This document describe the installation of the Nokia Internet Stick CS-1x.
These instructions have been validated on Unbuntu 8.04. Other GNU/Linux distributions can be used if they have the following, or higher, software versions :
kernel >= 2.6.18
udev >= 0.90
Note that compatibility cannot be assured even if software version
requirements are met.
You need to have administrator priviledges (the sudo utility can be used to achieve this). If this is not possible, check with your administrator about how to perform a manual installation.
When plugged into a USB port, the Nokia Internet Stick CS-1x enumerates itself as a CD device with a data partition on it. This partition contains OS specific installation files and drivers. Once the installation has been performed, the drivers automatically remove the CD device at startup to allow the modem to be used.
Under GNU/Linux this removal is done with the "Eject" command on the CD device. In order to enable this for the Nokia Internet stick only, a udev rule is created. It is possible to disable this behaviour to retrieve the installation device.

The disk should eject automatically and the CDC-ACM driver should load after USB re-enumeration.
If there was no CDC-ACM device previously active on your system you should have two CDC-ACM interfaces added: /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1.
Assuming that there was no previous CDC-ACM device active on your system, there will be two serial devices named /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 when the Nokia CS-15 internet stick is active .
You can use /dev/ttyACM0 as a serial modem device for your internet connection and /dev/ttyACM1 for AT commands.
Under Ubuntu 8.04 running Gnome Desktop manager, go to System->Control Center->Network to setup your internet connection.
Select point to point connection with a GPRS/UMTS connection on /dev/ttyACM0. Note that you must enter the device name as it does not appear into the drop down list.
Be sure to fill the Access Point Number field with the one provided by your carrier.
For other distributions or desktop environments, please refer to their documentation on how to setup internet connections with a GPRS/UMTS modem.
Issue an "Eject" command on the CD device by right clicking on the Nokia Modem icon then selecting "Eject". Make sure that there are no open files on the CD device before carrying out this operation.
Check the installation steps above.
Check that there is no file named /etc/udev/nokia-zerocd-noeject.
Check that the udev rules are reloaded.
Check that udev is running.
Check the dmesg output for CDC-ACM or USB storage errors.
Check to see if the usb-storage and cdc-acm kernel drivers are loaded by issuing the lsmod command.
Check Access Point name setting.
Check that you are using the right device as a modem.
Check that the default route to the internet settings is selected.
There is no autodetection on Ubuntu 8.04, please enter the modem port by hand.
Add a applet "Network Monitor" to one of your panels, and configure it to ppp0 (enter it by hand if connection is off).
