Would it be called something else? There is no /etc/wvdial.conf file on my system. Since I was firing it off with kpp, here is the config file (I'm making a huge guess here): /mycomputer/.kde/share/config/kppprc pppdArguments= [Account0] AccountingEnabled=0 AccountingFile= Authentication=4 AutoDNS=1 AutoName=0 BeforeConnect= BeforeDisconnect= CallbackPhone= CallbackType=0 Command= DNS= DefaultRoute=1 DisconnectCommand= Domain= ExDNSDisabled=0 Gateway=0.0.0.0 IPAddr=0.0.0.0 Name=Sprint Password=vzw Phonenumber=#777 ScriptArguments= ScriptCommands= StorePassword=1 SubnetMask=0.0.0.0 Username=auburn@xxxxxxxxxx VolumeAccountingEnabled=0 pppdArguments= [General] DefaultAccount=Sprint DefaultModem=Sprint NumberOfAccounts=1 NumberOfModems=1 PPPDebug=0 ShowLogWindow=1 [Graph] Background=255,255,255 Enabled=true InBytes=0,0,255 OutBytes=255,0,0 Text=0,0,0 [Modem0] BusyWait=0 Device=/dev/ttyUSB0 Enter=CR FlowControl=Hardware [CRTSCTS] Name=Sprint Speed=230400 Timeout=60 UseLockFile=1 Volume=1 WaitForDialTone=1 [WindowPosition] WindowPositionConWinX=351 WindowPositionConWinY=328 WindowPositionStatWinX=326 WindowPositionStatWinY=175 Arch -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Phil Meyer Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 4:43 PM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: Sprint Novatel Ovation U720 USB phone very slow on Fedora Arch Willingham wrote: > I am trying to install a Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem (Novatel Ovation U720) cellular USB phone on a Dell laptop running FC7 test4.

I first made sure it worked under XP. It does and it extremely fast. I then did the install on FC7. After issuing "/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0×1410 product=0×2110". Once that was done, the modem appeared as /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 (someone said they think the latter is a management and diagnostic interface; the former is used for the PPP connection). I was then able to use KPPP to set up a dialer connection. I started the dialer and bam it connected.

When I click on a website, it takes 30 to 90 seconds to respond. Once it actually starts pulling data, it seems a little quicker but then bogs down when trying to go to the next website. I manually changed the "serial" bit rate in the configuration files to the same way it was set in XP (230400 bps) but that did not help. > > In XP, the IP is set as follows: > > Connected to NDIS: > Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport > GUID: TRUCK4FC-E323-407D-B802-9D7F4412345 > MAC Address: 00-14-3F-F5-1F-CB > Type: Ethernet Adapter > IPAddresses: 0.0.0.0 > Gateway Addresses: > DHCP Enabled. > Lease Obtained Sun Aug 06 23:28:58 2006 > Lease Expires Sun Aug 06 23:28:58 2006 > DHCP Server Addresses: 192.168.1.1 > WINS Disabled. > > > WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface > GUID: 1234FAEE-F7D6-49F8-A71E-E9666BB54321 > MAC Address: 00-53-45-00-00-00 > Type: PPP Adapter > IPAddresses: YY.243.236.BB > Gateway Addresses: YY.243.236.BB > DHCP Disabled. > WINS Disabled. > > Does anyone have any ideas? > > Arch > > That is an IPV6 address. Can we see your: /etc/wvdial.conf ? It is usually a matter of the 'correct' initialize/dial strings. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
