Dan Williams scripst: Quick question though; for those of you doing PPP over GPRS/EDGE or EVDO cards, can you use wvdial? What does your connection process look like and how did you set up the card/connection? And two last notes -- wvdial is by far better for this type of magic. And the

Finding existing PPP connection?

2006-12-14 Thread Matej Cepl
Hi, I know there are some attempts to make PPP working with NM, but I have slightly more simple answer. Is it possible to *discover* existing PPP connection with NM created by other means (i.e., running wvdial in su-ued gnome-terminal)? I have incredibly crappy connection (or bad support for

What about looking to see if ppp0 is an active connection? I have a program called conky that I run on the desktop, and it polls ppp0. When it gets an IP address, it displays it along with transfer statistics. I have the same problem as Matej, because I can't make VPN connections because NM

You can and it works just like any other modem except I dial #777 (Or whatever the vendor wants you to dial) and use a generic username with no password. The Chatscript is provided by the phone vendors (Or at least Sierra Wireless provided one for my card). I think some providers require a PIN

It is all manufacturer specific, this is why gprsec has profiles for all the providers and devices. I honestly think that automatic setup would be impossible for NetworkManager without a large database, maybe the gprsec database can be leveraged? The best that could be done outside of that
