[Gta04-owner] 3G internet connection

now I had the time to do the following:

- Connect the phone to internet via IP over USB.
- apt-get install gcc
- apt-get install build-essential
- Get femtocom.c from Nikolaus's source.
- gcc -o femtocom femtocom.c
- ./femtocom /dev/ttyHS_Modem
- AT_OPSYS?

What should I say? As result I'm getting the following:

AT_OPSYS?
_OPSYS: 0,2

OK

I swear I'm using QtMoko v55, which isn't "some old version". So why do 
I get "0,2" ?

After that surprise I entered "AT_OPSYS=1,2". At once QtMoko displayed 
"Searching for network" and after some seconds it replaced the "G" with 
a nicely "3"!

Then I removed the USB cable, went into "Settings" / "Internet" and 
started it. Result was at finally I could do browsing in the net with 
impressive speed...    \o/   \o/   \o/   \o/   \o/

But the nagging questions remain: Why? Is it really necessary for me 
that after each poweron I need to switch from 2G to 3G manually? Why, 
although using v55?

Best regards
