Dear all,

I need to connect my embedded linux board (AT91SAM9260) to internet using GPRS modem. In desktop linux, I use wvdial to connect my desktop to internet using GPRS modem. But I don't know what tools to use in embedded linux.

I've read on internet that some people use pppd in embedded linux to connect GPRS modem to internet. But I don't know how to add pppd application to embedded linux.

Perhaps somebody can help me?

thanks a lot.

Hi there,

quick help but it should help.

I've been able to use some dialup gprs on a AT91SAM9261-ek board using my phone and a bluetooth USB dongle. Just search for pppd on open embedded website, you should be able to download an ipkg package.

Then using minicom, you should be able to run your own script and connect to internet.

Hope it helps. Good luck!
