Hi
I have problem with my wireless GSM connection , my notebook has built-in Toshiba (in fact Ericsson) F5521gw wireless modem , it is detected and usable by default without installing additional software.
Problem is that I can connect flawlessly only once after switching on notebook - if I disconnect manually I’m not able to connect again, i have to reboot my computer or another solution which allows me to reconnect is closing and opening lid (putting notebook in suspended state)
I’m using Toshiba Tecra r850, openSUSE 11.4 x64 on Gnome 2 DE, using NetworkManager and nm-applet
/var/log/messages after using disconnect from nm-applet:
after disconnection when I’m trying to connect no more messages/errors appears, applet shows notify “Disconnected” immediately after clicking ‘connect’ button.
I hope that someone can help me to resolve this issue.
Regards:)
I have the same problem as you.
My laptop is ASUS Z99Dc, It can’t reconnect after reboot wifi route and system sleep.
I am very worried for this problem.
Please help us !
With WiFi or ethernet, I can usually get reconnected by unselecting the “enable networking”, waiting for a minute, then selecting “enable networking” again. For WiFi, the enable wireless also works.
I don’t have a gsm card, but I would guess that there is something similar.
Do you have the same hardware device? If not, it is always wise to start your own thread, no matter how similar the symptoms.
It is likely that your device (despite working in NM) is not yet fully reverse-engineered. I’ve seen problems like yours, with GSM devices and particular versions of openSUSE (and other distros), that then work nicely in the next version with newer kernel, NM etc.
@nrickert thanks for response, I tried to use your advices but unfortunately none of these work :

After this I’m still not able to reconnect - i guess that problem may be solved by disabling and enabling again gsm card (closing lid and reboot) but there is no physical switch on the case - do you know command which allow me to disable device?

The module is accompanied by a prov-
en software development kit (SDK). The
SDK enables third party developers to
easily design own applications such as
connections managers. Drivers for the
F5521gw are part of the Linux kernel
and will function out of the box.

seems that there shouldn’t be this kind of problems, but it looks like grim reality is different.
