Ubuntu Networking :: Venison Broadband - Won't Recognize Or Start To Install
Jan 18, 2010
Haven't posted for a while as I have been doing OK. Not trying too much, too fast. I am trying to load the Verizon broadband card software so that I may get online on my Latitude 610 with Ububtu 9.10. I put in the CD and it won't recognize or start to install. I can't get online to check for packages until I can install the software.
It is Verizon PC5740. Can I download to the computer I am using now (windows) and then to a thumb drive or a cd or something. Or do I have to wait to get to where I can get online thru my wireless connection. This is all very new and I am trying to learn.
I am trying to use Verizon MIFI mobile broadband and ubuntu jaunty jackalope doesn't detect the connection. Verizon has software for mac and windows but not for linux.

I need help on how to install Telstra Bigpond Mobile broadband . The dongel is a ZTE model MF633BP+ Mobile Card. I have tried with Ubuntu 10.10, 10.04 and 9.10 but all I can get is a message saying it is disconnected. The computer is a modified Optima with a new motherboard, RAM and power supply with a 120GB hard drive.The hard drive is empty so which of the Ubuntu models suits a geriatic old fart of 67 like me who has only low computer skills.
PS I think I have also sent this request to a wrong address on these forums.
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?
How do I installed a sprint novatel 3g modem? I see sprint under the mobile broadband tab when I create a new connection, and it shows all the right information, but I never can connect.
I have just gotten a Verizon Pantech UML290 usb 4g modem. According to the following post at the verizon forum this is workable in Linux. 4G LTE Data-stick Mac/Linux/Windows-other authentication information. - Verizon Wireless Community I am using SuSE 11.3 x64. Some of the settings they call for I can't find where the configurations should go, APN, CID, Model? Further into this above post, there are examples of success in Ubuntu and Fedora.
[Code]....
I have installed the modem via YaST2 under Network/Modem but to no success. I am running Qinternet to control the connection. I have been using this same setup with the previous modem a Pantech UM175 usb 3g modem. Below is some information I pulled to start the process:
Having one issue with evolution not showing html websites showing up in email like verizon sending a promo. I have gone to edit, preferences, mail preferences, html messages and have always load images from the internet chosen. I have also added sender to contacts. Even if I right click message and tell it to dload images it doesn't.
I have installed fedora 12 recently. after installation i tried to connect to the internet using BSNL broadband connection. I filled in the details such as IP, Netmask, Gateway and even DNS servers. In the services also I ensured that the network manager services is on. However even though my computer cannot connect to the internet. I then tried the ping test of the modem from the address 192.168.1.1 and found that the ping test is successful. Then i tried the network administrator and there I noticed something unusual.
There are two options in the devices eth0 and eth1 thats ok but the unusual; thing is that the Activate (green button), Deactivate (red button) and even the delete buttons are in the background and I cannot select them. Isthis the problem for the network connectivity.

