Alright Gentlemen thanks for all your contributions, Am using the Suse enterprise desktop 11.2xx on a laptop, Mr. Semwogerere's contribution brought me closer to success though i failed to find a way to pin the Network connections to the systems tray i found it somewhere in Yast Control center.
I Created the GSM connection with an option of 2G there was even 3G but i assume Warid is on 2G (someone will corect me here) Put in the APN and the number 99# was already there by default i guess. i dunno the username and password and the ticked off all the other options PAP CHAP Et al. there was space for network left it blank. I ticked off the box that says connect automatically, i did not see the option to punch in the IP Addresses and i could not get it to dail so where did i miss out? but when i put in the USB i see the Mobile Agent icon do you think Warid Customer care can help? Thanks again for the Good work On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Simon Vass <[email protected]> wrote: > Your most welcome Chris! > > Anyone on OpenSuse or Redhat/Fedora can confirm also? > > > > Simon Vass > Managing Director > E-Tech Uganda Ltd > > http://www.etech.ug > Tel: +256 (0) 312260620 or (0) 312260621 > email: [email protected] > skype: e-techservicedesk > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chris R.
