Re: PCMCIA (EVDO) problem

To get my PC5220 card working, it was really pretty simple.

The usbserial driver is included with kubuntu and works fine. The problem is that it doesn't know that my EVDO card is supposed to use that driver. Here is what I did:

I added one line to /etc/modules

usbserial vendor=0xf3d product=0x0112 maxsize=2048

Unless you've got a PC5220 card, yours will have a different vendor and product ID. You can probably find out the information with the lsusb command. Look for your card, it will list ...ID [vendor]:[product].... You may also be able to look up your card on the internet to find this information. After you've saved the file, you should be able to insert your card and have it picked up.

Next, to solve the disconnection problems related to the dormant mode on the card, I commented out two of the lines in /etc/ppp/options. They were the ones about lcp echo's. Simply add a # in front of the line to comment it out.

Then, using Kppp I setup the "dialup" account for my card.

I created a modem in Kppp to use the modem /dev/ttyUSB0

The phone number is #777, the username is [phonenumber]@vzw3g.com and the password is vzw.

Hope this helps!
