Eee PC Tips: A crash course in Linux (Download Squad)

Nov 13th 2007 7:28PM I am trying to use my LG VX8300 Verizon cell phone as a modem for my EEE PC to access the internet. Please understand I know nothing about Linux. Here is what I've tried:

Connect my phone to the EEE via a USB cable;
Connect my cell phone to Verizon's mobile web;
Go to Network Connections;
Go to Create.

It recognizes the cell phone as hardware: LG CDMA USB modem. When it tries to create the connection, it says: status: operation failed. error: unable to determine interface to use (lanservice.cpp:574).

Can you explain to me how to alter the Linux module in order to make this work with my LG?

Thanks so much for any advice.
