Hi, I got a vodafone pcmcia mobile connect 3g/gprs datacard today. I tried it on my laptop running 3.9-stable. Previously, I used a siemens connect 2 air cf card to connect via gprs without problems and I used almost identical pppd scripts.
With the vodafone card (actually from www.OPTION.com) I'm not able to make a gprs connection as I get the following error after +/- 20 seconds: Apr 4 21:08:14 nc6000 pppd[22150]: pppd 2.3.5 started by didier, uid 0 Apr 4 21:08:18 nc6000 pppd[22150]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyU0 Apr 4 21:08:48 nc6000 pppd[22150]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Apr 4 21:08:54 nc6000 pppd[22150]: Connection terminated.

I must admit that I'm not very comfortable with pppd, so any help is welcome. Thanks a lot Didier
