When I run /etc/verizoncard.sh i get errors:FATAL: Module usbserial is in use. It also doesn't work when called from 51-3g-datacards.rules: run_program: exec of program '/etc/verizoncard.sh' failed Thoughts? Andy

It also doesn’t work when called from 51-3g-datacards.rules:
run_program: exec of program ‘/etc/verizoncard.sh’ failed

Thoughts?

I'm hoping to use this to setup an old PC of mine as a "gateway" to the Internet in my home. The only option I have for Internet service in my location is satellite, but I've heard horror stories about them, plus I'd have to sign up for a 1-2yr contract (depending on the deal). Since I'm only renting my house, and I hope to move somewhere that has high-speed Internet eventually, I don't really want to sign a long-term deal with them. I bought the Sierra 875 card, and have it working now with an old WinXP box. But the connection drops approximately "whenever it feels like it" and the recovery process requires that I reboot the box (something about Cingular Communication Manager that won't let it reconnect and re-establish a working Internet connection), so I was thinking that a Linux setup would be more reliable, more recoverable, and (best of all) less susceptable to virus/attacks from the 'net. So I'm curious - what kind of performance do you get through this setup? Great info. I’m hoping to use this to setup an old PC of mine as a “gateway” to the Internet in my home.

I installed it with Suse Linux Enterprise 10, using an Aircard 875 by just changing the vendor and product IDs to match the one on my card. Miguel.
