This describes an example how to surf via UMTS under Linux. The example has been done on 2011-08-12 in Germany with the otelo SurfStick in the Vodaphone network on SUSE Linux 11.4.. It may work same or similar with another hardware, distribution, phone network or country. Here are the steps I took after buying:
Activate it
Due to Vodaphone requirements I had to hand out my ID card to the shop assistant and she activated the surf stick for me.
Connect
- log in to SUSE using Gnome
- Install Networkmanager
yast2 -i NetworkManager
- start NetworkManager
NetworkManager
- click on NetworkManager -> New GSM connection -> Germany -> my provider is not listed here -> APN is event.otelo.de
- log out and back in again using Gnome
- attach your USB device Surf Stick
- when required, enter your pin
- click on NetworkManager -> otelo connection
- start firefox, surf to www.linuxintro.org
- you are redirected to a page where you can choose which plan you want to use (e.g. 4 days internet for 9.99 €)
- select a plan
- you are now connected to the internet:
