I need Internet on the road so brought a netbook and a USB Mobile Broadband stick. I've followed the installation instructions provided by the provider but this still does not work. I've also tried a couple of similar installation instructions found around the net. Has anybody had any luck getting this to work in Fedora 14? How did you or how can I get this to work?
View 1 RepliesMy PC crashed and I replaced Windows XP with Ubuntu. My laptop is still on Windows. Haven't been able to connect to the internet on my PC, Linux IT guy told me there was an issue with drivers on Ubuntu. Was told the Ubuntu community would know how to fix this. I've been reading through the posts and found a similar sort of problem posted with a solution posted also. The solution it seemed, lay in the Sakis website. I went to the Sakis website and downloaded Sakis3G onto my memory stick via my laptop. I need to get internet connectivity on my PC. My friend advised me to put the stick into the PC and then to open the terminal and type the following commands: gunzip sakis3g.g2 > chmod+xsakis3g > /sakis3g --interactive. Each command on a new line however after typing the first line: gunzip sakis3g.g2, I got 'No such file or directory'.

Vodafone (Huawei K3520) mobile broadband dongle. Yes i know its a touchy subject but i am going cross-eyed reading info on various forums from this one to the betavine forums and a detour through vodafone themselves. I just can't find clear concise info on how to get this dongle up and running with Ubuntu. My laptop is Acer Aspire 5633 WLMi. I would really really appreciate your help on this subject i need to get online with this dongle and Ubuntu.
I have a Vodafone mobile broadband dongle for the United Kingdom. The installation software is for Windows and Macs only. In Windows it works fine. If I plug the dongle in the USB in Ubuntu then it is recognised but the installation does not start (quite understandably). So I tried using wine with the Windows executable. It starts off promisingly, then hangs. Some files are created along with desktop icons but the installation does not complete.
I have seen here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=vodafone) the comment that Vodafone installation can be tricky. So, can any kind person tell me if it is possible to get Vodafone dongles working under 10.04? Also, are there any other UK broadband pay-as-you-go dongles that will work? I have seen in a very recent post that "3" seems to be plug-and-play?
I have a k3806-z vodafone mobile broadband modem, on ubuntu 10.04. I have added the mobile broadband connection with the network manager wizard. But network manager does not list my connection. I installed usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data. Still nothing. The disc utility tells me it recognises the modem as a cd drive and a storage device. Evidently usb-modeswitch is not working.

I have a strange problem with my mobile broadband connection. I hope I am not the only one (so it will be fixed), but since I haven't found any others having the same problem yet, I am not so confident.I started using mobile broadband, via a HUAWEI E1762 HSPA USB stick since Jaunty. I've had the same problem in jaunty as I do now in Karmic. Although in Karmic, i've had additional problems (that problem i've found listed as a known bug).The problem is that when I get my mobile broadband to connect, it is sometimes, somehow, not fully connected. Symptoms are as follows:
1. panel icon shows connected and good strength (good)
2. skype connects, and I can chat and voip (good)
3. ping does not work (bad)

My friend switch to Ubuntu (he has a 9.10) and want to set up the mobile broadband. He has a usb modem stick Hyundai mb-810. We tried everything - from the usb-modeswitch to wvdial and nothing works. We have read millions of pages of tutorials and forums but still - nothing works. He is now thinking to go to Windoze XP and leaving the Linux community though he is impressed with the Ubuntu.

Actually, about two times it worked and was connected and I was using it. Though that appears to have been a random and non-recratable event.

I tried usb_switchmode but that tells me:

I do notice that sometimes the device is mounted as a CD. I've tried ejecting it and it appears to be recognized (i.e the above messages appear in dmesg).
i am using ubuntu 10.04. my huawei e1550 usb mobile broadband modem was detected out of the box and was working fine . But after unlocking it with a software,the modem is detected and when i connect ,it immediately disconnects. unlocking was some 'Firmware upgrade' . I tried other distros like pclinuxOs but the same problem prevails. and it is working in windows.

