Wow, 10000 Views.. I have been busy with other things so i could reply to the post's here..
Yes, the second method will always give faster speeds. I havent yet tried using vpn. I dont think there is any easy way to get the signal strength or the evdo mode. We will have to wait for the official drivers.
You can see it in sytem profiler.
That's weird.. The script itself is harmless.
If its really slow use the modem on a windows computer and compare the speeds. I think its because of weak signal or 1x network.
Hi.. Thanks for helping others on this forum..
You forgot the first step. Do sudo -s before running the script.

1. I've seen you suggest that the cdma/novatel script is faster than the prolific method, but I was just wondering if this was absolutely confirmeed or perhaps different in different areas.
2. In your network preferences pane, are you automatically supplied with a WINS name and server.
3. Do you use vpn on top of it? Or maybe the 802.11 authentication?.
4. Is there any way on hte mac itself to identify how many bars there are similar to as you can do in windows, and more importantly whether you are on evdo or you are on 1x?
Thanks for your time and I appreciate al the help you've done .

I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.4 and the System Profiler shows following for my EVDO device:
Version: 0.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: ZTE, Incorporated
Product ID: 0x3197
Vendor ID: 0x05c6
So I've changed the value 24576 in the script to 12695, ran install.sh - no errors so far. Then some moments later I got a message from Mac OSX that some kernel extensions are missing (about 6-7 kexts where missing). See here: Guests cannot see links in the messages.

After restarting my Mac it didn't boot anymore - was hanging at the gray loading screen. Gladly I've made a Time Machine backup before...
Do you have any idea what I made wrong or what's wrong on my system? Afraid to do it again as the restore process takes some hours.
That's weird.. The script itself is harmless.

Please register in our forum for free by clicking here to see links.Good news: I dared to try it again and finally it worked out fine! Card detected and Inet works! Except the speeds are incredibly slow - at the first attempt I had to wait minutes for G**gle startpage, no it's a bit better.
Area: Auroville, Puducherry
Speedtest.net reports: 270 down, 37 up
But I've the feeling that it's much slower (the fetching of several files takes soo long).
If its really slow use the modem on a windows computer and compare the speeds. I think its because of weak signal or 1x network.

It seems to be a permission issue. Would you please help me to resolve?
You forgot the first step. Do sudo -s before running the script.

I am trying to configure my laptop with this EVDO through the tutorials of Veagles. I have stuck at Point No. 11. I could not find any 'advanced' tab in System Preferences->Network. Please guide me.I havent used tiger in a long time. There may be minor differences in the layout of the preferences. Just explore and figure it out.
