Live Knoppix 6.4.3, 3G UMTS USB modem missing during NetworkManager process?

Hei again. I am also a 'Crunchbanger' and very pleased of how there internet is connected with ease and not just luck. I believe there's a combination of necessary programs that does the trick. Now finally, I have an internet set up by network manager program. I installed a list of programs mentiones by Klaus2008: Code: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -t testing --reinstall install network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome resolvconf avahi-autoipd modemmanager mobile-broadband-provider-info gnome-bluetooth nautilus-sendto gnome-user-share libmagickcore3-extra libparted0-dev libparted0-i18n tclreadline cryptsetup comgt. Thread is at http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...-manager-0.8.1. There were no problems with the installing process. Then I unplugged the modem and plugged it back. Internet was then connected via network manager in the same way as in Ubuntu or Cb. I was lucky. Matti Ollikainen

Thanks again, Matti. Will test that method on my laptop. BTW did you encounter any error messages like Klaus? Maybe the current debian repository packages are OK?

No, there were not any error messages. I have uncommented experimental and unstable repositories for security's sake plus x2go unknown to me. This morning I repeated all as described and with success. My laptop is Compac nc6000 1500Hz 1.2 GB. Matti Ollikainen
