Any tips are welcome, seems I can't figure this out... use nm-cli to list, start and stop connections. you can connect with VNC to your server to create initial connection settings or you could import/set everything gconftool-2. here is a discussion about that: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2010-November/msg00082.html Ok, so to do it the 'nm' - way, I should generate a configuration that works on a pc with a graphical environment and load it via gconftool. Problem is that these pc's run on small flash cards so they cannot afford to have a graphical environment. I can install the same ubuntu on a sata disk and generate config, and load that config on the pc with the flash card. In that case, is nm monitoring the connection? Can I read out cellular/3g-reception somewhere from command line?

Hi Lennert, If you want a minimal install you need something like the hso_connect.sh script which is available in the HSO driver packages from Option. You can locate the latest script here: http://www.pharscape.org/forum/index.php/topic,821.0.html Cheers, Paul -- www.pharscape.org http://www.pharscape.org Thanks, the connect.sh script got me a working connection. However, is there a possibility to read out the 3g-reception status etc? Right now I'm trying to keep the connection up with cron. Seems this is not a great way to do it, right?

Hi Lennert, Not the place to promote my site this is a bit OT. pm me for a solution or trawl my site for howtos ... comgt tool works but it is also easy with chat scripts.

I'm ALMOST there... I think. I'd also think it's misconfiguration. Can you make sure you have the Notification Area widget added to your panel? There's no arm in adding a new one to be sure, so you can do the following: 1) right click the top panel, select Add to panel 2) Scroll to Notification Area, click it and click Add The notification area widget will get added, and you should see at least nm-applet if nm-applet is running, and likely other things such as the volume meter and such. One answer to another question on here was use nm-cli to list, start and stop connections. Here's what I got: awh...@awhite:/etc/NetworkManager$ nm-cli nm-cli: command not found awh...@awhite:/etc/NetworkManager$ nmcli nmcli: command not found awh...@awhite:/etc/NetworkManager$ Suggestions? nmcli wasn't available back in Ubuntu 9.10. It's a new feature I introduced in 10.10 -- made it get installed by the build process when I learned it was available. At this point the window popped up to ask me the password for my wireless network. The pulldown was grayed out. Only choice available was Cancel. So I chose that: I don't know why there would be a pull-down there, I just can't picture it. Maybe you could attach a screenshot? But usually, if it's asking you for a password, just enter something in the text field and the OK button will become active. If you send a screenshot, make sure it's one of the full screen, maybe we can notice something that will clarify what is going on.