2. ZTE MF626
3. Huawei K3565-Z
4. Nokia 5800XM phone in PC Suite Mode (works on my other laptop running Ubuntu 10.04)
I have tried uninstalling with a full purge of USB-Modeswitch and then reinstalling it. This machine is upgraded from 10.04. It wasn't working in 10.04 either.
I just installed 10.10 on a my new Aspire One Acer netbook and I got a mobile broadband USB stick from Wind mobile.
The stick is activated because it works on my 20 GB Windoze 7 O.S. but it doesn't work at all on my 140 GB Ubuntu O.S. Both systems are on the same machine so I know it's not a hardware problem either.
Here's what happens: I log on to Ubuntu, plug in the stick and I select the "New mobile broadband GSM connection" in the network connections menu.
From there I selected my country (Canada) and my mobile provider (Wind Mobile) than I selected my plan (Mobile Broadband) and my APN (broadband.windmobile.ca).
Then the stick blinks slowly and the network icon looks forever for a connection but no matter how long I wait no connection ever establishes. My roomate has it working on his HP laptop Ubuntu but no luck on mine. The stick just keeps blinking, a steady light indicates a connection.
I have an acer 532h aspire one, running ubuntu 10.04.
Basically, I bought a Telstra Turbo USB broadband stick and I've been having a bit of hell getting it to work. First I couldn't get the computer to recognize it had been plugged in at all. I downloaded the modeswitch packages to no avail. I tried a few other terminal tweaks but they didn't change anything either. I left the card in and restarted the netbook and it finally recognized the wireless card. I was able to surf the internet for an hour or so a couple times. But after stowing the computer away for a couple hours and turning it on again, I found that this work around was no longer effective. So now I'm back to the blue light never blinking and I have to tether my phone and pay ridiculous data charges because I'm in the middle of nowhere.
I'm really new at troubleshooting things that don't work right out of the box.
It's a telstra turbo prepaid wireless broadband. The stick isn't even recognized as removable media.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with my mobile connection. This has been working fine for months, but in the past few days it has connected OK, I've been able to transfer data, but after 30s the connection closes. Setup is Acer AA1 with F12 connecting via bluetooth to Nokia 3110c on O2.
So to try and figure out what's happening I put the bluetooth dongle in my desktop PC, also running F12, made a connection and again it dropped out after 30s. Then I fired up windows on the AA1 and made a connection using the same dongle, this time it held up OK. This leads me to think that something has changed recently in F12 to upset it.
I tried to preupgrade to f14 and cancel it after some time. Now, I am facing a problem that I cannot access internet from mobile broadband; but I can access net while i am connected via ethernet or wireless. I have cleared preupgrade files with
Quote: yum clean all; yum remove @preupgrade
$ uname -rs Linux 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE
It can detect my HUawei modem and creating an IP as well. But no Internet. Can you tell me the reason?
This is not really a problem but I'd like to know if anything can be done about it.I run Fedora 12 (kernel 2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686)/Gnome 2.28.2 on my Acer Aspire One netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom CPU and 1.5Gb RAM.I use a Huawei E160 mobile broadband modem to get online and this works OK; but (for example) I am on Airliners.net and looking at the trip reports, the photos are somewhat 'fuzzy'. Obviously the modem does not download too much data and you just have to do Shift+A to get it to 'reload' the pictures. After this they are crystal clear.However, is there a config setting that you could alter to do this automatically � e.g. download all the image data at once? I have looked in the Network Manager settings for my mobile broadband account and there is nothing in there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the last week I have noticed that sometimes my Mobile Broadband connection just goes off without me doing anything! I have credit on the dongle account, so it isn't that. I'm using fedora 14 on an acer aspire one netbook. Dongle is a Huawei E160 on o2 here in the UK Kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.i686.fc14
Sometimes unplugging and replugging the usb dongle works. Othertimes, I have to leave it out for several hours. It does seem to happen daily, though.
I few days ago I bought a mobile broadband, with dongle model Huawei e1820. I have no problem connecting to the internet. The settings in network manager are correct. But when I use the modem with high traffic for a while, like streaming, the speed gets slower and slower until finally the modem shuts down and restarts itself. After the modem restarts, it connects to the internet again, but now the speed is terrible. And if i continue using high traffic it will restart itself in a matter of minutes. But if I plug it out and don't use it for a while, the speed is back to "acceptable". For a while...

I have a Mobile Broadband connection (as NetworkManager calls it) that works very well until the latest update. Now it fails to connect 99.9% of the time. When it does connect it works very sluggishly.
I didn't update a second computer I have and it still works fine here. Both run F10 x86_64, both are fully updated (except for NM on this one).

I just installed Fedora 11 (excellent work by the Fedora team!) and got my Verizon mobile USB CDMA device working after some file modifications (easily found via searching).
I have to click the network icon in the task bar, and select "Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA) Connection" to get it to connect though. It then shows up via "ifconfig" as ppp0 and all is good.
But how do I get this to auto-start when the system reboots? It doesn't show up in the network manager, and I'm not even sure how to use command-line to start up the CDMA connection! I only can do it via clicking that icon.
My connection is much slower on linux than windows (I'm dualbooting so its easy to test). On speedtest.net I get 0.30Mb/s at most on linux but about 2Mb/s on windows.Torrents does not seem to be affected thou. I've got speeds up to about 150kB/s on Fedora.I'm running a fresh install of Fedora 12 64 bit.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Fedora 14 (kernel 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686) I am not able to get an internet connection on my laptop via mobile broadband. However dialing succeeds and the provider starts the daily flate rate accounting.I tried the graphical network management as well as wvdial and even sakis3g (achitecture free variant from URl...).With wvdial (well configured I think) and sakis3g the dial connection is established (permanent blue light on Huawei E169). "netstat -ie" shows that the network configuration has changed (device pp0 instead of eth0 and "netstat -rn" shows that default router is set to 10.64.64.64). But "ping" does not receive data from any internet IP address and browser cannot render any website. A later check call of my prepaid balance said that the daily rate countdown was initiated (so I pay for nothing).
The GUI of the KDE network icon seems to work similar but does not set the usb key into the connected state (only blinking blue light and break-off after a few seconds).Disabling of selinux didn't change anything as well.With Mandriva 2010 I didn't have any problems with same mobile key and provider.
