I've got a Sierra AirCard 595U from Sprint that I had put off getting working under Linux on my F8 laptop. Well, finally got it working, and it was quite painless, and speeds are good, too:
So, how did I do it? Really quite simple - all that you need to do is create a file /etc/wvdial.conf with these contents:
So, how did I do it? Really quite simple - all that you need to do is create a file /etc/wvdial.conf with these contents:
[Modem0] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 961600 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ Init3 = ATM0 FlowControl = NOFLOWThen after that, you create the ppp peer called 'sprint' by putting the following in /etc/ppp/peers/sprint:
ttyUSB0 115200 debug noauth defaultroute usepeerdns connect-delay 10000 userAnd finally, put the following in '/etc/ppp/peers/sprint_chat':@sprintpcs.com show-password crtscts lock lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-echo-interval 65535 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/sprint_chat'
'' 'AT' 'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0' 'OK' 'ATE0V1' 'OK' 'ATS7=60' 'OK' 'ATDT#777'After that's done, you can type 'pppd connect sprint', and you'll have a connection!
