What modem are you trying to use?
One possible problem is that if the modem also has some storage space, you might need usb_modeswitch to prevent it from being detected as a storage device... usb_modeswitch is not currently in the vector repositories, but could certainly be added.

I might be wrong, but I think with wvdial (which is in the repositories), you can automatically detect the characteristics of the modem.
Then you can use it to start the connection, or use chestnut-dialer (which is also in the repositories) and import the wvdial configuration.

Try installing wvdial and running (as root):

Code:

wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Then open that configuration file and put the right phone number, username, and password.

Then run

Code:

wvdial

and see if you get a connection.
You can then start your connection that way in a terminal, or use chestnut-dialer if you prefer.

It's kind of a "guess", as I never tried this myself...

Sorry but I dident get a conection.. I  dident recognized the modem, or it was ocupied..
Soon i give up. I thout that it was a simple thing to use nm(gnome network manager..)
Hope that in the future it comes to Vector linux to..

It is easy... you just have to keep in mind that there is more than one way of doing things in Linux.
Gnome network manager is more like a front end to some CLI tool ... probabbly the same with chestnut...

You can post the output of wvdialconf here, so we can see if the modem is being seen.
Also, post the make and model of the modem. What does it say about that modem in the ubuntu page you posted above?

[Headhunter]

My modem is a Huawei E169. Ive tryed the e220 also. I installed the XFCE4 ver of ubuntu again...
Going to keep my eyes open on this tread to se if you solve the prolem..

Hmm. Didden't work.. Ive tryed the link above and get this responce..
Ive had installed the wvdial.
plus the work around.. edit the /etc/wvdial.conf..

you need to find out how your modem is registering in VL. To do that, run

Code:

tail -f /var/log/meessages

as root in a terminal
Then plug your modem in.
My modems/cell phone register as ttyACM0 in VL

You will see the device name in the terminal

lappis://home/thord
root:# tail -f /var/log/meessages
tail: cannot open `/var/log/meessages' for reading: No such file or directory
tail: no files remaining

when I did that...

I shall try to test if it work with my USB-flash drive...

It worked just fine.. Hmm

I can see the modem via usbview in shell..




here is a output:
