Ubuntu & Linpus 3G with AT&T

EDIT: I figured it out with help... if anyone is interested, let me know.

So I've got a 3G AA1 now. Can't get the AT&T 3G going. See a lot of euro help, what is nobody from the USA using a 3G AA1 in Linux? Thanks ahead of time & yes, I searched 1st so if I missed something, SORRY!

Trying to follow the instructions here: http://sierrawireless.custhelp.com/app/ ... l/a_id/500

UPDATE: kppp Directions above tell you, "configure", then "new". All attempt to communicate with the modem don't work. I ran through EVERY setting.

pppd instructions:
root@AcerAspireOne:/etc/ppp/peers# pppd call gsm
pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/gsm: unrecognized option '/dev/ttyUSB0'

I only have Windows 3G, but you have cycled the wifi switch to turn the 3G card on and off, Yes?

 

Yes I have toggled the switch. I too have the XP ver too & it's working in XP. I was doing so well with Linux until now

 

One reply in this thread said he had 3g working on XP. How? I keep getting error 633?? Any idea what I need to do?

 

I've been hassling with the Qualcomm 9212 internal 3G modem while using Ubuntu since April '09.
I have the AA1 ZG5 (1GB, 160GB hdd) that comes pre-loaded with WinXP, & the first thing I did was install UNR 9.04, but was dismayed to discover the Qualcomm modem was unrecognized by Ubuntu.
I tried all sorts of suggestions, to no avail. I gave up for awhile, until I bought a magazine called "Linux Identity" which contained DVD's of a few flavors of Ubuntu, & subsequently installed Xubuntu after successfully connecting via my tethered mobile, which had previously eluded me in all other Ubuntu installations...
At least I can follow tutorials more easily with web connectivity in Xubuntu. The Windoze shuffle is a real pain...

The closest I've been to getting the internal modem working in linux is with kuki: http://kuki.me/ but still have been unable to connect via the built in 3G modem...
I haven't tried the latest release yet, but I do believe kuki linux is worth a try.
...
Currently using Xubuntu (jaunty) tethered to my mobile on at&t.
Am quite pleased with my current Xubuntu installation, but am anxiously awaiting some resolution to the Qualcomm 9212 GOBI chipset 3G internal modem under *buntu issue.
