assume you  have done since you say you have connected to the network.  The problem seems to be getting dns addresses of the provider. I was able to do this using the command netconfig update -f This should populate your /etc/resolve.conf file with the dns setting from the mobile broadband service. to check if your dns is running you can use the command dig www.yahoo.com which should return the addresses of the yahoo servers if dns is up. I hope this helps Brgds -- Jide Ogunmekan Executive Director General Data Engineering Services PLC 16, Oshin Street, Kongi Bodija, Ibadan Oyo State Tel: 0700-SKANNET Mobile: 08023130954, 08086132375 Contact Me Chat omeks Signature powered by WiseStamp Jide Ogunmekan 16, Oshin Street Kongi, Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo State jide.ogunmekan@gmail.com ☎: 08086132375 - 08023130954 My profiles: Contact me: omeks jide.ogunmekan Signature powered by WiseStamp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

any how it is solved now i just got to stop updates changing file permissions and problem completely solved  ..

You would think that when a file has had it's permissions changed manually things would leave it alone but Oh no   well I'll find a way to fix the obvious software bug in the update system

it would be reasonably gracious of you, to describe the problem and it's resolution - that way in future those of us too dumb to otherwise know, will be able to supply an answer should someone else inquire.
