today, for my first time, i installed the ubuntu8.04beta, fortunately, i didn't encounter difficulties.
well first impression was , one amazing system, very easy to use, office, pidgin(qq), firefox3 was already set.
now talking about my cdma wireless card, it was pcmcia type and there was no official driver for linux.
luckly that the ubuntu has recognized my card
alex@ubuntu:~$ pccardctl info
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
PRODID_1="Vtion"
PRODID_2="Vtion-V1806 Wireless"
PRODID_3="2.00"
PRODID_4="A0000 "
MANFID=015d,4c45
FUNCID=2
run the order dmesg | grep tty, i learnt that the com was ttyS1
so sudo ln -sf /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem
and sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and edit as following
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Initl = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer Defaults]
Username = CARD
Password = CARD
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0
while here i would like to hilight that the setting of baud was very important.
normally we should set it the cdma speed 230400, but for my card, only 115200 pass initial.
so try more, don't give up easily.
and last step run: sudo wvdial
now u can enjoy surfing.
sometimes it was difficult to connect, maybe due to busy terminal, try more.
