Huawei E169 and Linux NetworkManager

Mar-19-2009 By miketeo

My Huawei E169 used to be working fine with Linux NetworkManager under Fedora Core 10 until a recent yum upgrade. The NetworkManager now waits for some time (about 30 seconds) before it gives an error message on timeout. After some troubleshooting, the following files /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets need to have some changes in their permissions settings.

$> chmod 0660 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets /etc/ppp/pap-secrets

That solves the problem, and now I can access the Internet via my SingTel 3G network.

To remove the D-Pad (the round dial pad) on your J2ME midlet when using on Nokia 5800 (symbian 5th edition), just add in an user-defined property to your midlet JAD.

Nokia-MIDlet-On-Screen-Keypad: no

Then repackage your midlet jar file and re-install on Nokia 5800.
