Hi there.
I'm trying to setup a gprs connection thru my provicer's usb dongle.

I've managed ( finally ) to get wvdial connecting. So now what? Should I have an ip address now, or is there something missing?

On ifconfig -a i still have only eth0, eth1 and sit0.

Code:
gentoo etc # wvdial zon
--> Ignoring malformed input line: ";ligacao zon"
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: AT+CMEE=2
AT+CMEE=2
OK
--> Sending: AT+CGATT=1
AT+CGATT=1
OK
--> Sending: AT+CPIN?
AT+CPIN?
+CPIN: READY
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99#
CONNECT 3600000
--> Carrier detected.  Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Mon Nov  5 18:41:01 2012
--> Pid of pppd: 1547
--> Using interface ppp0
--> pppd: �[7f]
--> pppd: �[7f]
--> pppd: �[7f]
--> pppd: �[7f]

what now?

EDIT:
So, after a while, ifconfig finally shows ppp0.
I tried using dhcpcd, but strangely it only mentions ipv6 ip's???

After this, ppp0 disappears again.
what's up, here?

Rhiakath,

what does
Code:
emerge net-dialup/ppp -vp
show ?
If the output includes -dhcp, that would be a very bad thing.

That might be it!

Unfortunately, i can't test it now, since i'm not on my desktop. I'm now trying to get this dongle to work on my laptop, and it got even worse. Now i can't even get the ttyUSB to appear.


here's my output.

Nothing there.
I'm thinking maybe some difference in kernel config. is there anything i should be looking for?

Aaaaaand...
you rule.
I rule.
We rule.
Gentoo rules.


As for the first question, you were right. It was dhcp use flag.
As for not appearing on my laptop, i didn't have the necessary modules compiled. :D

Thank you.
