Using a Sprint Broadband U727 dongle with the i3386 v1.0.7-test image
Has anyone successfully used the U727 with i3386 v1.0.7-test image? I loaded the virgin image and went through the setup script and selected PPP for the network interface and it completed without any problems. During the reboot I get the message "pppd: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/sprint: no such file or directory".
I can't speak for the sprint card, but i've had no issues with my verizon um175. i would check to see if it created /etc/ppp/peers/ verizon instead of /etc/ppp/peers/sprint Jim On Apr 13, 2009, at 10:49 PM, Mark Guibord wrote:

I have, from a virgin load, got the sprint card to work fine the first time every time I have ever done it.

<-- Hi Jim; Interesting or very timely stuff! - Jon (VA3RQ) and I have been discussing the Sprint U727 USB wireless 'fob' recently since BELL Canada has just recently started to support this up here in the great white north. It's actually marketed here as the Novatel U727. We are going to acquire a couple of units (from different providers) for some site trials. Could you please let us know what's required to set these up under the ACID environment (e.g., PPPoE client, etc.)? If you can also share any experiences in terms of bandwidth that would be very helpful as well. Many thanks! Ramesh.
Very very little. If you run netsetup and answer P for ppp, it will put it right on the air and in fact also make it a router so that other devices may also share the internet connection with it, if you wish.
