Very slow-starting EVDO modem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As I've previously mentioned, I am trying to get a Novatel EVDO modem to work
consistently on a particular laptop.  Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't.

After much experimentation I have discovered that it apparently takes
about five minutes for the machine to realize that it has a modem, after which
it works.

See this from /var/log/messages on one of my computers:

As you can see, it took six minutes before the device somehow reset itself and
the machine realized that it had a modem attached.

What's going on here?
