[opensuse-factory] Anyone able to use a UMTS data stick?
Is anyone successfully using a UMTS data stick with 12.2 (or Factory or 12.1 with kernel 3.4 or later for that matter)? I always get pppd[7116]: unrecognized option 'wwan0' since that is what NetworkManager now passes to pppd instead of ttyUSBX and failed to find a way to change that on the user side. Attached is the, ahem, creative workaround I devised to track this down and get online this weekend; https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776520 has details Is this just me, or will this hit everyone/most/many with a UMTS data stick?

They are some discussions in the opensuse forums: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/476152-s... But the best way is to install (for opensuse 12.1) the Mobile Manager, and the "escritorio-movistar": http://www.movilforum.com/archive/opensuse121/ http://movilforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Mobile-Manager-Reference-Gu... http://movilforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Mobile-Manager.pdf http://movilforum.com/escritoriomovistar/#EM10 Cheers 2012/8/18 Gerald Pfeifer <gp@suse.com>

Well, not exactly a data stick but a Qualcomm Gobi 2000. That is an internal WWAN adapter accessed by a ttyUSB device like data sticks. And it works using 12.2 RC 2.
Maybe this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835153#c9 ?
