Hello guys can anybody help with this? I have a PCMCIA GPRS Modem from Billionton, which i use to browse with my Glo sim card in Windows. I need a linux driver for it, because it seems not to be recognized.
I am using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 on a Toshiba Tecra TE2300 laptop.

@3d hunter how did u go about burning it? @Gridlock did u run sudo wvdialconf and it said modem not found ? Adubi i never forget your case those new cards are a bit weird so they give a little though time to crack

Esquire this is for u
Bluetooth GPRS Dialup on Feisty Fawn
Stuff involved: Bluez-gnome, gnome-bluetooth, gnome-ppp with all their dependencies. Sony Ericsson K618i Billionton Bluetooth dongle This is how i did it: Install Bluez-gnome, gnome-bluetooth and gnome-ppp Reboot Plug the dongle to the PC, BT logo will show up on top right of the PC screen. Right click it and set to "visible and connectable blah blah" and close. Turn on bluetooth on SE K618i, search for new device (in my device menu). Add it and make up some numeric code, push ok. The PC will pop a question give it the same code. Click ok and they will be paired. Find out the MAC Address of the phone, in the terminal type "hcitool scan". I get 00:1B:59:11:13:53 as the MAC Address of the cell phone. Find out the the Dial-up networking protocol descriptor in the phone by entering sdptool browse 00:1B:59:11:13:53 in the terminal. I found that it is on channel 2. Edit the rfcomm configuration. Enter in terminal: sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf Make the necessary edit on rfcomm0, set bind to yes, change the MAC address and the channel, remove the #, save. Bind to rfcomm0: in the terminal enter: sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 Load gnome-ppp, insert username, pass and dial number from ISP. click setup and put /dev/rfcomm0 as the device. Connect. Connected, but always get disconnected after about 2 seconds? Maybe it is the first time for your Feisty to connect via dialup. Go to system > administration > network. Click properties for the modem. Tick "enable this connection, Insert dial number, user and pass, set the modem to /dev/rfcomm0 and try it again.

@Grid is your card also a bluetooth device ? I need more info cause all am seeing is justa dongle and not a gprs card

@ adewaleafolabi i used nero to burn it and i made sure that it is on the root directory of the dvd. is their any other way i could have done it?
which of the 2 files runs the boot program?
|
|
|
|
|
|
adewaleafolabi (m)
|
u're making a mistake somewhere cause its an iso and its supposed to burn it to the dvd its a single iso when properly burnt then you can see the other files. post a screen shot
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gridlock (m)
|
No, my card is a GPRS Modem: it has a slot where you put the sim card is so u don't need to connect it to any phone. My prob is, when the card is inserted a driver is supposed to be loaded and a file ttyS0 created in /dev, but it doesnt! It just tells me "pcmcia card inserted" in dmesg, nothing else.
See images below

this is what i have on the dvd
|
|
|
|
|
|
adewaleafolabi (m)
|
u were suppossed to burn only the iso not the rest of the files just the ubuntu christmas. All those other files are just stuff that u can try out later after you've installed ubuntu eg themes games etc. Burn the iso alone and not the other files. okay
|
|
|
|
|
|
3d_hunter (m)

ok, i will try it this night

okay what percentage did it stop or where did it stop ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
adewaleafolabi (m)

try k3b but you should choose where it should copy d iso to. Also u can try brasero also and make sure u choose iso as the format. for a dock try simdock its on source forge and has a deb there
