Sluggers,
I've got a Telstra Next G card working under Linux Mint 4.0 (ubuntu
gutsy) and I'm looking to tidy up (read de-geekafy) the steps needed to
connect it.
Firstly I need to load the usbserial.ko module which I do with;
insmod
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0001
Where should this go under Ubuntu? I found /etc/modprobe.d but my first
attempt to create a nextG file in there didn't work and I'm still
loading the module by hand.
Secondly, to connect I use Kppp to "dial" the connection. This works
fine except that in order to set the default route to the PPP0 interface
I need to be "root". Thus I fire up kppp using sudo in a terminal
window. This prompts for my password and works ok but I'm wanting to
give this laptop to an ex-windows user who is used to connecting to Next
G without having to enter their password in a terminal window. Ideas?
Thanks
P.
