a colleague got an enfora quad-band gprs data card, so naturally I thought I'd test it for Z compatibility!

first had to hack /etc/pcmcia/serial.conf to make it recognised, add this:
CODE
card "Enfora GSM0110"
 version "Enfora", "GSM0110", ""
 manfid 0x01e1, 0x0300
 bind "serial_cs"


the card is a type2 - a tight fit!

using minicom, I found that the modem (/dev/ttyS3) was unresponsive until I set the serial speed to 115200 - odd, 'cos my audiovox doesn't care about serial speed.

I was then able to do the CGDCONT/*99# dial sequence and see the ppp jumble.

When I then tried to use a ppp dialup script for gprs which works with audiovox, when using the enfora it just hangs.

Anyone any clue before I go for the full custom ppp scripts with loadsa debug?

I did add the "debug debug debug" to the /etc/ppp/peers/DIALUPnnnnnn file, tried "cardctl resume ; pppd call DIALUPnnnn" but didn't get any debug output. Hmmm.


p.s. does anyone else find that a gprs modem card has a very bad effect on USB networking - it either hangs or locks up entirely?

p.p.s. the SIM card I am using works perfectly with the audiovox rtm8000 card

The Qtopia applet may be attempting to use the wrong tty.

Try seeing how many different tty's are shown when you do 'ps ax'.

I'm on the old sl5500 so don't know how the Qt applet is set up on the Cxxx's but with qtopia 1.5.0, it sometimes tried to use ttyS0 even though my modem is on ttyS3.

I had to tweak a couple of the basic kernel scripts...will post more later if this idea sounds worth pursuing.

I don't think it's using the wrong tty, as
* it works with audiovox
* the light on the enfora card comes on and does most of the right things
* when I do "ps -ef" I can see that the pppd dialler is running

I don't have the enfora card to play with, it went back to owner, and sold to someone on this forum a week or so ago... no doubt the new owner can come and tell us how he gets on!
