Sorry I took your time by answerin it. It seems this question of mine has already been asked a few times already. I tried ltmdm but it didn't work. Definitely not a lucent chipset I guess. Anyway, thanks again. I'll google some more of it. [off topic] Dinesh: I know you and I read bout you in OSS etc. Glad to see you here :) . Oh I didn't know you live in Malaysia too. Anyway, thanks again guys.
