I Really dont understand this list .. I have an issue her that IS a show stopper absolutely and yet when i attempt to get assistance i get a reply fron ONE person thanks by the way but people that claim this sort of thing is easy just sit back and dont or cant even be bothered to answer and it is disgusting to put it even mildly i know there are people with attitude that think they are above answering mere mortal long time users like me but that is not going to help any is it Right Machine involed is an eMachines eM250 KAV60 with broadcom wirless working fine ethernet port working fine but where this machine lives the only way to get a broadband connection is via a mobile broadband dongal which i have got loading and connecting , This is where the fun begins i can not get a route out onto the internet route returns Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.64.64.64 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 ifconfig returns a PtoP address of 10.64.64.64 I have tried to get a connection using NetworkManagement ( the plasmoid version ) the machine is running OS11.4 i586 with KDE4.6.0 and the stock off the disc kernel plasmoid networkmangment crashes out as soon i i try to configure the mobile connection and is hit an miss with the wifi and hardwired connections once again this is using the Plasmoid version . I have similar problems on my own laptop which is a 64 bit Compaq machine but with similar hardware otherwise but i can get that to connect if i wait long enough after pluging in the dongal about 10 mins and it will normally connect but not on the emachines netbook cant get a route out no matter what i do so i guess there are people out there that know the secret spell i need it the machine is due to head back out into the wilds on wednesday it need to be working .
