[arch-general] experience with gprs/umts cards & linux?
Hi, Unfortunatly i need to travel a lot recently. For windows you can use those pcmia cards that act as a modem for umts/gprs connections. If anyone tried something like that on linux, please share your experience. Maybe i could use a mobile with bluetooth as well. -- best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Arvid Ephraim Picciani

Hi I use my sony-ericsson k750 cell phone as gprs modem. It runs well with the usb cable and wvdial, I didn't try it over bluetooth. Regards, Rodland. On Mon, May 19, 2008 at 8:40 AM, BaSh <bash.lnx@gmail.com> wrote:

I use my SE K800i by the USB cable or by bluetooth as well. Both ways work just fine :) In fact, the cable option doesn't even need any config if you are using networkmanager -- Blog: damnshock.blogspot.com Fotolog: www.fotolog.com/damnshock

I use the the Huawei E220 USB Modem which is sold by various vendors (e.g. t-mobile, o2, ... in Germany) for UMTS/GPRS. It works quiet good for me. To get an impression of the setting effort there is a good article at the gentoo wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_HUAWEI_E220_HSDPA_USB_MODEM btw: i use wvdial for dial-in as the configuration is a lot less annoying ;) kr - Michael

Btw quite != quiet. I first thought it was a funny typo when you said you were quiet busy, but you made it twice in a row, so I am not sure anymore :)

even if it's hard to believe now: it's indeed a typo ;) had an accident some days ago, so my right hand is kinda handicapped. i came out with some really strange typos in the last days cause there is a kind of synchronization problem with my hands right now. usually i realize them while reading what i write - but in that case it seems that 'quiet' looked to familiar to realize that it's a mistake ;) thanks for the hint anyway - Michael

I use my Samsung SGH-A706 via cable or Bluetooth, dialing with wvdial. -- Jaime Jose Oyarzun Knittel Estudiante Ingenieria Civil Informatica Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria Valparaiso - Chile
Yeah it works great. Check your logs when you put it in, it should recognise it as a USB device (ttyUSB0 etc). You can then use a ppp dialer as if it's a modem. -----Original Message----- From: arch-general-bounces@archlinux.org [mailto:arch-general-bounces@archlinux.org] On Behalf Of Jaime Jose Oyarzun Knittel Sent: Saturday, 24 May 2008 2:25 AM To: General Discusson about Arch Linux Subject: Re: [arch-general] experience with gprs/umts cards & linux?
