I just got a Verizon UMW190 USB modem for my ASUS 1000HE netbook. It's too new to have any formal linux support. When I try to use the Network Manager, it insists that it is a GSM modem, which would be outside the US. Verizon is on CDMA. Google came to the rescue. I found two sites that helped: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/52729 http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1269842.html They both said to connect with pppd and gave the scripts to do so. ----- 1xevdo ttyACM0 115200 debug noauth defaultroute usepeerdns connect-delay 10000 user xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com show-password crtscts lock lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-echo-interval 65535 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat' ----- 1xevdo_chat TIMEOUT 20 ECHO OFF ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' ABORT '\nERROR\r' ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' ABORT '\nBUSY\r' ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' '' \rAT TIMEOUT 60 OK ATH0 OK ATQ0 OK ATV1 OK ATM1 OK ATS0=0 OK ATS7=60 OK ATDT#777 CONNECT \d\c They both go to /etc/ppp/peers. Then 'pppd call 1xevdo' will connect to the modem, dial Verizon and set up the network. This works in Ubuntu 9.10, but NOT in openSUSE 11.2. In Ubuntu pppd does everything and successfully disconnects from the terminal. Then I can browse the internet. OpenSUSE goes through everything except for setting up the network. I see a message in /var/log/messages that 1xevdo_chat has completed. It doesn't disconnect and I can't browse or ping. I even tried it with the firewall shut off. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
