Connecting ADSL modem using command line for Network Manager
 

Linux Mint 9
NetworkManager 0.8
Nokia Siemens ADSL modem in bridge mode
Broadband using ethernet

How can I connect and disconnect my BB connection using command line. I have configured DSL in NetworkManager using UserID and password and I can click my DSL name in the nm-applet to connect, but how to connect using a command line?

Hi, to find out what the connection name is, type (while connected),

your device is probably ppp0, if so use the ifup/ifdown command to bring the device up or take it down(switch off).

command line dis-connect command,
check with, command line to connect command,
Hope this is what you need, Regards Glenn

Thanks Glenn. I'm away from my system for a few days. I'll try your advice and let you know. Thanks again.

Didn't work. Says

When run as root, it says

You should be able to use cnetworkmanager to activate connections that are configured using Network Manager.

Hi, what is the output from sudo ifconfig -a ?

This should show all the connected network devices.

Adsl may be using ethernet, eth0

Thanks GlennsPref for your interest. Problem solved using cnetworkmanager and crontab.
