Hi Guys,
I need some information regarding getting internet on my BB-xM with angstrom.
I have a USB 3G dongle and, Im not able to figure out if BBXM or angstrom has any kind of support to connect to internet from a USB-dongle. The USB-3G signals seems to have been interfering with my serial console signals, as I see a lot of random messages in middle.
I don’t have ethernet broadband either. So, I was trying to use my Laptop as a bridge and connect my BB to the network. I Have some problems in that too…
Please shed some light on this topic. any specific logs u require to debug this , I will share them ASAP.
Hi,
Send the dmesg log after you connect the Dongle. Let me see if I can find any problem on kernel.

I feel that the BB identified the usb dongle as a mass storage device, since it also has a memory card slot.
anyways, here are the dmesg logs…

Yes, it is recognizing your device only as Storage.
I believe you have to install a module to get the things up and running.
Try these two:
After that I believe you can find your 3G modem at /dev/ttyUSB*
Good Luck,

You could try sakis3g (http://www.sakis3g.org/). It is a nice tool to help switch the 3G dongle storage mode off, and make the connection. You should have a ppp0 interface up when it is done.
Thank you guys, I will try these and get back…
