I would really like to get this to work. This has worked before in a previous install, though it broke when I closed the laptop. It does not work at all in the current install, never did. The Mobile Broadband tab in NetworkManager is inaccessible.

Being qualcomm chipset it uses the qcserial driver.

It would better to read this openSUSE 11.3 - Sierra Wireless USB 305 - no TTY assigned?

#3

The “Mobile Broadband” tab is greyed out and cannot be selected.

Just a thought: Do you have rfkill installed? My HP laptop uses a different chipset {03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface [Integrated Module]}, but I rmember when I first installed 11.3, I needed to enable the WLAN device with rfkill first, before I could configure with network IIRC.

For reference:

 rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN

THeres my rfkill output. Thats all I know.

Ok. I replaced the faulty plasmoid network manager with the Gnome one. Now I have access to the Mobile Broadband and can add connections. However, those connections do not show after being configured.

#7

Ok. So now I have looked into Network Manager as the culprit. Here is some debugging goodness.

ModemManager
SUSE Paste

NetworkManager (Gnome)
SUSE Paste

Try on network manager this technique who I have given, So you can install your 3G mobile broadband.
First go to start menu–>computer–>yast
And then Yast–>network devices–>network settings and disable network card.

#9

I assume you mean the broadband card? I don’t know which one that is in the list. Warning: control with NetworkManager.

#10

Sorry for misunderstanding, No the broadband card I mean your network card.

To do so requires me switching to ifup which does not have mobile broadband support.
