Installed a GUI software to connect to internet.
But it didnt connected, the problem is that airtel GPRS dont hav any username or password and it is asking for that..

 

[The Outsider]

open a terminal (Konsole in Kde), become root

su

then issue this command

wvdialconf /etc/wwvdial.conf

it will detect your phone as a modem.

then open wvdial.conf in a text editor

kwrite /etc/wvdial.conf

note down whats written in the line "Modem = /dev/***"

probably it will be /dev/ttyUSB0, assuming you have no other usb devices connected.

remove everything written in wvdial.conf and paste exactly this,

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0  [b]# <-- Replace it with the reading you got[/b] 
Phone = *99#
Username = aa
Password = bbc
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Carrier Check = No

save the file and close it.

issue this command

wvdial

if all goes right, you'll be connected, that ^^ is my personal wvdial.conf for airtel gprs, tested with 2 phones and over 8 distros, if still doesn't work then post the output of

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

.

[Pathik]

yup i know.. But i m trying to figure out how to connect gprs thru bt

 

[mehulved]

Pathiks try /dev/rfcomm for tty and follow what Manshahia did. And as I said, in the other thread, plz make a tutorial so I can sticky it, will be useful to other.
It would be good if someone used wvdial method, it shouldn't be any tougher.

Can we use the same cd to install bluetooth on Linux which we got bbundled with it for windows? I'm using Nokia 6230i and connect it to PC via DKU-2 cable to use internet. Will it be possible on Open Suse 10.2 ? Coz Its the only way with which i can connect to internet!

 

[mehulved]

You won't need those drivers. Bluetooth drivers are compiled into the linux kernel, so you will be able to connect via Bluetooth without installing any additional drivers. But, while installing remember to install bluetooth framework.
And anyways I doubt the cd contains drivers for linux.

And before starting with linux, it would be good to go through these few things, since *nix is quite different from windows, so you will need to learn a few new things, and even unlearn a few.

The DVD of Suse 10.2 has the required Framework for Bluetooth.
Edited

 

[mehulved]

The DVD of Suse 10.2 has all the drivers for Bluetooth.

Actually, speaking you're right but what you're referring is the framework and not drivers. drivers are compiled in the kernel.
