Sakis3G: Unknown operator XXXXX
| Notice: This post provides links and instructions referring to an old version of Sakis3G script. Page is still available only for historical reasons. Please visit www.sakis3g.org for latest Sakis3G script version. |
You downloaded Sakis3G script but it now stops with error "Unknown operator XXXXX". This means that Sakis3G script is not aware of your operator. At first, let me apologize: this script is in early steps and embedding all operators' details is (a) hard work and (b) I do not know how to find all required information. This is why, if you succeed implementing instructions below, you should send me feedback. By doing so, people that use the same operator with you, will not have to repeat instructions.
Sakis3G: 0.1.1 Released
Version 0.1.1 of Sakis3G script is released, in accordance with 1.1.0 update of Usb-ModeSwitch. Script now waits for network logon even when SIM card does not require PIN number. Progress bar indication, if xosd (osd_cat) is installed, is now turned off by default. Added support for Italian, Portugish, Hondurian and more German operators.

Sakis3G: How to install on Debian, when 3G is the only connection method.
Lets suppose you just got your brand new 3G stick and you want to install Sakis3G script and all its dependencies. However, the only available connection method is that 3G stick. Don't panic: All you need is a USB Disk, or CD-RW, or any other disk media (e.g. OBEX enabled bluetooth phone).
Sakis3G: 0.1.0 Released
Version 0.1.0 of Sakis3G script is out. Script now waits for network logon after supplying PIN number, before is proceeds with internet connection. This should eliminate problems with modems that need more time. Adds progress indication if xosd (osd_cat) is installed and support for several German and Austrian operators. Fixes KDE integration issues and a driver reload problem.

Sakis3G: All-in-one script
My 1st trick to share with readers: Sakis3G. A shell script that can make your 3G connection work without setting up anything. It touches nothing on your system, while giving you a fully functional connection. It even handles PIN unlocking your SIM if required. Forget setting up wvdial, pppd, udev, hal, usb_modeswitch. No installation required. Although being a shell script, it also provides graphical interface for connecting. Download and execute.
Official page of script is here.
