Thanks I finally got that all working great. |

|
27 |
I would also like to set up my palm treo 755p with my thinkpad as a usb |
28 |
modem. The account is set up with my provider, but my laptop does not |
29 |
see the modem. I would also still like to be able to switch between my |
30 |
ethernet interface, and wifi card (and select networks) in the easiest |
31 |
way possible. |
32 |
|
33 |
Does anybody have experience with all this? There seems to be many |
34 |
packages that deal with networking. ie. networkmanager, wifimanager, |
35 |
wifiradar, kwifimanager... Does anybody have any clear easy advice as |
36 |
to what packages to use, packages to NOT use, how to set configurations? |
37 |
|
38 |
Thanks again! |
