Mobile Broadband 3G

[NicePics13]

If I boot Salix with my usb 3G dongle plugged in I won't be able to connect using pppd/wvdial (but strangely enough kppp always works) until I pull it out & back in - I guess it has to do with the dongle switching between mass storage and serial mode, HAL disconnects the modem ports again and again. The solution would be one of these:

• Don't boot with the modem plugged in
• Use kppp to dial, it seems to ignore what mode the modem is in
• Install usbmodeswitch and manually toggle modem
• Add HAL rule to leave modem alone

Solved. "secret" was
#rm /etc/resolv.conf
#ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
with vwdial or sakis3g it works.
Thanks to "gapan" post!
