Step 1: add usb serial driver to kernel.
sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko vendor=0x1199 product=0x0112
dmesg shows the card as having ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 ports.

I tried using kppp under KDE. I made a symlink to /dev/modem at KNOPPIX => Network/Internet => /dev/modem connection setup.
Next, I went to KPPP and set up an account/modem combo that dials #777.

I can dial and connect to the internet quite well, but the dang connection keeps dropping after a few minutes.

Any ideas?

Also, how do I merge this driver into the kernel permanently?

Thanks