Just loaded Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell 5100, (XP finally got the bsod) I have verizon mobile broadband, all was very good until I realized I cannot connect wirelessly. The usb modem was not recognized, there is no indication of any wireless connection. There is no icon and nothing happens when the usb modem is plugged in. I have been working on this for hrs & hrs. I am a complete novice on Linux, but CompT1 A certified on PC's
I have an USB (Huawei 1751) modem for mobile broadband. I had it up and running in Ubuntu 9.10 but I had to clear the computer for various reasons. I have decided to only use LTS versions so for the reinstall I have used Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I have downloaded and installed usb_modeswitch and can see that the modes is changed to the right value. After that I wanted to add a new mobile broadband connection in the network connections wizzard - but cannot see any settings for mobile broadband. I am sure it must be possible - but where is this function hidden in version 8.04 ?
I have just switched to Ubuntu from Win 7 RC. So far its been fun, learning to use terminal and all. But I have got a problem now I cannot find a solution to.
I am using 3 Mobile Broadband. The thing just worked - I plugged it in, created a new connection, modified config a little and was happily browsing.
However, it started acting out yesterday. When I boot the system with the modem plugged in, the USB stick is recignised and NetworkManager starts connecting (I have auto connect on). It then shows the "connected" message, and generally appears working fine.
On the other hand, I cannot open a single page in Firefox, it shows the default server not found page.
I used the approach Windows taught me: close, open, retry. I unmount the 3 Mobile Broadband drive, pull the modem out and reconnect it. NetworkManager then does it's job and this time everything works.
I nether had this problem in Win7 or Vista. It looks to me something goes wrong during the booting when the modem is plugged in.
I have bought reliance netconnect broadband+ 3.1 Mbps connection. I am provided Huawai EC1260 device to make the connection.But using ubuntu 9.1 I am not able to make the connection work. I have tested the device in windows XP and it's working fine there. I don't want to use windows and desperate to establish the connection in Ubuntu 9.1.
I have bsnl broadband connection in dual mode in windows no problem but in ubuntu I cant create a broadband connection. I want to connect in dial up mode.
I have cricket wireless broadband and the starcom um100 usb stick. It reconized it when I first put it in and was able to set it up. I connect to the internet and I am able to go to one or two pages before it freezes on me.
I ran the lshw -C network code and this is what I got it doesnt see my wireless
When I connect my wireless it does see it when I ran the lsusb code ( it didn't see it before when I didn't have it connected)
Here are some screen shots of what I got when I ran these codes:
I decided to give 10.04 a shot, and upon first boot, I was able to setup and use my Rogers Rocket mobile broadband stick. When I rebooted, I found that it was in the network settings, but I was unable to connect, nor did it show up as an option in the drop-menu. I played with the terminal trying to see if anything was wrong, but everything seems normal, which is to say I don't even know what I'm looking for in regards to this type of connection.
I obviously know now that it works, I just don't know what made it stopped for the time being. I'm thinking of doing a fresh install over the current partition, and trying to work the issue from there.
I recently made a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and my mobile broadband no longer works. When I plug it in, the set-up wizard does not appear, and even when I run the wizard manually, the modem is not recognised. I know the modem works as when the laptop ran 9.10 it all worked perfectly.
For the record, it is a Huawei E1550 and has 3 Mobile Broadband Pay-as-you-go.
After googling "Virgin wireless broadband"+Ubuntu I got two posts on seperate websites that advised changing APN to VirginBroadband from Virgininternet whcih I did and also followed the advice of one of the aforementioned posts to disable all Authentication Methods except PAP, I still haven't been able to connect although the machine is obviously trying to. So should I try enableing other Authentication Methods, or could it be a hardware or some other problem?

Reliance Netconnet Broadband+ ZTE does not work out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 9.10. I haven't yet upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 (iso download is at 46% ). Does it work out-of-the-box or is there some packages that need to be installed? (I have a dual-boot laptop Ubuntu/Windows 7)
Code: sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 ifconfig | grep MTU
And then try surfing...
I also have this problem but my internet connection is Mobile Broadband (through a wireless modem HSDPA), not eth0. In this case how can I change the MTU value?
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspirion 1501 and I can't get the internet to work. I've tried configuring a DSL connection from System> Preferences> Network Connections and It doesn't recognize the password. On Windows it works just fine.

In a separate thread I discuss my issues with getting my Blackberry 9650 tethering with Verizon and Ubuntu 10.10 with bluetooth. I'm still hoping to get that working, but in the mean time, I've actually started to think about perhaps getting a mobile broadband card from a US provider separate from my blackberry anyway - preferably one that works right out of box with Ubuntu.
Does anyone here have any recommendations? I know there's a lot of compatible devices, but maybe someone here can recommend a provider (I don't have to stick with Verizon - willing to go AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.) and a USB mobile broadband device that'll work pretty smoothly?
I tried ubuntu and am very happy with the smooth running and clean interface. I am having trouble setting up my network connections. It seems that I am unable to connect to the internet via my broadband modem if I am connected to my LAN via wifi. I think I need to seperate the networks so that the internet traffic does look on the lan for [URL]. I don't think I have had this problem when I used much smaller distros where I had to set it up by hand.
I might need to add some details I am just not sure what is relevant. I only have a basic understanding of what is going on.
solution:
Solved in #ubuntu irc chan with help by erUSUL.
Just in case anyone else is searching for the same thing.
In network connections in the ipv4 settings tab I edited routes by clicking the button and checked the box next to: "use this connection only for resources on its network"
