That doesn't look much use for Vodafone UK.

I've never had success with wvdial and use plain pppd from Ubuntu and NetBSD on my EEE PC 900.

Very briefly
options are:
ttyUSB0
115200
crtscts
debug
defaultroute
local
noccp
noipdefault
novj
proxyarp
usepeerdns
user web
password web

My inits for Vodafone contract are:
AT&FE0V1X1&D2&C1S0=0
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
ATDT*99#

for 1GB PAYG dongle replace "internet" with "pp.internet" and APN is different again for current 3GB PAYG.

Sometimes dns isn't set and I have to copy /etc/ppp/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf

I've posted the full scripts to this forum previously

Hi overheat.


It looks like bacupian has beaten me to it, thanks bacupian.

I can confirm these settings as they are the same setting I have on my Ubuntu box (Gutsy gibbon haven't updated in years because its so fast and reliable.)

Have you see the betavine website? you can download a Debian compatible client if you were wanting another way of connecting. As Vodafone don't officially support Linux you may find more support there.

all the best
