Fedora 12 Verizon USB 760 Setup
![](https://estrip.org/media/images/link.gif)

In order to get 3G working on fedora I needed to use the following setting with NetworkManager.
1. First insert the dongle but then eject the disk that automounts as a CD. If you don't eject the disk it sees the dongle as a disk instead of as a modem. I am pretty sure there is a way to prevent this from happening but I haven't figured it out yet.
2. right-click network manager icon - choose edit connections. Click the mobile broadband tab and enter
Number:#777
Username: your phone @vzw3g.com e.g. 000000XXXX format
Password: vzw
Then just left click the network manager icon and select the network from the list

Fedora 12 Recap
Literally everything is working and I am pretty sure I am going to switch over now.
Working:
disk encryption
battery life is better
dual monitor
3d desktop
bluetooth mouse and keyboard
flash 10
netbeans 6.8
verizon usb modem
exchange on thunderbird via davmail
cisco VPN
wifi
citrix ICA client - just remember to remove
The best part is that aside from getting exchange into thunderbird, everything else worked by default. Its come a long way since the days when you had to spent a long time getting wireless and your graphics card to work.
Fedora even comes with new FOSS graphic card drivers which do an excellent job with 2D but you still the need the real nvidia drivers if you want to get a 3D desktop.
Honestly, it is totally amazing.

Back to linux?
The magazine actually taught me a few things I didn't realize which was awesome but moreover it inspired me to switch back to linux yet again. I have this off and on relationship with linux as my desktop. During any given day I am using 1 of 9 linux computers I manage but my laptop is generally mac. Recently, I just haven't been feeling as apple as before and I am tired of having to recompile stuff for mac so I am giving Fedora 12 a try. Maybe I wil love it, maybe not. No promises.
If I do then I am getting a hardware encrypted disk and switching over permanently.
This also brings into question what I will get as my next laptop. The biggest issue is the lack of full driver for my new magic mouse ;(
