Using the o2 Laptop Card with Ubuntu

lsusb shows the card as:
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0af0:6701 Option
and the Feisty kernel supports it out of the box.

Using umtsmon I can set the PIN and not worry about it anymore. However, I was unable to connect using the tool.

I had some difficulties with connectiong to the APN “surfo2″ so I’ll just post my working ppp scripts:

/etc/ppp/peers/o2s:

#device
/dev/ttyUSB0

# baud speed
460800

# log all packets to syslog
debug

#use hardware flow control
crtscts

#disable compression:
noccp
nobsdcomp
noaccomp
novj

# create a lock file for the serial device
lock

# we do not neet to authenticate ourselves?
noauth

# Disables the default behaviour when no local IP address is specified, which is to
# determine (if possible) the local IP address from the hostname. With this option, the
# peer will have to supply the local IP address during IPCP negotiation (unless it speci‐
# fied explicitly on the command line or in an options file).
noipdefault

noproxyarp

# add default route using the peer as the gateway
defaultroute

# ask the peer for up to 2 dns servers
usepeerdns

# use this for auth to the peer
user ”
password ”

# chatscript to use
connect “/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/o2-surfo2″

# accept te peers ip adresses for both connection ends
ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local

and /etc/chatscrips/o2-surfo2
