Networking – Sakis 3G (auto user name and passwords)

modemnetworkingpasswords

i am using sakis 3g to connect to internet because most of times, my modem doesn't get detected in network manager and modem detection is very slow as compared with sakis3g.

I just downloaded the script and made it executable and created a shortcut on the desktop. This is how i run it. It is in my home folder.

I want to automate connection process and to be more friendly. Everytime i connect, it asks me to choose, APN and user name and password, APN part is all right, i want it to let me select from a list of APN because many times i need to change provider.

But User Name and passwords all are blank, for all providers. I want to enter some random user name and password, and want sakis 3g doesn't ask for them.

I know this can be done, but i don't know the process, because it is mentioned, see these screenshots.

If this is not the recommended way to use script, then tell me how to install, and where to install. Thanks in advance!!

Best Answer

creat a configuration file for SAKIS 3G

sudo gedit /etc/sakis3g.conf

Put following contents in the file

APN="CUSTOM_APN"

CUSTOM_APN="vinternet.com"

APN_USER="kk"

APN_PASS="kk"

USBINTERFACE="0"

USBDRIVER=""

OTHER="USBMODEM"

USBMODEM=""

Replace vinternet.com with your APN, and replace kk with whatever you want, i put USB DRIVERS empty because in case i change modem, then it will automatically load appropriate drivers(Huawei, zte, option etc)

If you change your Internet provider frequently then put # in first two lines, Sakis will automatically ask you to enter APN from the list, the main part is not to ask for username and password, which is solved.

So, putting a # disable that line. If you fully want to automate the process, just change APN, if you change provider frequently , put # infront of first two lines.
