Hi.

Don't use kpp or draknet, it never worked with such sticks here...

Use the networkmanager settings.
In a terminal, type:

Code: Select all

nm-connection-editor

and select the Mobile Broadband Tab, add new and follow the assistant.
Don't forget the appropriate APN

Normally this should work, as the stick is already recognized as a modem (so you don't need a separate udev-rule)

If this does not work, you can go the hard way.
Have a look here:

Now it's working kppp i needed to add manualy nameserver informations to kppp and now it is working like a dream.

I just turned firewall back to on and connection is lost again,it is releated to shorewall or itables or both,do i need to open bug report to bugzilla because it is releated to firewall packages. ???

I just cheked from mandi that there was section nameserver to allow it connect to nameserver that's solved it again now connection works with firewall too.
