Ubuntu Networking :: Which Mobile Broadband Works Best With 10.10 Out Of Box

Dec 26, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Networking :: 8.04 LTS - No Settings For Mobile Broadband

Jan 27, 2010

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 ?

Ubuntu Networking :: Unstable Mobile Broadband ?

Mar 6, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: 10.04 - Use My Mobile Broadband Once - Then It Stopped

May 3, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband Not Recognized

May 12, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: My Wifi Blocks My Mobile Broadband

Jan 8, 2010

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed as a dual boot on my Acer 5810T notebook. My problem is this, when I am connected to my home wifi connection (no internet, just used for printing) and to my mobile broadband (at&t tethered) neither chrome or firefox will download a web page. As soon as I disconnect from my wifi network, I can browse the internet fine. If I re-connect to my wifi network again the next time I click on a link nothing happens. Can I prioritize the connections so that the browsers look at the mobile broadband connection first?

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband Connection Tcp Not Always Working?

Jan 12, 2010

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)

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband Connection Error In 10.04?

May 7, 2010

i recently installed ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop. everything is working fine except for my mobile broadband connection. i use a huawei ec1260 USB 3g modem to connect to the net. the OS detects the modem fine and the network manger applet prompts me to set up the connection as well i.e entering the username, password, number to be dialled etc. however when i actually try to dial the connection the applet icon flashes for a long while and a notification pops up saying connection disconnected. has anyone come across same kind of problem and solutions, if any.

Earlier i used the same modem in in karmic i was able to connect to net and even now i am able to connect using the modem in windows 7 as well

Ubuntu Networking :: Enforce Mobile Broadband Via Bluetooth?

May 13, 2010

I have Ubuntu gnome 10.04 'lucid' and I can connect with Mobile Broadband internet by using my Nokia 5800 as an USB dongle by just setting the right "Mobile Broadband" settings parameters. It connects flawlessly.

Then I set the /etc/rfcomm0 file with the proper parameters with the Bluetooth MAC address and the proper channel and paired the phone with my PC of course.

But how can I enforce the network manager that it selects Bluetooth instead of USB ?

Ubuntu Networking :: Mobile Broadband Doesn't Working?

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: ZTE MF112 (3 Mobile Broadband) Mounting As A CD?

Jul 10, 2010

I bought the MF112 mobile broadband dongle from 3 and I'm pleased to say it worked pretty much straight out of the box! The only problem, well minor annoyance, is that as described here.[URL].. it detects as a CD drive which must be ejected before you can use it as a modem. When running Windows it does the same, and autorun kicks in to install the 3 software, so it's clearly down to the on-board storage.

My question is this.. is there any way to stop it detecting as a CD drive? My experience so far with Ubuntu tells me pretty much anything is possible with enough time and effort but I'm hoping I'm missing something and someone out there has a simple fix for this! I've been using Ubuntu for over 3 years now but I still feel like a beginner sometimes when it's something I haven't come across before Edit: Just to add that the on-board storage it mounts is read-only.

A word of warning to anyone else thinking of buying this, you WILL need access to either a Windows/Mac machine, an equivalent VM, or a local 3 store to retrieve your 'My3' password (for top-ups etc) as it can only be retrieved by using the 3 software. A slight pain, but takes seconds

Ubuntu Networking :: Using A Mobile Broadband Key To Access Internet?

Aug 7, 2010

i recently-ish bought a netbook, and a mobile-broadband toggle to go with it, and set it aside to use later. i promptly installed the Netbook remix on the laptop. Well, I goofed, and didn't notice until well after I bought the WAN toggle that it was made for windows.

so, I downloaded Wine in an attempt to run the start.exe and get my internet. the executable (and the entire drive, i found) are marked by ubuntu as read only. Is there anyway to change this to allow me to run the file? if i did, would it even work?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Enable Mobile Broadband Connection?

Oct 20, 2010

i downloaded ubuntu 10.10 for learning purpose. All goes well, i installed it successfully. The problem which i face is that when i connected my mobile broadband device, ubuntu detects it and i have succesfully made the connection. But the network Manager is showing "disable" Mobile Broadband connection. I tried to put a check on Enable Mobile Broadband but can't check it. So i can't access Internet in ubuntu. I think some offline package installation should be there to resolve the problem, or some console commands. I tried to use the (wvdial) which i use at Backtrack. but i think ubuntu did not have.

Ubuntu Networking :: Use Droid Incredible For Mobile Broadband On 10.10?

Dec 6, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. I wanted to setup my droid incredible as a modem to connect via the builtin broadband connection under network manager. I searched around and found couple of ways using wvdial as well as a tunneling app. The funny thing is, that I was able to setup my phone as a usbserial device and use it ONCE to connect successfully via the built-in broadband connection setup method. But ever since, it has not worked . Currently I am running a fresh install of 10.10, and have tried to insert usbserial module for my phone in the kernel, but it does not work. The command I used :

Code:
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x00b4 product=0x0ffb I have not made this change permanent though. But whenever I run this and connect my phone with broadband connect enabled, it recognizes my phone however it uses a 'generic' driver according to the logs, and it never lets me enable Broadband Connection or connect successfully.

Networking :: Multiple Mobile Broadband Connections

Jun 28, 2010

I have a question concerning mobile broadband connections: Is it possible to have multiple mobile broadband connections active at the same time?I currently have two cellphones connected to my Ubuntu box and both of them can successfully setup an Internet connection for my Ubuntu box (say connection X or connection Y), though not at the same time. Unfortunately both connections are very limited in speed (around 10kb/s each. And this is my only access to the Internet where I live). Therefore, I wish to use the two connections simultaneously to download files from the Internet (file 1 with connection X and file 2 with connection Y). Is this method of doubling my bandwidth possible in Ubuntu?

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Load Gmail With Mobile Broadband Connection?

Jan 24, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago and am loving it so far. There is, however, one huge problem which is spoiling all my fun: I can't access my gmail.

I'm using a Huawei E220 USB modem with T-Mobile UK. Plugged it in and was very impressed when I could set up my connection with minimal fuss. When I try to load gmail though, I get stuck with the statusbar saying 'Waiting for www.google.com...'. All other sites work fine (including google.com), and I don't get this problem when connecting though the Web 'n' Walk software in Windows XP. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can start working this out?
