I'm developing an application to monitorize the network interfaces plugged in my PC. I know that wireless interfaces are listed in /proc/net/dev, but I don't know how to identify a cellular NIC.Is there any virtual file in /proc that shows the cellular NICs in the system? Could I identify different cellular NICs looking at /dev/tty?

I have the Huawei E160 UMTS Stick with a German SIM from O2. Actually it is a prepaid tariff where I can buy a daily data flat rate. And I am running Ubuntu 10.04 UNR. I use SMS to order and confirm a daily data flat rate and I made this working with gammu. Not the most comfortable but a very reliable solution (see In order to charge the my account or to check my account balance I can either use the Original Huawei Software under Windows or I can put the SIM in my mobile and dial a number code. By entering the code '4444' my UMTS account gets recharged with 10 EUR (debited form my bank account). With the code '*101#' I can check the account balance.
What I want to do: I want to be able to recharge my account and check my account balance with Ubuntu, so without taking the SIM out and putting it into a mobile phone (and obviously without using the original Windows software).Using gammu in order to send the necessary codes did not work so far. When entering gammu --getussd *101# I get the following result:

I post here wanting to know if it's Possible to run wvdial as soon as linux detects USB modem.I have already installed and done the setting for using wvdial. I can successfully use wvdial command to setup internet connection.But I have only 1 USB modem. When my wife wants to use it for her PC, she disconnects it from my linux machine.What I want to do now is... 1 that when I attatch the USB back to my linux, I'd want it to do "wvdial &" automatically.2 that when linux is rebooted, "wvdial &" done automatically as soon as it detects USB modem.
View 2 Replies View Relatedsometimes our ADSL connection gives up and we are left without internet connection for days until the problem gets fixed. I mean by this problem along the phone line. It affects all machines that connect to the internet through a Netgear WIFI Modem Router. I recently tried an alternative when this happens is to use a USB Huawei Mobile Broadband UMTS connection which works when you insert it in 1 laptop. Is there a way i could get the Netgear WIFI modem router to connect on that usb stick or PC that is online on that usb stick and give access to other machines that will want to connect to the web ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can I connect laptop to internet using GPRS enabled Phone?
Phone is Nokia 6600 slide. And laptop(Dell) has F10 installed.
I have two Desktops. Both running Fedora 9 and connected to each other with a crossover cable. I have a GPRS connection via a USB bluetooth Dongle. I can connect thru rfcomm on Kppp. Assigned static ip's 192.168.10.1/2 and can ping from one computer to the other. So far so good but now I want to share the internet connection between the two computers and run into a maze of gateways and DNS and iptables and am spinning around with no clues. Some of the things I do not understand are
1. What gateway does one assign when your computer directly connect to the internet through a GPRS and not through a NIC or router??
2. When I try to load the shared NFS folder, why does it say "could not load the location: internal error"?
3. Is there somewhere I could get a step-by step instruction??
I am trying to get pppd/chat working with an internal Wavecom modem, but PPP terminates with message "LCP terminated by peer". But, same pppd/chat configuration is working on my own Linux OS with Huawei 3G modem. I tried several options to get it working, but no luck. The problem is happening during the PPP negotiation with the Modem:
rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x2]
LCP terminated by peer
But this only mean that there was a failure during PPP setup between Linux and the Modem. I tested the modem with manual AT commands via minicom to further investigate to problem, but could not even activate the PDP context:
Modem is registered and attached to Vodacom's network:
at+cops=?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using a laptop with a realtek8139 integrated adapter. When I boot the live cd (Puppy), I go to configure the internet connection, and shows the module for the card has automatically loaded, and I just set it to DHCP and that is all. After installing the os, however, I go to configure the connection, and it tells me that no module has been loaded, so I should manually choose from the list. When I do, it tells me that it failed to load. I have also tried allowing it to probe by loading every possible driver, to no avail. I have reinstalled the os twice, and it does not recognize the adapter, but when I boot live, it works fine. Any reason why it would do this?

When I plug in my Data Cable and set it to Samsung PC Studio mode, my phone isn't detected as a modem. I just tried wvdialconf and it says "No modem detected". I'm guessing that maybe I'm missing some drivers here. what I can do get the phone detected as a modem.

i want to ask a question. sometimes i use a gprs modem to connect to the net. the gprs modem uses the usb port. i've connected this pc to another machine through crossover cable. the problem is that when there are two active connections, firefox can't load anything. also how can i share the gprs modem with my other pc that is connected via crossover?
PS. in my active network connections it shows:
eth0- the NIC
and auto eth1 - the gprs modem
i have also tried to change the firefox preferences but to no avail.
Both my computers run on FC11.
I've installed F13 on two Dell E6400 laptops, both with Broadcom BCM4312 wireless cards. After updating them both, I enabled the RPMFusion repos and installed the akmod-ed wireless driver on each (following these instructions: [URL] Wireless works perfectly on one laptop, but doesn't seem to be working on the other. The wl module is activated (shows up in lsmod) and the wireless card is enabled (wlan0 shows up in ifconfig), but Network Manager isn't showing any available networks. For the record, wireless works on both laptops with Ubuntu 9.10 I am going to try cloning the entire drive on the working laptop and sticking it on the dud one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI do not have any shares setup on my home network so this has never been a big deal to me. My mother finally took enough interest in my operating system to allow me to dual boot 3 of her computers. Everything was up and running like a charm and then she asked "What about connecting to the file server?"
I click on "network" under nautilus and start clicking around - no where in here is the file server that every Windows system on the network can see (5 or so other systems with xp/vista/7 on them - so I know the share works). A small bit of time and some command life foo later I had hunted down and manually mounted the share and added and fstab entry for the drive so my mother would never have to go through that on her own.
That being said - did I do things the hardway here? Can someone please tell me there is an easy method that successfully detects and connects to samba shares without having to resort to CLI? Personally I do not mind doing this, but it is an issue when I am installing Linux for a beginner.

A few days ago I ordered a UMTS USB-stick from Fonic and I received a Huawei model E1550. Win and Mac install files are on the stick, but nothing for Linux. I found for the USB Modeswitch "drivers" at www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitsch/ (nothing about the program source on the producers web page - strange), but the install gave me a lot of errors, and after a while, I decide to find another "approach". I think you might find this useful. This is my approach for Ubuntu 10.4 LTS. Open your terminal and type:
# sudo apt-get install udev-extras
and add a new udev rule:
# gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1550.rules
In the pop-up window make the rule like this:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"
Save and close. To setup you mobile broadband connection go to System / Preferences / Network Connections, (or type in terminal ~$ nm-connection-editor) select the Mobile Broadband Tab, Add new and follow the assistent. The only changes I made, are the country of the provider, and the provider. (In my case Germany, Fonic) If you have to type in the settings yourself for Fonic, visit [URL] If the device is plugged, it will connect after a few seconds.
I have a little bit of a prediciment with my Mobile Broadband dongle, even though I know I'm in a 3G area (Dongle Supports 3G connection) my internet still loads at the normal GPRS speeds max of 5kb/s. Is there anyway to change the speed of it or do I have to keep with GPRS at the moment?
