Following the instructions given on the pages that contain this
link I've been using the modem without problems for about 2 years on
Mandriva Linux 2006 and openSuSe 10.3. Having been given another older
machine I installed Mandriva 2009, Suse 11.x, & Fedora Core 9.
My experience goes like this:-
Mandriva 2009
With the modem plugged in (any USB socket) the system hangs and
refuses to boot. Anybody else had this experience?
SuSe 11.x
The modem worked fine for a few months, but all the time I was
installing SuSe system updates and eventually I lost my internet
connection. The reason apparently being that modprobe cannot now find
pppoatm. In /lib/modules there now exist 2 directories 2.6.27.19-3.2-pae
and 2.6.27.7-9-pae. The first one of these is the one now used by
modprobe and has no pppoatm module. I
tried /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-3.2-pae/kernel/net/atm/atm.ko, but this did
not work. There does exist the
module /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-pae/kernel/net/atm/pppoatm.ko. Is there a
suggestion as to how I can restore SuSe's internet connection?
Fedora Core 9
Everything seemed O.K. but having installed the network monitor
applet on the panel, it seems that the modem remains idle until the
command /sbin/ifup ppp0 (see FAQ page) is issued.
At least I'm not totally cut off.
Regards.
