After searching for countless hours over the net and researching what needs to be done to use a Verizon Wireless EVDO PC5750 card for broadband access, I've become quite frustrated. Most of the guides out there have been dated, and not moved past current times, also, some of the code is geared towards the PC5740, which may or may not use different modem strings.
So, here is what needs to be done to get your Verizon Wireless PC5750 card working. This was done 30 minutes ago on a Fedora 8 RC3 Live i686 CD, run on an IBM Thinkpad R61i.
Please note, this is for the REVa PC5750!
1. Enter terminal, type modprobe usbserial vendor=0x106c product=0x3702
2. Next, enter sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
3. Now that you are editing the wvdial configuration, clear everything in it, and paste the following:
[Dialer Defaults]
Stupid Mode = on
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 921600
Init = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = #777
Username = ??????????@vzw3g.com
Password = vzw
Init1 = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Auto Reconnect = on
Carrier Check = no
[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0
[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP
Where as the ???s in the username will be replaced with the 10-digit telephone number for your EVDO device (eg. 9991112222)
4. Save, return to the terminal and type the command sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial
5. Add the following to the end of the file:
lcp-echo-failure 0
lcp-echo-interval 0
and save.
6. Start your connection by entering wvdial at the terminal, or start it in the Network page under the System menu. Enjoy!
I didn't create this information, it has been regurgitated into a short, no frills tutorial with information from Mach1US.
