Does anyone have experience with any brand usb gprs modems with opensuse? Other laptop died that had a pcmcia slot which my gprs card worked fine in. This laptop has no express or pcmcia slots. Any responses, positive or negative are welcome. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use Huawei E220 USB modem. OpenSuSE 10.3 has had some problems detecting the modem at boot (sometimes I have had to replug several times the modem in order to be detected by the kernel). In 11.0 the modem is detected at boot, but I cannot use KInternet, as before, to dial my Internet Provider. Till I figure out what to do with KInternet, I use wvdial, which seems to be very fast when connecting. -- Bogdan Cristea http://cristeab.googlepages.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

hi, thanks. Ive been using a pcmcia cingular card which worked great until the laptop died and my new one doesnt even have an express slot. I use wvdial too, keep things simple, I like command line anyway can see whats going on all the time. I think Im going to order this gprs router I saw, plug the full size card in, and it broadcasts the signal wireless so more than 1 person can use it, looks cool. thanks again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
