PIII 533 or so, intel810 chipset. Verizon pccard audiovox 5740.

Refuses to "connect". Just get "NO CARRIER" after timing out.

Ive tried every config trick on the net and nothing. Card works perfect on XP.

Socket is configured properly as ricoh.

D-link card up on same box and gets dhcp from router and works.

Tried a 2.4 first but it kept showing the socket as a yenta socket? I dont know but it didnt work.

Fresh loadup of fc6 and it configed the socket right, same as fc7 thats on it now.

With both 6 and 7 the exact same thing, card/modem refuses to return a "connect". It dials just never a connect. Is there a usb/serial listener maybe? Or another way I can watch feedback from the device? The terminal messages just show the commands as they happen.


Also, no matter what I change in wvdial.conf it always does the same thing. Is there another chat for wvdial? As the one in ppp/peer just points to the exe location in usr/bin and calls for "ver" chat. Yet I never see anything named "ver".

Well ubuntu does the same thing. Except you have to constantly use root password as theres no root login. ?-yea no thanks.


I would say its a bus/adapter problem but once just once I got connect and dns assignment while shutting down the dialer several trys earlier.

Theres some conflict causing this yet I dont know where to start. Is there a port listener that works and doesnt require a connection to load?
Anyone? Sorry for begging but its just that Im a complete newb to this stuff.

Could anyone point me in a direction of somewhere to go with this?

I have tried everything I can find.

Good Luck...

Yea that was the first place I stopped at. Thanks though.

I've been through every thing you can google on verizon or 5720 or EVDO. There is something else wrong. Is there some connection sniffer or port listener that I can download? My usb to serial adapter on XP has a logger that shows the output in what ever format I choose.

Can someone point me towards anything to the such?

Ethereal used to be around, although I haven't seen it for a while... May be worth a google

Think it's changed it's name to something like wireshark, I had Ethereal on core4, after one particular update it had this new name.

Still having the same problem. My dual boot toshiba F7/XP with a TI cardbus assigns ttyacm0 upon insertion and with the dialer set it works fine. Easy as it gets.

Same F7 in a the old set top and no connect. Socket is there and the card gets assigned ttyacm0 aswell. Tried everything. Ordered a different cardbus and dang if it didnt come in with the same chip,Ricoh RL5c475A, and with the same "no carrier".

Anyone got a clue how to datalog whats going on when I dial? Not log/messages-that aint worth squat.

Well well, removing the Nic card altogether brings up connect on EVDO. Aslong as the NIC is installed the EVDO dialed through pppd wont show carrier. Remove the NIC and bam, connects and works without issue.

Now what? Is it some pci conflict(swapped all combos of open slots without change), an IRQ(shouldn't be), something in the ppp? Where would I begin?

Finally got both up but I still dont understand why it works.

Went to /etc/sysconfig/network edited line NETWORKING_IPV6=YES to no.

It dials up on boot and works along side eth0, the lan card.
