I have been trying to get mobile broadband working on my laptop. I tried openSUSE11.2, and now 11.3. I have a certain amount of success. But no final joy. I suspect it is my lack of knowledge that is the problem here.
I am trying to use a Swedish service called "Comviq Surf" that provides a USB modem. It is a per-day/week/month service, similar to what you get in hotels for wireless. The modem is (from lsusb):
idVendor 0x12d1 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. idProduct 0x1001 E620 USB Modem bcdDevice 0.00 iManufacturer 2 HUAWEI Technology iProduct 1 HUAWEI Mobile
I also own that device,labeled as Vodafone K3715. No chance to get it working with (K)Networkmanger 0.7 of 11.2 ( see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567888) . I could dial in with umtsmon , but umtsmon did setup DNS right only after changing NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY in /etc/sysconfig/network/config from "auto" to "*ppp* NetworkManager". I also removed the PIN code from that device.
With 11.3RC it now works basically with (K)Networkmanager, but there are still some edges. For example sometimes after a resume (K)Networkmanger just says "networkmanagement disabled"
Hum... I have been trying with the most recent 11.3 as well. Perhaps I should remove the PIN code. It is the factory default, which is 0000. I will try that. It would be great if I could at least see that something is being tried and is failing. As always, lack of meaningful messages bites one the the nether regions. BTW, does this device work with the vodafone Linux drivers mentioned earlier in this thread? I thought vodafone used a different device.
