By the way, the same thing happens with my Evo N160 laptop...

Ahh, how didn't I think of that before <smacks self>. Anyway, the TROUBLESHOOTING file was very helpful - apparently I wasn't supposed to compile usb support into the kernel, but leave it as a module.

Hmm, Apparently something is not the same as with the modems that are imported
to Israel by Rotal. I'll check it this week.
Actually, the TROUBLESHOOTING file talks about that too. I'm supposed to either unload all the modules before rebooting or unplug the modem and then plug it back in. I'll choose the latter for now :-)


Anyway, the good (great?) news is that I managed to get connected. The bad news is that after about a minute, the connection died. It didn't say it died (the small ppp monitor next to the CPU monitor continued to be displayed), nothing was printed to /var/log/messages, but I couldn't connect anywhere anymore, couldn't ping anything and couldn't resolve any hostnames. I tried it again several times, with the same result.


Almost there,
Alexander Maryanovsky.

P.S. Wish me luck on my Entomology quiz - it ain't no kernel hacking you know :-)

1. No, it's not my script (startmodem is a script) and it was written by the
french team. I did few small fixes there.

2. Seems like you missed some modules to compile. Please look at the
TROUBLESHOOTING document which is in the tar.gz file.
