Set up Verizon USB720 BroadbandAccess card on OpenSuse 11
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Just wanted to share the settings I used to get it working (because discussion boards are full of things that don’t work, and most people are jerks who never share that they got something working).
Using KNetworkManager (haven’t gotten it working using if-up)
Click on KNetworkManager icon (it’s the one that looks like a globe) in the taskbar. Go to “New connection…” and select ttyUSBX from the submenu (X may be 0, or something higher if you have a USB-RS232 converter like I do). Then, enter these settings:
Number: #777
Username: YOURVERIZONNUMBER@vzw3g.com
Password: vzw
Baud Rate: 230400
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Send delay: 0
Make sure “no authorization” is checked. Also, in the last screen, you might want to check “auto connect”.
Similar settings should work with Sprint’s usb card, which is pretty much identical.
