I am using the Gnome desktop with 'network manager'(ver. 0.7.996) to control and setup my internet connections. Here I use a mobile broadband using a HUAWEI E160E modem ... and my provider is Internode. To assist with these tasks I have installed the network manager applet on my panel.
Now when it works it is brilliant! It starts automatically with the computer startup, and then just sits there and does the business ... much faster than the old dialup connection which it has replaced. however, some times it doesn't start ... and I have to go through the bother of de-installing and re-installing the account. Is this setup a little 'flakey' for others too? At other times I have to unplug the device, wait and then replug it is (usb) before reconfiguring it. On another partition I have a copy of the KDE release candidate for LinuxMint 8. This seems to be less of a problem for my combination. This is however for testing ... and I prefer to use gnome desktop. Any suggestions?? Is there a CLI way to configure/reconfigure this system ... which may be more reliable than network manager??
