viking777 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am away from home at the moment and using gprs/3g modems to connect to the internet. I have two of these with two different providers but I have noticed recently that every time I try to update anything using the '3' network I get a shed load of signature verification errors. If I switch to the Vodafone network I do not get any errors at all. Sadly most places I go the Vodafone network is generally too slow to update anything, whereas with '3' you might just about manage it if it weren't for the errors. I am not exactly looking for a solution to this because it will go away of its own accord when I get home, but I just wonder why it might happen? Does anyone know? Incidentally, I run two versions of Mandriva and one of Opensuse and the effect is noticeable on all three, so this is not a Mandriva specific fault.

tyme Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) the 3g network might be compacting your downloads, so the sig may not match. that's just a guess, however - it's possible the 3g just has data corruption issues (not usually noticeable in normal browsing, but when downloading binary files - yeah).

David Batson Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have been having issues recently with AT&T's GPRS 3G network. I downloaded some script files from Sierra Wireless and am using pppd to run them. It's only been a couple of days, but so far so good. We'll see if it holds up in other locations. See my thread below for more details. AT&T cellular modem (860 Aircard) and constant disconnects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
