Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / October 2006Linux driver for GPRS/EDGE (GSM) modem module (Siemens MC75)?
Hi, Recently bought a GPRS/EDGE (GSM) modem module (Siemens MC75) for remote office connectivity. The supplied windows driver works perfectly since it detects this USB module as modem via com ports 3-6. Then, creating the dial-up connection using the detected modem doesn't take long. I read somewhere that it will work as standard 19200 modem without any driver. Should it work in linux without any special driver? If not, where else to turn to for the linux driver of this modem module (Siemens MC75)? I'm using Slackware 10.

I use the kppp dialer with authentication set to "PAP/CHAP" with either my Siemens S55 handset or Wavecom modem. You won't get best GPRS performance at 19200 bps. I use 115200 bps.

You might get more response from a Linux ng, but no guarantee, some of them are pretty fiery! > Sent 11 May 2006 08:13:07 -0700: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > You might get more response from a Linux ng, but no guarantee, some of > them are pretty fiery! IMHO, the OP should try google: http://www.google.com/linux?q=gprs%2Fedge&restrict=linux Plz note /linux in the above said URL; limits the search results from Linux specific sites.

I do hear that some of them, though, such as the Mandriva, Ubuntu, and Linspire groups are pretty hardcore. Some of those folks can be downright rude.

I agree the OZ ng's are quite civilised, but the ones mainly based in USA get quite excited at times. You can get flamed by asking the simple questions, they only want the obscure stuff! :-) > Sent 11 May 2006 08:13:07 -0700: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > You might get more response from a Linux ng, but no guarantee, some of > them are pretty fiery!
