Ok, Now we have something. The computer recognizes the card, the driver is initialized, and wvdial found it. Unfortunately, this is also where I was when I realized I had to compile a new driver for my card. Your card, and my card, (and other similar cards) have the same problem. The card is both a wireless Internet card (I am loathe to call this a modem, as it does not modulate/demodulate a signal, it just relays them, same as a network card), and also the internal storage for the windows driver is set up as a pseudo cdrom drive. The cdrom drive gets set up first, and then the windows driver has to switch it over to use the wireless portion. They both have seperate USB settings, so that the windows driver knows when it has been set up correctly. You will need to compile a new driver, and possibly install additional software to do this. Also, you will have to create a custom udev script to get all of this set up. Without access to your hardware, I won't be able to help much, as it took me two days of compiling, and writing test scripts, to get mine working. If you still want to do this, I will try to help. I won't be online much until after tuesday, as I have some traveling to do. Right now, it is looking like setting up Internet Connection Sharing in windows, and setting up a small network, will be the easiest thing to do. Synaptics will work without a internet connection, but you will have to set up a local repository somewhere on your network anyway, and you will have to mirror a remote repository to be able to stay updated. The last option, is to just d/l the packages you want onto your windows box, and use dpkg to install them. All of these items have a pretty steep learning curve, beyond the scope of this forum. I am not saying don't ask, just that there are other forums that are better suited for asking general Linux questions. ICS in windows is a point/click interface, that has been written for even the (UMM... PC word here) 'least experienced' user to use. Networking can be as simple as a crossover cable attached between the two computers, or (preferably) a hub/switch/wireless box and the necessary cables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
