Hi Jochen,

What stick are you using?
i.e. Make and model number?

You can find that out with >lsusb.

Kind regards, Nicholas Herriot.

Hi,

I have a so-called web'n'walk stick. I managed to have it reported not
as a
USB drive, but as a modem by using usb_modeswitch:

    [jwi mcjwi ~]$ hal-find-by-capability --capability=modem
   
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_af0_6971_Serial_Number_if0_seria
l_unknown_0
   
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_af0_6971_Serial_Number_if0_seria
l_unknown_1

I also have created an entry under "Mobile Broadband" using
nm-connection-editor. However, I can't get the stick to do any dial
attempts. A possible reason might be, that nm-tool shows the Ethernet
and
Wireless devices, but not my modem.

Any ideas, what might be wrong?

Thanks,

Jochen
