Actually I wanted to buy an Option Globetrotter Express (ExpressCard) but it seems there might be issues with FreeBSD. Are there any recommendations on with which hardware get GPRS/UMTS/WLAN running on a FreeBSD notebook ? Many thanks in advance.

Support in RELENG_8 is pretty good for most things out there. If you want to use a mini-pcie card, the Sierra works well here in Rogers land. Generally, I would stick with what your carrier provides since if you need support, they wont help you if the stick is not sold by them. And I mean support as in, "hey, are you sure this SIM is active" kind of thing as opposed to help setting it up in Windows. For USB, we have used Sierra, ZTE, Ovation. The recent ZTEs that Rogers gives away seem fairly stable. The trouble is that the guts inside often change... ---Mike > -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Fri May 27 18:27:26 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68B26106566C for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 18:27:26 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from tom@diogunix.com) Received: from mail.kepos.org (mail.kepos.org [64.120.5.168]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 588598FC0C for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 18:27:26 +0000 (UTC) From: "tom@diogunix.com" To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 20:27:09 +0200 References: <201105271905.05137.tom@diogunix.com> <4DDFE606.70809@sentex.net> In-Reply-To: <4DDFE606.70809@sentex.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <201105272027.10437.tom@diogunix.com> Subject: Re: GPRS/UMTS device for a FreeBSD notebook ?

And > I mean support as in, "hey, are you sure this SIM is active" kind of > thing as opposed to help setting it up in Windows. I need sort of a one-size-fits-all solution as I'll be hopping across a couple of western european countries: UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain. I'd therefor prefer to have always the same device in use and just exchange the SIM when crossing borders (as roaming with only 1 SIM could make you a poor man). With the Option products I like the possibility to plugin external (better) antennas. Last year I noted the Option Globetrotter Express 441 was good, but now only the Option Globetrotter Express HSUPA seems to be available. Did not already check the other manufacturers (will have to do so of course). But first: How can I check whether or not a certain product / model will be supported by RELENG 8 ? Is there a list of devices anywhere hidden in RELENG 8 ? And if so, where can I find it ? kind regards Tom From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Fri May 27 19:08:05 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 94FAE1065673 for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 19:08:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from smarthost1.sentex.ca (smarthost1-6.sentex.ca [IPv6:2607:f3e0:0:1::12]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 50F2C8FC14 for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 19:08:05 +0000 (UTC) Received: from smtp2.sentex.ca (smtp2c.sentex.ca [64.7.153.30]) by smarthost1.sentex.ca (8.14.4/8.14.4) with ESMTP id p4RJ7lQf002843 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Fri, 27 May 2011 15:07:47 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from pyroxene.sentex.ca ([IPv6:2607:f3e0:0:3::18]) by smtp2.sentex.ca (8.14.4/8.14.4) with ESMTP id p4RJ7lVU030302; Fri, 27 May 2011 15:07:47 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Received: from [192.168.43.26] (saphire3.sentex.ca [192.168.43.26]) by pyroxene.sentex.ca (8.14.4/8.14.3) with ESMTP id p4RJ7l7o096794; Fri, 27 May 2011 15:07:47 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from mike@sentex.net) Message-ID: <4DDFF66A.5060505@sentex.net> Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 15:07:22 -0400 From: Mike Tancsa Organization: Sentex Communications User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101207 Thunderbird/3.1.7 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "tom@diogunix.com" References: <201105271905.05137.tom@diogunix.com> <4DDFE606.70809@sentex.net> <201105272027.10437.tom@diogunix.com> In-Reply-To: <201105272027.10437.tom@diogunix.com> X-Enigmail-Version: 1.1.1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: clamav-milter 0.95.1 at smtp2.sentex.ca X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.67 on 64.7.153.18 Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: GPRS/UMTS device for a FreeBSD notebook ?

Often, to support slightly newer chipsets, you just need to add the device IDs e.g. see /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c There are quite a few there. Also, some devices use a different driver, especially Option can make use of the uhso driver. I dont have an experience with that. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/ From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Fri May 27 19:16:02 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3564F106566B for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 19:16:02 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from guru@unixarea.de) Received: from ms16-1.1blu.de (ms16-1.1blu.de [89.202.0.34]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E9AED8FC13 for ; Fri, 27 May 2011 19:16:01 +0000 (UTC) Received: from [89.204.153.146] (helo=tiny.Sisis.de.) by ms16-1.1blu.de with esmtpsa (TLS-1.0:DHE_RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32) (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from ) id 1QQ1dj-0004EV-V2; Fri, 27 May 2011 20:20:05 +0200 Received: from tiny.Sisis.de.

I don't know if a device exists supporting GPRS/UTMS and WLAN at the same time. For GPRS/UTMS I'm using for many years a Huawei E220 USB dongle. Check u3g(4) man page what is supported in your version of FreeBSD and try to get an USB key or dongle of exact this type, ignore what your provider is offering (they will support only Win and Mac, and hotline will not even know about what you are talking if you ask them for PPP/LCP/CHAP parameters). I'm used to travel a lot in Europe and never had problems with the ppp.conf config, not even in roaming networks -- they use all the same handshake values. Check out my page http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC-8CURRENT.txt chapter 6, if you need details.
