Debian netbook: cell modem work

10 10 09 - 12:59

With wvdial, my Nokia N70 works well as usb modem. But, I've made a fix: at first all seems work fine,

the cell was connected (with dns and ppp0 interface up), but I can't ping anything. The problem was the

ipv6 conflict. I've fixed:

• open /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, found "alias net-pf-10 ipv6", replace it with "alias net-pf-10 off #ipv6"
• insert alias ipv6 off
• open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, insert blacklist ipv6
• reboot

It has be done. Used tags: cell, debian, internet, netbook, umts
