der chinesische Stick wird nicht erkannt,
und man beginnt mit der Suche, welcher Stick nun mit Ubuntu funktionstuechtig ist.
manche habens es immerhin geschafft, eine Konfiguration mit dem DTAC aircard stick zum Laufen zu bringen.

Just want to report that the "DTAC aircard life is colorful colorful" work fine on GNU/Linux
(it should... like all other "aircards", it's all built on "standards"... well... if MSCHAPv2 can be called standard...)
On the box it says: System requirements: Windows 2k/XP/Vista/7 ans MacOS 10.4-5-6.
Obviously they have no clue what they are talking about. DTAC most likely have larger resources than I do, still they are unable to understand what the system requirements really are. Some kind of defect??! Now someone say that they are not unable, they just don't do it... That would be worse, it can't be that bad.
I use it on Kubuntu Karmic with the network manager and here is what I did:
Before I got it to work I had to install
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp pptp-linux resolvconf
and then restart the networkmanager (or reboot). Now you have the MSCHAPv2 protocol plus some other stuff.
For some reason I never received any DNS so I have to config this manually. (that's the reason for the resolvconf installation above)
sudo nano /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
insert this line:
supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4;
or if you don't like googles DNS, here are the openDNS
supersede domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;
plug in the usb aircard. This would open a dialog (at least on Ubuntu) and you select whatever makes sense. If there is no dialog automatically opening...
In Kubuntu there is a message saying a device is plugged in. Click on the up-arrow on the right side. (do not open it as a usb-drive)
Right click the knetwork manager and choose "Manage connections" (this is on Kubuntu 9.10 and KDE4)
Under the tab mobile broadband, create a new one.
Connection name (up to you)
phone number: *99#
APN: http://www.dtac.co.th" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
no username
no password
type: any
no pin
no puk
on the ppp tab the following is checked, all others are unchecked:
authenication
MSCHAPv2
EAP
stateful MPPE (greyed out)
allow BSD compression
Allow Deflate compression
save, apply, ok, etc...
You should now have an icon in the knetwork manager, click it and it should connect.
If it doesn't, blame me, not DTAC. I probably forgot to tell you something important. Take a look in the syslog first to get a hint... google it.
And please write your experiences, finding and solutions here, so others can find it too.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with CAT CDMA Novatel / Merlin X720 express card modem.
Works out of the box. No drivers to download, It detected the device as soon as it was plugged in and all I had to do was input my username and password.
CAT CDMA is significantly faster than any Edge or GPRS currently available until 3G comes along.
