Internet with Nokia mobile phone. How to set up Linpus?

Hi all!

I bought AAO1 Linpus. I have Nokia 6233 mobile phone + usb. How to set up Linpus for using Nokia as a modem? I am newbie in Linux.

Thank you!

 

Hi
The good question is does the AAO detect your phone as a modem device. If so, it should appear in the NetworkManager... automatically. If not, it will be quite hard to function unless there is a driver for Linpus from the phone manufacturer. Usually they provide a windows only driver. Have you checked with your phone manufacturer website?

Not sure if this applies in your situation:

Ok! Thank you, I`ll try this. If not work I tell u.

 

as indicated in post http://wosten.blogspot.com/2008/08/usb-modemnokia-n95-with-acer-aspire-one.html I did steps 1 & 2. Step 3 - installing gnome-ppp not working because I dont have any internet connection (on AAO1). So i googled GNOME-PPP on another PC and tried to install it manually (following INSTALL). It says that there is no C compiler. What to do? Note, I dont have any internet connection on AAO1, so I cant install anything through it. Please help!

 

When I type wwdialconf in terminal it says NO MODEM WAS DETECTED (modem WAS connected to AAO1).

 

You should look at the last lines of the output of the command

dmesg

in a terminal, just after plugging the phone in.

( The sequence is: usb-device tells it's number, system loads module for this number, module creates nodes in /dev/...,
software can use nodes. )

 

Well, it detected my Nokia modem!!!

Now I cant edit my wvdial.conf! It says "cant open file to write". I want to change a pass, usename and initstring. How can I edit this file? And is there any graphic utility to use modem? Gnome-ppp dosnt work at my AAO1, probably becuase absence some packeges. So, NOW it is more important for me to EDIT wvdialconf.

If I type wvdial in terminal (root!) it dials a number but in view of incorrect init string it cant connect to internet. So how to edit wvdial.conf in Linpus???

 

As normal user:

sudo mousepad /etc/wvdial.conf

As root, leave out the 'sudo'.

 

:shock: Hey! Just the other way round! SUDO for root, isn`t it??

 

If you are root already, then you don't need the sudo.

'sudo' is a command to let a normal user do something 'as root'.

....Confusion say.....
