I have recently acquired a Vodafone Novatel merlin 3gp card and getting it working on cellular network has been quite a problem. However it is now working and I can connect to cellular network at 384kbs. However I have problems with routing. My laptop has both a network card, and wifi. Eth0 Eth1. Although the Novatel card sets up its own DNS servers in my resolv.conf and gives me an ip for the session, the laptop gets confused and tries to resolve dns via the network card eth0. The only successful resolution is if I go into Yast and set the cards at start on manual. However that means a config change again before I can use wifi or the network card. I have tried using ifconfig eth0 down before using the Novatel card but that does not seem to work correctly. Has anyone got any suggestions how to deal with this other what I do above ------------------- Ron Wilson God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.
