(I'll make this quick and then leave the thread, as at this point it is mostly all noise and no signal as far as the OP's problem is concerned) About a week ago Cristian said DHCP hadn't worked, nor setting a static address, for that matter, so your mileage does indeed vary, hence my reply. No one said anything about PPP sessions over serial interfaces. In the thread I linked to I only refer to ucom devices as in my case I need them to issue two AT commands (1) to bring the radio up and (2) tell the modem to establish the link by activating the appropriate PDP profile (probably this is what you mean by "putting it in the right mode"). Indeed, after the 3G link is up all I have to do is run dhclient on cdce0, but I need the serial interface to bring up the modem first. Since Cristian said dhclient didn't work, I assume he needs to do the same. Cheers Zé --
