[Ubuntu-PT 9395] Re: Help with TMN wireless 3G modem in Portugal

[Osmo Antero]

Thanks for the replies,
I have managed to disable the automount with this udev rule.

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/zte_eject.rules

ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1542",
RUN+="/usr/bin/eject %k", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

But there is still no internet connection.

@kimus: I have tried all the varieties but no success.
I´ve seen in Windows that it uses:

APN=internet
Username=tmn
Password=tmn

It seems to connect but a second later it cuts off,

I need to consider other alternativies.
Thanks.
