First, let me say that I actually managed to get GPRS up and running with the provided instructions. However, not at the first attempt and generally only one in ten times.
There are two kinds of errors I seem to get:
But every ten or so attempts the whole thing works :-)
I'd be quite happy if anyone could shed some light on this.
Since OM2008.9 (Maybe OM2008.8) we should not have anymore the gsmd installed.
Maybe we need to shutdown Qtopia phone stack.
Here is a working script to start the pppd connection script :
#!/bin/bash if test -f /etc/init.d/gsmd; then /etc/init.d/gsmd stop fi echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttySAC0 stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts pppd call gprs
Works using Option 3: Without GSM multiplexing and without a GUI I'm in NZ on vodafone, YMMV. Significantly.
Used suggested /etc/ppp/peers/gprs file
Since Vodafone NZ has no password, used passworless /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file as suggested
Used gprs-connect-chat, version 1 file, changed internet to live.vodafone.com and phone number to whats suggested- probably a good idea to put stuff to be replaced with REPLACEWITHPHONENUMBER and REPLACEWITHAPN or similar, possibly even in bold. People see that better.
I chmod +x'd the gprs-connect-chat file, symlinked /etc/ppp/peers/gprs to /etc/ppp/peers/provider:
ln -s /etc/ppp/peers/gprs /etc/ppp/peers/provider
And pon worked like a charm. poff works, too.
The interesting bit here is that
