Hi, I've been trying to get my Telstra elite 3G dongle, using the sakis3g wireless connection software, to work on my Puppy Lucid 5.28.004 OS, albeit unsuccessfully. It tries to connect and I got to a point where I'm shown a display box, but unfortunately it disappears, if anything is clicked. I don...

Acer 5220 Laptop. Huwae E1762 modem Optus Carrier Lupu-510 (Lucid Puppy) Modem recognised on desktop as SR1 whether hot plugged or inserted at boot up. No internet connection established prior to testing. Typed in terminal: modem-stats -c "ATZ" /dev/ttyUSB0 and then substituted USB1, 2 and...

Hi All, Wary 098 testing. Puppy Package Manager is not working. Preinstall box opens OK. Click Install. download box opens with choice of location. Tried them all. Click Download packages. The yellow download box opens but the cursor stops on the line Resolving.................... Then times out and...

Just downloaded Wary 098 and running from CD. I'm just testing this latest beta primarily looking at the Internet connections, using a 3G gprs modem stick. I have had difficulty with other Puppy versions, as seen in my other posts. These are my observations from a user's perspective, not a technical...

Thanks Muggins, You gave me the clue to determine where I was going wrong. Perhaps the description "Phone Number" should be altered to avoid this trap. My ISP uses a phone number as the User Name and in my setup the Phone Number is the Authentication/Access number, which is also provide by...

I hope this small tutorial will assist anyone having trouble with connection issues on their 3G modems. I have tried Wary90, Quirky 1.2, Lupu 510, Lucid 008 and Luma 002. The first 3 work fine but Lucid can't disconnect and Luma 002 cannot detect a modem. The steps I used to connect to the Internet ...

SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! SUCCESS!! CONNECTED AND WORKING!!!!!!!! Apologies for my elation! After hours and hours and hours of frustration to say nothing about the kind responses and help everyone has provided, I have a working connection. I'll now try this several times and hopefully with a few Puppy dis...

Hi rerwin, Thanks. Please do not take offense. I certainly appreciate the hard work that goes into developing this stuff, so my last thought is to trip over what you have done. I'm just looking at it from a dumb user's perspective and going through the options as provided. My difficulties are what t...

Hi muggins, My provider is Exetel who use the Optus network. I feel you're going to suggest I make the mods you refer to, so with all due respect could you guide me through the amendments you suggest. Just preempting more confusion. Up to date I have been concentrating on the GPRS section of the Pup...

Hi muggins. Agree! In Mint, the setup recognises all the major oz ISP's. It is simply a matter of selecting one, entering a password and it connects immediately. No fuss, no bother, good speeds, but in Puppy ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! In Wary5, at last, the setup detects a modem as /dev/ttyUSB0. I enter my det...

Update: Tried Lupu 002 as I had it to hand. The only device detected is /dev/ttyS0. Changing to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 results in error message of "no such device". Note, the GPRS dot remains fixed in this version whereas it reverts back to GnomePPP in Fluppy. Also, once I set up the gprs via th...

Hi potong and the other forum members. I'm wading through your comments and attempting to digest them. Thank you! I do not get the last two lines showing the primary and secondary addresses. That's obviously why I can't browse the net. However, I have disconnected and started over but get the same r...

Hi potong, Yes! Message on command line: /usb/sbin/pppd: in file /etc/ppp/peers/gprsmm: unrecognized option /dev/ttyUSB2 Exit status is 0 DISCONNECTED A clue! When I use pgrs-connect (I assume that is the window that opens when I click the connect icon), and put a dot in GPRS connect under the Deskt...

I've still got the pgrs box open showing I have a connection, but if I right click the connect icon on the desktop, the internet connection wizard has a dot in the GnomePPP section and not in the GPRS Connect where I put it. Also, is CTRL-C the only way to disconnect. Maybe the Connect icon should c...

Hi potong, You have been very helpful. This is where I'm at. Partial success so far. These are the only devices found when using probe. /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/USB/ttyUSB0. What has confused me so far is the wording on the internet connection wizard. The right hand side is headed Desktop/tray with a n...

Hope returns! Fluppy is indeed my kind of pup. However still no 3G connection. My system has found two devices /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/USB/ttyUSB0. Both of these must be my dongle as they disappear if I remove the dongle. I don't know which one is correct, but neither work. My dongle also has a 32Mb s...

Well, very disappointing! Must be just too darn hard! Just for interest, tried Mint, Peppermint and PCLinuxOS and using NetworkManager and after choosing the appropriate APN and password, connected to 3G network without a hitch. Simple interface that does not confuse the user! Now why can't Puppy do...

Hi All, I've been trying most of the Puppy Linux versions for some time now. The size and included software suits what I use my computer for. Web browsing, Skype, Email and photo manipulation. However, I'm defeated every time, by the inability to connect my Wireless dongle using the Optus 3g network...

Thanks for that. However, the patch is the work of dejan555 which I found by searching the net. May help others with a similar problem.
Cheers

Great.
Made a mirror as the LupQ optional package.

Hi, Partly solved but beaten! Found pgprs-setup-patch.pet file on the net and installed. Voilla! Can now access the gprs setup by clicking on the icon in network setup wizard. However, I cannot now disconnect from my wireless router by clicking on the disconnect button on the taskbar. Nothing happen...
