[ind-pc_student]

what can i do to resolve these issues

issue 1 detects 3g modem but no available connection and after refresh the connect button is still grayed out


issue 2 when on free wifi still refuses to connect it fails to connect wifi for no reason

any .iso i should be downloading for up date or proper install

internet only on windows, on mageia none of my devices work for no good reason.

any tutorials out there to help me


thank you in advance for any help you may provide

As i look at your problem right now i think, what can i guess from this.

He has a 3g modem, but i canot guess what one it is.

From his suggestion there are other means so he may have a on board nic.

Agian i have no idea which one.

And since he has not listed it here, i also dont know what kind of a computer it is, although i can probably guess hes a student so it maybe a laptop.

But the make eludes me, even without the out put of any linux status messages, i could have a stab at a guess with that info, but with only the knowlage this is a laptop with one of the many available 3g devices im completly lost.

To help us open a command shell or terminal and su -

Enter the root password you set it up with.

Run the following commands and capture them to a file.

Lsusb >> filename.txt

Lspci ditto

Ethtool -i eth0
Repeat eth1
Repeat wlan0

Dmidecode

All with redirects to files.

Now copy these to a fat usb device and then open in windows or another linux and post here.

complete specs sorry was desperate update

i use mageia linux 2.0 x86_64.iso dvd kde desktop by default
still not working at home
modem 3g is the huawei e173 -- current problem the modem is detected at start up of network center however when refreshed it does not make available the connect button which remains grayed out does not ask for the network pin code, not even reboots/logouts will solve this issue and pressing the refresh button does nothing. [stuck]


sorry every one the wi-fi decided to start working by itself making me look silly as usuall.
[removed for reasons mentioned above]

still have the 3g issue for now

[wintpe]

I would go through the 3g setup in network center from the start.

Just like you setup wifi or any other network eqipment but choose 3g

And the choose your carrier etc.

I had one of the similar hauwei modems from vodaphone.

It used to work fine under mandriva 2010 but ive never been able to get it to work under mga1

Thats not to say it wont, now, but at the time the dialer codes were not right.

You sometimes have to play with the start scripts if you 3g operator codes are setup wrong.

Like old modems, you prob to young to remember them, 3g modems use a dialer script not unlike expect language to w
Program them via a serial comm port over usb.

This scipt is usualy the problem, and cant remember now but down under /etc somewere

I use find space dot to list the tree to find files im not sure where they exist, there will be a load of dialer scripts

Down there as part of pppd to protocol used to talk tcpip over serial one you have used the wizard to set it up if it does not work first time.

If you run ps -ef as you hit the connect button you will see what is being run, and that will lead you to the underlying ppp command and chat scripts

Ps sorry about some of the typos im using my tab and editings a bit painfull
