whoohoo - i'm sending this via hsdpa (3g) wireless modem from opensolaris sony vaio pcg-z1vgp laptop opensolaris b74 <a href="http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/cardbus/";>alternate cardbus driver</a> <a href="http://www.novatelwireless.com/products/expresscard/merlin-xu870.html";>novatel wirless Merlin XU870 3G HSDPA 3.6/7.2 Mbps ExpressCard</a> ('3' wireless broadband account: http://www.three.com.au)
in addition to connecting the card to the usbsacm driver (above) i did this: # ln -s /dev/term/0 /dev/hsdpa - created /etc/ppp/peers/3netconnect as below: <code> nodetach /dev/hsdpa 230400 crtscts holdoff 1 noauth asyncmap 00000000 passive defaultroute usepeerdns noccp novj lcp-echo-interval 0 connect '/usr/bin/chat -V -t15 -f /etc/ppp/3netaccess-chat' </code> and a chat script as below: <code> connect '/usr/bin/chat -V -t15 -f /etc/ppp/3netaccess-chat' when:/etc/ppp/peers# cat ../3netaccess-chat 'ABORT' 'BUSY' 'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER' '' 'AT' 'OK' 'ATD *99#' CONNECT '\d\c' </code> my wireless broadband account doesn't use a username or password - it uses the SIM card for authentication i added an /etc/ppp/ip-up script to copy the /etc/ppp/resolv.conf file into /etc/resolv.conf, and an /etc/ppp/ip-down script to restore the original resolv.conf now all i want is a pretty front-end gui to pppd to turn the connection on & off -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org
