To surf via UMTS with my openSUSE 11.0 Linux, I bought a Fonic Surf Stick. To get it working under Linux, in this example for Germany, do the following steps as root:
- Activate it on http://www.fonic.de.
- Install umtsmon
yast2 -i umtsmon
- attach your USB device Surf Stick
- Start umtsmon, enter your pin, click Connection|Connect.
It works now:
tweedleburg:~ # ping www.heise.de PING www.heise.de (193.99.144.85) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from www.heise.de (193.99.144.85): icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=1158 ms 64 bytes from www.heise.de (193.99.144.85): icmp_seq=2 ttl=245 time=896 ms 64 bytes from www.heise.de (193.99.144.85): icmp_seq=3 ttl=245 time=719 ms ^C --- www.heise.de ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 3 received, 25% packet loss, time 4291ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1890.317/2142.079/2282.493/178.426 ms, pipe 3 tweedleburg:~ # ifconfig [...] ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:10.70.158.184 P-t-P:10.64.64.64 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:266 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:340 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:112893 (110.2 Kb) TX bytes:58689 (57.3 Kb)
You can now surf in
- UMTS
- GPRS
- HSDPA and
- GSM
networks. Umtsmon also supports sending SMS.
