Linux driver for GPRS/EDGE (GSM) modem module (Siemens MC75)?

Posted: 05-11-2006, 03:13 PM
Hi,

Recently bought a GPRS/EDGE (GSM) modem module (Siemens MC75) for
remote office connectivity. The supplied windows driver works perfectly
since it detects this USB module as modem via com ports 3-6. Then,
creating the dial-up connection using the detected modem doesn't take
long. I read somewhere that it will work as standard 19200 modem
without any driver.

Should it work in linux without any special driver? If not, where else
to turn to for the linux driver of this modem module (Siemens MC75)?

I'm using Slackware 10.

TIA

Yes. I use the kppp dialer with authentication set to
"PAP/CHAP" with either my Siemens S55 handset or Wavecom modem.
You won't get best GPRS performance at 19200 bps. I use 115200
bps.
