Configuring o2 Mobile Broadband Connection GSM
Hi Experts,
I want to configure an o2 GSM mobile broadband connection on a Dell Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise machine, OS version 3.0.31-0.9-pae.
I simply want to know how to configure the o2 connection on this, I know our APN Settings, but it's the GSM basic number I am struggling with. See attached images.
Obviously I have contacted o2 enterprise, who say they are not technically trained, they passed me onto a technical department who could not answer my question, and were reluctant to help because I am an enterprise customer. Spent quite a while googling away, then remembered I have an EE subscription :)
Hope you guys can help me out on this.

Apologies Gheist, I am truly an absolute beginner, I've never really used any version of linux. Please can you guide me on how to get this information? I've no idea how to even run a uname command. Apologies.
It's a Dell Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise -- it seems quite locked down. But this is out of the box, straight from Dell.
Please can you advise?

Can you launch a terminal and execute
user@system ~> uname -r
3.xxxxxxx-pae ????
The ppp dialer in your screenshot should work - it just needs APN name from your provider entered.

hi Gheist, sorry for the delayed response. The OS version is 3.0.31-0.9-pae
Please could you guide me through the PPP Dialler to connect to o2?
Still not having any luck with it

Enter APN, remove roaming option tickmark and save & connect. There is nothing more needed

Suggestions indeed were correct even you did not approach any of them.
Your kernel version number is not from SuSE (or openSUSE)
Can you confirm output of "uname -r" ?
