I have a Tata Indicom VDATA PCMCIA card for internet access when out of office. Is it possible to use this with Fedora core 6? Any pointers please.
I have used the Huawei EC321 data card on FC6.x86_64. Setting it up using wvdial was a breeze. If you want, I can provide you the wvdial settings that I used.
I got it working with wvdial. Also got the modprobe to do it automagically as described in the blog. Just one problem I have a default gateway since I use the laptop at office too. wvdial/pppd does not put in a default route for the new connection. I tried the defaultroute option in the /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial files but no avail. Can u tell me a tric by which I can have the defaultroute inserted when i connect with wvdial and my office route put back when i disconnect?
a simple way could be through a shell script, which takes down the office route, runs wvdial & sets it back when you kill it..
on another note..is there any tool for logging ppp traffic volume?.. since its importatnt to keep a track of how much data transfered, to keep within limits, i know kppp does that.
