I thought more about reading the PIN or its hash with a modified card reader 
but since I could not find any information about that, it might not be 
possible.

In fact I'm not concerned about the actual use by some thiefs. It's a flat 
rate, phone calls should be impossible and SMS should still be protected by a 
second PIN. Furthermore I can lock the SIM as soon as I realize its theft.

However, now that I think about it I'm worried that they could use the SIM for 
illegal activities and since I can be hold responsible if my unprotected WLAN 
is used for spamming, frauds, etc. it might be necessary to protect my SIM as 
well.

This PIN is your SIM-PIN equal to that one you use for your mobile phone. 
Without PIN everyone can take your SIM-card, put it into his/her phone and 
use it. It may even be possible that one can use it to make phone calls.

After you enter 3 false PINs your card gets locked and you have to unlock it 
by a super-PIN.

So, if you decide to use your card without PIN and loose it. The finder will 
be overjoyed to get a PIN-less SIM and use it on your cost.

Are these PINs even considered save?

What about setting PIN and setting it by using 'chat' just before starting 
pppd?

(Don't try to use a pppd - chatscript. If your pin was already entered it 
fails with an error.)

Some time ago I created a script to set PIN just after inserting my old umts - 
card. I'll have a look if I can find it in the archives.

Just for the records: I'm now using the scripts provided by Novatel because 
umtsmon did not work (and because it was the only package requiring qt on my 
laptop). Now I'm connecting with 
"pppd file /etc/ppp/hsdpa_options ttyUSB0"

Because their scripts do not work as long as you have to enter a PIN, I've 
deactivated the PIN using my mobile phone (umtsmon or the Windows tool could 
have worked as well).

For E-Plus / Base you need the following settings:
APN:"internet.eplus.de" 
user:   "eplus"
password:"internet"
number: "*99***1#"


I'm still searching for the kernel option(s).

Not yet, among other things I suspect "Elan PCMCIA CardBus Adapter USB Client" 
as well as some settings concerning networking but there are really too many 
to be sure. I'll deactivate them over time and post it here.

That's fine. Could you find out which parameter you had to change to get it 
working?

Heureka, I've found it!

I used kdiff to compare your kernel config with mine. Then I've set every 
option (even completely unrelated stuff like parallel port) with some minor 
exceptions to match your settings and now it works!

Okay, umtsmon needs to be root (I have to adjust permissions, I think) and I 
can't make a connection but I've got the same problem on Windows so it's most 
certainly ISP related.

Thanks Michael, without you I would have been forced to switch back to Ubuntu

Good morning...

I just tried my Merlin Card with pcmcia adapter.

Following Modules are used additional to normal usb modules:

No, I used diff to compare the "ls -l /dev" output before and a after the 
insertion, there is no difference.

Do does /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 exist after inserting your Merlin - 
card?

If they do exist try to start umtsmon with:

umtsmon --serial /dev/ttyUSB0

BTW: What color shows your Merlin card after inserting?

/var/log/messages works now. (syslog-ng's sync had to be set to 1). 

Unfortunately, that does not solve my problem. airprime, option, usbserial and 
ftdi_sio are compiled as modules and loaded. Yet, I still don't get anything 
useful on tail -f /var/log/messages.

Might it be due to the fact that I have to use an adapter (shipped with the 
card, works with Windows)?

suspend2-2.6.22-r1

I fact, this machine NEVER produced any output to /var/log/messages. It's 
completely empty. Its only content is the gzip-header when logrotate 
compresses the empty file once a week.

Okay, I've found option.ko and airprime.ko. tail -f /var/log/messages still 
doesn't output anything. Might that be a configuration issue (syslog-ng? 
kernel?)?

I can't find option.ko. Where is it?

Do you mean that I don't need these HSDPA-scripts they offer when I use 
umtsmon?

It seems to depend on kernel version.

With 2.6.2[1|2] I'm using option.ko without any problems:

Aug 15 13:48:25 mars option 3-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
Aug 15 13:48:25 mars usb 3-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to 
ttyUS
B0
Aug 15 13:48:25 mars Device driver ttyUSB0 lacks bus and class support for 
being
 resumed.
Aug 15 13:48:25 mars option 3-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
Aug 15 13:48:25 mars usb 3-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to 
ttyUS
B1
Aug 15 13:48:25 mars Device driver ttyUSB1 lacks bus and class support for 
being resumed.

I use umtsmon (http://umtsmon.sourceforge.net) which supports XU870 when 
starting with '--serial /dev/ttyUSB0'.
