This page refers to frequently asked questions for Sakis3G script.
Why those configuration variables do not share same naming convention?
This script was not written at once. It has evolved over months. I hope I will find courage to fix it some day. I am sorry.
Why a shell script?
Well, I wanted as less dependencies as possible. Shell is an interpreter found in all systems. Would you prefer python or compilers and libraries installed on your tiny 4 GB SSD netbook? I don't.
I think I configured my modem properly so that it is supported by sakis3g. Why it does not get my modem mode switched?
Version of Usb-ModeSwitch embedded in this script, contains device database up to 2010/02/21. Devices not supported by Usb-ModeSwitch, are not supported by Sakis3G either. If you want to do it yourself, you need to seek into comments at the end of script.
When I use 9menu or xosd, my font is not found.
Use xfontsel to construct a valid font string. Then edit script and change font settings.
When attempting to connect, it says something about FORCE_APN.
Your operator offers multiple APNs. You need to learn why, identify appropriate one for you, and set it using FORCE_APN variable.
This thing is a monster.
Tell me about it.
