It's easy and usable out of the box, but I missed the ability to use it with my Nokia N95 as a HSDPA/3G/Edge/GPRS modem.<br /><br />The main reason for the One's problem is that is missing the kernel module (cdc-acm) and an easy program to dial up. I will try to explain the steps necessary to make the N95 (and probably other devices) usable with the One. I hope the procedure and kernel module below is helpful. It certainly works flawless for me, and i hope it can help you as well. If you get it to work with other devices, please post a comment below.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Procedure</span><br /><br /><ol><li>Compile, or download the module cdc-acm.<br />I will not go through the procedure for compiling the module, but supply the module I have allready compiled. This one should work as long as an update does not change the kernel version for the One. This is rather unlikely, and should it happen i will try to release an updated version shortly. Download cdc-acm<br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/ekbcnzgfu8">here</a> (box.net)<br /><br /></li><li>Move the module to the right directory (/lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/usb/class/):<br /><br />Open a terminal:<br />Alt+F2 -> terminal ->enter<br /><br />[user@localhost ~]$ su -<br />[user@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/usb/class<br />[user@localhost ~]# cp<span style="font-weight: bold;"> /path/to/downloaded/modul<sti></sti></span>e /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/usb/class/<br />[user@localhost ~]# mknod /dev/ttyACM0 c 166 0<br />[user@localhost ~]# depmod -a<br />[user@localhost ~]# modprobe cdc-acm<br /><br /></li><li>The next step is to install an easy-to-use dialup application. I have chosen gnome-ppp for this job.<br /><br />[user@localhost ~]$ su -<br />[user@localhost ~]# yum install gnome-ppp<br />Answer Y to any questions</li><li>Configure gnome-ppp:<br /><ul><li>Start gnome-ppp Alt+F2 -> write "gnome-ppp" hit "Run" and enter your password.</li><li>Username: <providers username="">(providers username)<br /></providers></li><li>Password: (providers password)<providers password=""><br /></providers></li><li>Phone number: *99#</li><li>Push -> "Setup"</li><li>Under the Tab: "Modem"<br /></li><li>Device: /dev/ttyACM0</li><li>Type: USB Modem</li><li>Speed: 460800</li><li>Under the Tab "Networking"</li><li>Check: Manual DNS (Automatic does not seem to work)<br /></li><li>DNS 1: 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS)<br /></li><li>DNS2: 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS)<br /></li><li>Under the Tab: "Options"</li><li>Check "Dock in notification area"</li><li>Push Close</li></ul></li></ol>That should hopefully do it.
