OS: Linux Handset: Z010 Cable: Direct USB If your current version of Linux has the ACM (Abstract Control Model) driver compiled into it, then you're ready to start. If it has the driver built as a module (most of the Linux distributions use this method), then you'll have to enable the driver with the following command: #modprobe acm (for 2.4.x linux kernels) #modprobe cdc-acm (for 2.6.x linux kernels) Now that you've got the driver loaded, you need to set up the device node (in /dev) for the modem. You can use up to 32 modems with this driver, but most people will only need to configure one. To set up a modem, use the following command: Test if it is already in system: #ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 Create device nod : #mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0 Download linux-evdo.tar.gz Copy the files from archive (linux-evdo folder) to your linux /etc/ppp. source files: linux-evdo/chap-secrets linux-evdo/gtran linux-evdo/dialevdo.sh linux-evdo/ppp-down.sh Note: overwrite the files (you may want to make a backup of the old files) To bring the PPP connection up: go to /etc/ppp folder and run #./dialevdo For DNS resolution : #mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.old #ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf For disconnect : go to /etc/ppp folder and run #./ppp-down.sh
