Hopefully I am looking for some suggestions as currently I am quite
confused on this.
I have managed to get a Linux box configured for NBN via satellite,
unfortunately its in no way reliable. I can get connected but I have to
run pppoeconf after every start to get the ethernet connection up to the
satellite modem. Now it has worked but it drops out on a regular basis
and after it drops out it will often not be able to talk to the modem
until one resets the Linux box. I am running the latest update of Debian
7.x. It appears that debian 7.x does not like this set up.
What I am going to do before throwing any kind of major fit is to
purchase a Netcomm NF4V router,these having inbuilt support that does
work (hopefully). This is one of the routers reommended by the ISP
(Harbour net).
Why does it have to be so difficult to get something like this to work,
I have also so had all kinds of problems getting mobile broadband to
work, the actual connecting configuration of the dongle actaully varying
from ISP to ISP, and its NOT clear which one one is supposed to use, And
as usual the ISP' help line knows nothing of Linux.
Comments welcome
Lindsay
