3 !! Modules
4
5 On older systems you may need to manually set some module parameters etc. This doesn't seem to have been necessary since Ubuntu Dapper Drake at least, possibly earlier.
6
7 * Insert your wireless card and be sure that your computer recognizes it as a USB device. Look in dmesg for it. Once you have verified that it is recognized by your system, proceed to step 2.
8
9 * Issue the following commands (you will need to sudo or su to do this)
10
11 <verbatim>
12 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x0112
13 # mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
14 </verbatim>

16 !! PPP Scripts
17
18 For PPP to work, you'll need to create two files:
19
20 The first is /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo:
21 <verbatim>
22 lcp-echo-interval 0
23 ttyUSB0
24 115200
25 debug
26 noauth
27 defaultroute
28 usepeerdns
29 user USERNAME
30 show-password
31 crtscts
32 lock
33 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/chatscripts/1xevdo'
34 </verbatim>
35
36 The second is /etc/chatscripts/1xevdo
37 <verbatim>
38 '' 'AT'
39 'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0'
40 'OK' 'ATE0V1'
41 'OK' 'ATS7=60'
42 'OK' 'ATDT#777'
43 </verbatim>
44
45 You'll also need to stick your username and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. Make sure to update USERNAME in /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo as well.
46
47 In NZ, the username is mobile@jamamobile and the password is telecom. This will be different for other networks!
48 <verbatim>
49 echo "mobile@jamamobile * telecom * >> /etc/ppp/pap-secrets"
50 </verbatim>
