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?
This is what I used to do with my laptop. This was Debian, around a year ago. Default route will use eth0 on satrtup.
# route del default
$ wvdial
This will do the job. The default route will again come up whe you reboot. Now if you want to connect using eth0 w/o rebooting ..
# route add -net default dev eth0

I have tried the USB card of Reliance and it got detected straight away with wvdial and is working fine. The wvdial.conf file that is working for me is :
[Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 230400 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Dial Command = ATDT Phone = #777 Username = YOUR PHONE NUMBER Password = YOUR PHONE NUMBER Stupid Mode = 1 #Add this lines in /etc/resolv.conf = #nameserver 202.138.103.100 = #nameserver 202.138.96.2 = #nameserver 202.138.103.100 = ISDN = 0 Modem Type = Analog Modem
