[gentoo-user] Make use of Dell 5520 Voda built-in HSDPA modem.
Hi. I have a dell xps M1530 machine with built-in 3g modem: $ /usr/sbin/lsusb | grep -i hsdpa Bus 007 Device 002: ID 413c:8138 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 5520 Voda I Mobile Broadband (3G HSDPA) Minicard EAP-SIM Port Ideally, to manage broadband connections with network-manager. But, when I try to create one there is no modems listed in networkmanager. Do I need a kernel module? If yes, which one? -- Gary Golden

Try to add the following to your kernel config: Device Drivers --- [*] USB support --- M USB Serial Converter support --- M USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems If everything goes well, you should find something like /dev/ttyUSB0 in your filesystem.
