I have the laptop here at home for the weekend and still have trouble getting the Sierra aircard 312U modem to work.<br>
<br>
Following instruction on the Sierra site: <a href="http://www.sierrawireless.com/Support/SupportCenter.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.sierrawireless.com/<u></u>Support/SupportCenter.aspx</a><br>
<br>
-Have installed the kernel module provided by Sierra for the latest kernel.<br>
-modinfo sierra shows the correct version<br>
<br>
-modinfo-sierra_net shows that ist's installed in /lib/modules/x/x/x/x/x/x/<u></u>sierra_net.ko<br>
<br>
-ls /dev/ttyUSB* shows /dev/ttyUSB0 to3<br>
<br>
ifconfig does not show the usb,<br>
it only has etho, lo and wlan0 so now I'm stuck as to where to go from here.<br>
<br>
Can someone please advise<br>
thanks in advance<span><font color="#888888"><br>

Like I mentioned previously, every time I've used my phone as a modem, I just use a dialer like KPPP and dial #777 as the access number. I use Sprint though, so the settings that you would use are probably different.</div>

<div><br></div><div>It looks like Telstra uses *99# as its access number and telstra.internet as its apn which some networks require. </div><div><br></div><div>What version of Fedora/Linux are you running? I have a Fedora 15 box here with a HUWEI modem (no sim card though), and it seems pretty straight-forward to get it to connect. In Network Connections, there is a Mobile Broadband tab. If you click Add, it launches a wizard to add a new connection. It will first ask you which modem/connection device to use, the next screen will prompt you for the region, the next screen will prompt you for a carrier, or you can enter one manually. The final screen shows you all 3 selections that you just made. When you click apply, it will prompt you to enter a connection name, and update the Number, username, and password.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When you have that done, you just select the connection from Network Manager to connect. With the hardware I have on hand here, I can see that the modem is attempting to connect to the network, but as I don't have a SIM card in this modem (it is for international travel), it doesn't actually connect.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope this is helpful.</div>
