O2 Surf Stick from Tchibo

Task

Getting a mobile Internet connection with either HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS with a UMTS Surf Stick from O2-Tchibo.

Method

use kppp

Problem

pppd with debian has noauth disabled :-(

Solution

as root:

apt-get install kppp
Adding the user who wants to dial to the Group dip (and dialup) (vi /etc/group).
edit /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options:
noauth
This Hint can be found in: /usr/share/doc/kppp/README.Debian
Remove the PIN from the SIM-Card before using in Unix. (Makes Things easier)
This can be done with the Windows Tool or with a normal Mobile-Phone.

Add Profile to kppp

 APN: webmobil1
 Number: *99#

This will result in a configuration like: ~/.kde/share/config/kppprc:
