Code:
but it is likely to be a virtual Ethernet NIC. If so, it won't have any PPP settings at all.
That is what it looks like, there was a ppp directory, but nothing in it, ...
A long time ago, I had something happen, and I had no desktop on the Debian system, so
I didn't have the "network manager", GUI, icon, etc,...any way , I needed to establish a connection, in order to try to repair the system, so I used "nmcli", for the command line
interface, for network manager, but I also needed to create a file on the ppp, I had found a example, somewhere, now I don't remember, but I did find the file I made, and when I used "nmcli"
Code:
this worked:
for usb broadband.
nmcli nm wwan on
nmcli con up uuid aed86e75-cb57-41b1-93a0-a493176d23af
Obviously, since OpenBsd does not have/use network manager, or "nmcli", the above
is not of much use, and at first it did not work, until I added this (below) to the PPP settings, or file I made,
if I remember correctly, it is the "mobile_ppp", so anyway, it seems like if I can figure
out where to put and how to "word" script or file, with the same, settings, and what to name the file, for OpenBsd to be able to use it,..
Code:
broadband-ppp.txt
Description='Example PPP mobile connection'
Interface=ttyUSB0
Connection=mobile_ppp
# Use default route provided by the peer (default: true)
DefaultRoute=true
# Use DNS provided by the peer (default: true)
UsePeerDNS=true
# The user and password are not always required
User='webgprs'
Password='webgprs2002'
# The access point name you are connecting to
AccessPointName=internet.itelcel.com
# If your device has a PIN code, set it here. Defaults to 'None'
Pin=None
# Mode can be one of 3Gpref, 3Gonly, GPRSpref, GPRSonly, None
# These only work for Huawei USB modems; all other devices should use None
Mode=3Gpref
I also have this other info, :
Code:
number (to dial) *99#
user:webgprs
APN: internet.itcel.com
MCC:334
MNC:02
authentication protocal: PAP
iterface: GSM (ttyUSB0)
If I remember, it rejected the "script" with the GSM, so that is why the broadband-ppp.txt,
does not have that, also I am not positive of it is USB0 (zero) or USBO (the letter) they both look the same to me, my eyes are not helping me at all, ):
Ok well for now that is about it,
thanks from Garry
