Unfortunately, I have no clue where to go from there. I'd like to
connect to vodafone in Germany via UMTS, but I didn't find a
/etc/ppp/peers/ and a corresponding chat script configuration in the
archives which works for me.
Is anybody else using a similar setup?
I tried the same with Vodafone RO for quite a few months two years ago.
Bottom line is it doesn't work.
I had the same problems two years ago. Tried to make the config work
with Vodafone RO and failed miserably. I can firmly say that those were
two months that I lost in vain.
What I would recommand is to stop wasting time now and only use that
modem on Windows with the applications provided by Vodafone.
Why?
I've used the setup described below with Vodafone Italia without problems
for years:

That script didn't work for me. Couldn't authentificate.
Maybe it will work for Germany.
The PPP session is with the adapter, not the provider. You usually want
to disable anything "clever" as they rarely cope with this correctly.
It shouldn't make a difference which country if it's the same
adapter and firmware.
For a different huawei card I'm using this in /etc/ppp/peers/3g

and in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (possibly unused)
# client server secret IP addresses
x * blah *
I already have the phone provider's APN programmed into context 1
so I can just use ATD*99# and skip the AT+CGDCONT line, or you can
set it yourself like in dcoppa's post.
If the APN isn't already setup and you aren't certain about which
one to use, then it's probably useful to connect with the provider's
normal software on a Windows/MacOS machine and close the connection,
then open a terminal to the serial port of the device (putty can
do serial if you're on a newer version of Windows with no built-in
terminal software) and type "AT+CGDCONT?" to see how the contexts
are setup.
Thanks a lot -- it basically works!

I get an IP and a default route. I can also ping/connect to remote hosts.
From /var/log/messages:

Any ideas what's causing the "bad configure-acks"?
Is there a way to automatically receive a DNS resolver config for
/etc/resolv.conf from the mobile ISP? (currently I use the DNS resolver
at my local network...)
