Always make sure that the datacard is registered on a network before using wvdial, ppp, chat, kinternet, kppp etc. The easiest way to do that is to use comgtWink

First download comgt to a temporary directory.

As root:
Code:
cd /the/temporary/directory
tar xzf comgtXX.tgz
make
make install


Insert the datacard with SIM.

Type dmesg to find out what device (/dev/XXXXX) has been allocated to the card.

Type:
comgt -d /dev/XXXXX

This will check the status of the card and report it on screen.

For FUSION, FUSION+, GT 3G, GT 3G EDGE, Vodafone 3G etc on most systems:
Code:
comgt -d /dev/ttyUSB0


For GlobeTrotter EDGE and GlobeTrotter Combo EDGE:
Code:
comgt -x -d /dev/ttyS4


If a PIN code is needed comgtwill ask you for it.

Only when comgtreports everything is good do you use wvdial etc.

Tip for 3G Cards
For data cards that have multiple ports (all the 3G cards), you can run comgt on /dev/ttyUSB2 or /dev/noz2. This means for example you can have an active PPP connection on /dev/ttyUSB0 (or/dev/noz0) and still get signal stength reports.

Hi Paul and thank you for your help,

I tried to install comgt 0.32, so i run after unpacking:

code:

root@localhost#make
make: rien à faire pour

What does it mean??

If i continue with "make install", all is ok, but i can't use the comgt command in root, cos i get the message:

#bash: comgt: command not found (Is it normal??)

comgt command works only in user mode konsole, but:

gauchais@localhost#comgt -d/dev/noz0
#can't open device /dev/noz0

And i got the same message trying with all devices..why??
