From my experience, if you intend to manually connect and disconnect the 3G/4G modem, you will need the packages: ppp, wvdial. If you like to use a GUI, gnome-ppp is good. Don’t forget to run it using sudo. 😊 A little research on the internet showed that these are the needed modules: $ lsmod | grep sierra sierra_net 18936 0 usbnet 44000 3 sierra_net,cdc_mbim,cdc_ncm sierra 19537 0 usbserial 45363 1 sierra My advice - start the computer using Ubuntu, insert the broadband stick, use ‘lsusb -v’ and ‘lsmod’ to find out which modules you need, then make sure you compile the kernel and include the support for them (make them as modules, it will work), and of course install the kernel in CRUX and boot from it. PPP might not work right away, because the package lacks two crucial files to update the resolv.conf file for the DNS resolving. I think I have them somewhere, but I’ll have to search for them. Good luck with setting up the broadband modem. 😊 Rex On 30.1.2015 19:00, Bernd Eggink wrote:

Hi,

I would like to set up a mobile broadband connection on my new Toshiba notebook. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information how to do this. The device is, according to lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1199:9063 Sierra Wireless, Inc.

and the provider is T-Mobile (Telekom). I'm not sure about the kernel modules, and I probably need some software to establish the connection. With an Ubuntu live system it works out of the box, but I certainly won't abandon Crux... Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance, Bernd _______________________________________________ CRUX mailing list CRUX@lists.crux.nu https://lists.crux.nu/mailman/listinfo/crux
