Just stop network manager:
sudo network-manager stop
in a terminal.
But which modem do you have, and what is the content of the wvdial
config file? You should be able to use Network manager/modem manager.
Marius, I use Ubuntu:
rick2@pombo:~$ sudo network-manager stop
sudo: network-manager: comando não encontrado
rick2@pombo:~$ whereis network-manager
network-manager:
rick2@pombo:~$ cat /etc/wvdial.conf
# This file was generated by "sudo wvdialconf".
# I edited it a bit.
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
#This should set PIN-code but it fails.
#Init2 = AT+CPIN=0123
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 14400000
New PPPD = yes
#I changed this back to ttyACM0 !
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Password = tmn
Username = tmn
Stupid Mode = 1
I worked this out with the tech support guy, while dangling the web for
some information.
It would be great if we could get nm-applet to work, but I'd be already
happy if I managed to get the network manager to tell apps that it is
indeed connected to the Internet, so they'll work fine.
Thanks!
