Connecting USB 3G Dongle: ZTE MF110


Hi everyone,

I just installed fedora 14 and i'm trying to connect using a movistar zte mf110 dongle. fedora recognizes the stick no problem, accepts the PIN, and finds the network with good reception. but when i try to connect it tries and tries with no result.

anyone have any advice?

When you try to connect, do you get any warnings or errors in /var/log/messages?
