As a related query both Fedora/Redhat and OpenSUSE use Network Manager? Do they also use the Mobile Broadband Wizard and if so have they uploaded the additional ISP's details I pushed into Gnome last year? I see Ubuntu 10.10 finally did get the new version of the database which contains the up to date ISP list for Uganda. I don't know about the others?

I have use opensuse 11.2 and 11.3 and on both I have been able to use usb modems through the network manager that comes with opensuse. 1. go to yast and set your default network management to Network Manager 2. once network manager is running, connect your USB Modem 3. right click on the network manager icon in the system tray and select manage connections. 4. select add gsm connection and edit the connection name 5. Select the number to dial ( for Orange that Number is *99#) 6. Enter the APN (for orange that is orange.ug) 7.Make sure that select automatically checkbox is checked 8. On the PPP tab , select the authentication options that suit you network ( for orange check the following, authentication, PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv2, MSCHAP, EAP 9. On Orange you may also check , allow BSD compression, Allow Deflate compression, USE TCP header compression NB: For Zain then number is *99# and the APN is web.ug.zain.com unless they change to airtel For the other networks call customer care on that network and ask for their APN because most use the same number to dial. -- Regards Ssemwogerere Jude T.B IT Manager Kenfreight Uganda Limited Plot 1906 Bweyogerere, Jinja Road P.O.Box 7492 Kampala, Uganda Fax: +256-414-286-950 Phone: +256-414-286-955/7 Mobile: +256-712-311-874 On Tuesday, January 04, 2011 04:34:38 pm michael wrote: > Well must be the same way you use the orange modem.
