[Bug 338498] New: Adding support for 3G Sierra Wireless devices.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338498 Summary: Adding support for 3G Sierra Wireless devices. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: miguel@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Congratulations on OpenSUSE 10.3, I have loved it. I plugged my Sierra Card and it automatically detected it, loaded the kernel module. But it did not create a /dev/modem device for it, that has to be done manually. I follow the description in some blog, and got it working out of the box. All I had to do was create the follwoing file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-3g-datacards.rules With the following contents: # Rules for hotplugging Cardbus 3G datacards SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0af0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6701", RUN="/etc/cingularcard.sh" KERNEL=="ttyUSB0", SYMLINK="modem", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="ttyUSB2", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660" And now it works out of the box, it creates my symlink for /dev/modem and I can dial out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You have to do this locally, like you did, depending on your setup, we can't do this by default, it just asks for trouble. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We should have the needed pieces available soon. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
