connecting a usb 3g modem
The usb modem is recognised succesfully by the kernel, just simply configure ppp to get it connecting to the net. I tried with the huawei 270 modem and I succesfully connected but I can't ping anything... it is because the modem need one usb 2.0 port or two usb 1.0 ports? I have the wire to connect the modem to two usb 1.0, so just but a usb hub for the neo? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

You mean like if you use host somedomain.com on your Linux system, when using the modem as the DNS server, you get complaints like "malformed response" etc.? I have had this complaint with ADSL modems - both Huawei and DLink. The solution is to set your Linux host's resolv.conf to directly query your ISP's DNS servers, or OpenDNS servers, or to run a caching DNS on your Linux host, possibly with ISP nameservers or OpenDNS servers set as forwarders. Surprisingly, that proprietary OS that most FOSS people hate to use... works just fine with the DNS implementation on the ADSL modems... a case of two brokens make one "fixed"? :-P Cheers Ed. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

No the dhcp client puts the DNS nameserver lines in, but they don't always work. There's another issue on my box somehow that later, NetworkManager overwrites it with old DNS nameserver line somehow, but now I realized why my connectivity breaks I stop NetworkManager for the duration and that solves it. | Surprisingly, that proprietary OS that most FOSS people hate to use... | works just fine with the DNS implementation on the ADSL modems... a | case of two brokens make one "fixed"? :-P Dread to think of it. - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAki7tLQACgkQOjLpvpq7dMr+UwCfeGhoqAP0Q5bAG8nnJs9WnVNs fjgAnRNPXcFYBViVb2pm3KbqnOuaNqcz =pj+t -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
