Details
I have an Option Globetrotter Max 7.2 PCMCIA 3g card which
uses the 'hso' kernel module. It can operate in ether
dial-up (ppp) or network interface mode.
Connecting to the 3G network using the network interface mode seems to be quite simple. One must first send a few AT commands to the card to set the APN, initialize connection and receive the IP address and DNS server address. At this point all that needs to be done is to bring up the hs0 interface with ifconfig and modify resolv.conf accordingly. Please see the attached files with a more detailed explanation and a POC bash script implementing this. It would be great to see this supported in netcfg. |
